It all started in the early 80's when Jean-Claude Guilloteau set out to create his own cheese. This passionate man devoted 10 years of his life to developing a recipe that Fromagerie Guilloteau still uses today in the French countryside.In 1981, he made his first cheese using a unique approach to cheese making that filtered the milk and kept the best it had to offer! The cheese features a unique thin rind, a unique taste and a melting texture. The cheese-making savoir-faire has remained the same: that of Mr. Guilloteau. His knowledge has been passed on by Fromagerie Guilloteau cheese makers for over 40 years now. Fromagerie Guilloteau uses only fresh milk from local French farms that is never more than 24 to 72 hours old, adding even more value (and flavor!) The cheese's even, creamy textures, delicate and unique tastes, and very fine rinds must be tasted to be truly valued. And for those who already know-- the value of any bite of Guilloteau is truly priceless.
