Arnaud Fromagerie is one of the finest and most influential affineurs of Comté. They are the only dairy in France to be awarded the Grand Prix d’Excellence by the Concours Général de Paris for consistently producing exceptional cheese. For over 100 years and three generations, the Arnaud family has traditionally matured cheeses at Fort des Rousses, 1150m high up in the mountains of Poligny, Jura. The Fort originally was built by Napolean over 200 years ago was converted into a purpose built cheese maturing facility by the Arnaud family in 1995.

The texture is firm and smooth. Each fruitière has its own distinct profile that reflects the soil, climate, and flora where the cows graze - from melted butter, milk chocolate, hazelnuts, and fudge to aromas of toast, plum jam, leather, pepper, and dark chocolate, others can be more reminiscent of butterscotch and hazelnuts and even sweet oranges.
