Our cheeses

The country of Montluçon abounds in small producers who perpetuate ancestral traditions and contribute to the valuation of our soil.

A rich and quality production

The Montluçon region is particularly appreciated for the quality of its local products and the local cheeses are the perfect illustration of this.
Will you also succumb to the temptation?

Historically agricultural land where the Charolais reigns supreme, the production of cow, goat or even ewe’s milk cheeses nevertheless remains a tradition firmly anchored in our gastronomic heritage.

Numerous restaurants also offer delicious cheese specialties, among which we can notably cite the Chambérat, the Cérilly, the Bézenet, as well as the Theneuille, this list being far from exhaustive.

Your mouth is now watering, we are intimately convinced of it!

And as the proverb would say, we won’t make a big deal out of it!

Did you know?

Counting among the most famous and ancestral cheeses of our region (whose origins date back to the 17th century), how can we not mention the Chambérat, produced in the commune of the same name, and located in the northwestern part of the Allier region… It is a soft raw milk cheese with a rind washed with morge [salt water solution. It has an orange color, because it is rubbed three times a week with what is called the red ferment.chambérat does not have an Appellation d’origine contrôlée (AOP).
On the other hand it has its own festival, the 1st Monday after August 15, in Chambérat.

The Cérilly, the other emblem of the Pays de Montluçon

Located in the village of Theneuille on the territory of the Pays de Tronçais, the Déret family has been carrying on a family tradition since 1961 with the creation of the Cérilly.

Production has since been intensified and enriched with new products to meet the expectations of an increasingly initiated and knowledgeable clientele.

Today Figalin, Saint-Pardoux, Bleu Bourbon, Tomme de Tronçais, … have enlarged the range to the delight of fine gourmets.
