Cheese
Fruitière de Passavant-Chazot
Emblem of our Jura Mountains, Comté is one of the treasures of our region. It is made in the fruitières. But do you know where this term “fruitière” comes from?
A cheese dairy symbolizes the fruit of the work of farmers who pool their milk production, the work of the cheesemaker who transforms the milk into cheese, and that of the refiner in his cellars who patiently works each wheel to enhance its aromas.
It takes about 450 liters of milk to produce a wheel which will weigh about 40 kilos.
Benoît Cantin will be happy to show you his cheese dairy where Comté cheeses (about 37 per day!), butter and cream are made. You will find these products for sale in the store.
Tours of the cheese dairy are offered on Wednesdays and Fridays at 9am in July and August. It is necessary to register with the Tourist Office on 03 81 84 27 98.
Off-season, visits are possible in June and September on Wednesdays at 9 a.m.
