Camembert Le Rustique
First made in 1975 in Normandy, the recipe for this iconic French cheese was inspired by the original Norman Camemberts. Nearly 50 years later, the success of this cheese now goes far beyond the French borders.
Chavroux
This is the number one goat’s cheese in France for a reason. Discover some of the many ways the French like to eat and cook with this super versatile fresh chevre.
Saint-Agur
The creamy, yet fruity taste of this number one blue cheese in France makes it a popular gateway cheese for those who think they don’t do “Blue”. Learn how this unique and authentic cheese is made in strict compliance with the know-how of master cheesemakers.
