About Fruitiere Du Pays Grandvallier
Fruitière du Pays Grandvallier is an agricultural cooperative located in Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux, at the heart of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park. This cooperative unites 14 members (26 farmers) who collectively gather and process milk into traditional Jura cheeses such as Comté AOP, Morbier AOP, Raclette, and Tomme du Grandvaux.
Annually, they process about 6 million liters of milk, of which 91% is dedicated to producing Comté cheese, while the remainder is used for other cheeses. A significant portion of the products is sold to affineurs during the first month after production, while the rest is aged in their own cellars and sold directly through the cooperative's shop.
In addition to their own products, the store offers a variety of high-quality local and artisanal items, including honey, beverages, and cured meats. Customers can shop directly at the store or place orders through the online shop.
