Whether soft, hard, blue-veined or fondue, cheese plays a central role in the culinary culture of many countries, and particularly in France, where there is an immense diversity of varieties. In fact, do you know how many varieties of cheese there are in France? More than 1,200!
For cheese lovers of all kinds, cheese is much more than just a food: they appreciate the rich flavors, textures and aromas that vary according to the type of milk - cow, goat, sheep - and the artisanal manufacturing methods used. It's not for nothing that tourists to Paris have one idea in mind: try French cheese (in addition to wine, bread, croissants...)!
Whether you're loyal to your classics or want to discover rare or little-known regional cheeses, whether you're into cheese platters or cheese and wine pairings, whether you're a true connoisseur or a neophyte of cheese maturing, you've come to the right place.
