Fromagerie Germain is a renowned French creamery with a rich tradition dating back to 1921, when Henri Germain established the dairy in Chalancey, in eastern France. Over more than a century, this family-owned company has become synonymous with premium cheeses bearing Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) labels.
Their cheeses are crafted from carefully selected milk, adhering to traditional methods of aging and processing. For instance, Époisses AOP is known for its creamy texture and intense flavor, while Langres AOP features a distinctive hollow top traditionally filled with Champagne or Marc de Bourgogne before serving.
