In addition to the spectacular scenery and the excellent array of travel opportunities, the mighty French Alps grant the world with a wonderful variety of cheeses. From the delicious washed-rind Reblochon to the sophisticated Beaufort, the renowned factories and artisan cheese producers scattered throughout the Savoie and Haute Savoie regions welcome guests with a multitude of cheese types, from soft to hard and from famed to peculiar – all of them produced according to ancient traditional techniques. France’s finest alpine cheeses include Reblochon, Beaufort, Abondance, Bleu de Sassenage, and Tomme de Savoie.
Do not worry about where to find them, because once you arrive in the Alps, they’ll find you, whether in their natural form or as an ingredient in various local dishes, so prepare to be spoilt for choice.
