🌱 About the Producer：
France boasts over 1,200 (some sources even claim nearly 1,600) different varieties of cheese, making it one of the world's most diverse cheese-producing countries. Former French President Charles de Gaulle once humorously remarked, "How do you govern a country with hundreds of types of cheese?" This statement aptly captures the diversity and importance of French cheeses. These cheeses are primarily categorized into three types based on their milk source: cow's milk cheese (the most common, with a balanced and smooth flavor), sheep's milk cheese (rich and nutty), and goat's milk cheese (fresh and tangy when fresh, becoming more intense with aging). Famous examples include:
Brie: Melts in your mouth, creamy and delicate, often hailed as the "King of Cheeses."
Camembert: The most popular white mold soft cheese in France, with earthy and umami flavors.
Roquefort: A famous blue sheep's milk cheese, with a strong and spicy flavor.
Comté: A semi-hard cow's milk cheese, with nutty and fruity aromas, suitable for beginners.
In France, cheese is more than just food; it's a core part of social life, often paired with red wine, bread, and fruit, becoming the soul of the meal. Many cheeses are certified with AOP (Protected Designation of Origin), emphasizing traditional handcrafting and regional terroir.

🛍 Product Information：
This Bleu de Termignon from Maison Paccard is one of Savoie’s rarest and most exceptional cheeses, produced only between June and September in the high alpine pastures of Termignon, at around 2,000 metres above sea level. Made from the raw milk of Tarine and Abondance cows, which graze on the wild grasses and flowers of the Vanoise National Park, it carries the distinctive character of its mountain terroir. Only a handful of producers continue to make it, with fewer than 60 cows contributing to this highly limited production.
Its traditional production remains remarkably close to the methods used for centuries: fresh curd is combined with older, naturally soured curd, then hand-pressed in pine moulds lined with linen cloth. During several months of ageing, the ivory, crumbly paste develops irregular dark-blue veins naturally, rather than being inoculated with commercial moulds. Beneath its hard, brown-ochre rind, the cheese offers a powerful yet refined flavour, with notes of wild herbs, hay, cellar earth, mushroom and warm butter, followed by a savoury, slightly sharp finish. Its texture can be both grainy and rich, with a rustic complexity that changes from one piece to another.
Maison Paccard, founded in the Aravis Valley in 1990, specialises in the ageing and distribution of farmhouse cheeses from Savoie. Its careful affinage preserves the unique identity of the Bleu de Termignon, allowing this rare mountain cheese to express its natural character, remarkable depth and exceptional sense of place. Over the years, Maison Paccard has received numerous awards and distinctions for the quality of its traditional Savoie cheeses.
Enjoy it at room temperature with rustic sourdough, walnuts, pear or fig, or crumble it over a green salad, roasted vegetables or polenta. It pairs particularly well with the Sauternes AOC, Château Roumieu 2019, whose honeyed, dried-fruit and candied-fruit notes balance the cheese’s intense, earthy and savoury character.
