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!

Cow's Milk Cheese JANUARY 2026 | 25

Rosey Goat Rosey Goat is a distinctive semi-soft cheese crafted from high-quality Goat’s Milk and enrobed in fragrant fresh rosemary. The milk itself plays a central role in defining the cheese’s character: naturally bright, slightly tangy, and clean on the palate, goat’s milk lends Rosey Goat its signature freshness and gentle acidity. Because goat’s milk has smaller fat globules and a different protein structure than cow’s milk, it yields a cheese that’s exceptionally smooth, easily spreadable, and luxuriously creamy without being heavy. As the cheese ages, the pure, lightly sweet notes of the milk mingle with the herbaceous aroma of the rosemary, creating a beautifully balanced profile. The rosemary’s essential oils subtly permeate the paste, enhancing rather than overpowering the delicate flavor of the milk. The result is a cheese with layered complexity: creamy and tender at its core, with fragrant, savory accents throughout.

P'tit Basque Istara P’tit Basque is a celebrated cheese crafted in France’s Basque region, nestled in the Pyrenees Mountains, a culturally rich area spanning the border between France and Spain. Created by Lactalis and imported from France, this artisanal cheese reflects generations of shepherding tradition and is made exclusively from pure ewe milk, the hallmark of its character and charm. Sheep milk lends P’tit Basque its distinctive, inviting aroma and imparts a naturally sweet, buttery depth that cow milk cannot replicate. Higher in fat and protein, ewe milk creates a uniquely creamy texture, remarkably lush for a semi hard cheese, while delivering a clean, subtly nutty finish. This gentle richness, shaped by both the milk and the mountain environment, sets P’tit Basque apart from similar styles like Manchego, offering a milder, more delicate flavor that appeals to both newcomers and connoisseurs.

Saint Nectaire Auvermont

Raclette

is a semi-soft, uncooked pressed cheese salted in brine and ripened for at least 28 days. This dense cheese has a silky texture with a soft acidity, and its taste is similar to that of Reblochon with hints of hazelnut and mushrooms.

Raclette is the world’s most famous melting cheese as well as a beloved dish originally created by Alpine cheesemakers feasting upon boiled potatoes and cornichons topped with the melted cheese.

Bleu d'Auvergne

France’s response to Stilton, Fourme d’Ambert is the ideal blue. The flavor is buttery, salty, and full, with a nice kick of an earthy flavor on the final note.

Well-balanced salt and spice makes Bleu d'Auvergne a perfect companion for cooking or for winding down with some Barsac dessert wine. It is still produced by centuries-old traditional methods, salted by hand and ripened slowly.
