The establishment, located at the heart of Brie region, makes the best-known products of this area (Brie de Meaux, de Melun...). Besides, they also created some cheeses such as the Fougeru, the Gratte-Paille or the Pierre Robert. Nowadays, they work with 25 milk producers from Seine-et-Marne. The whole cheesemaking process is carried out by hand, and cheeses are turned over twice a week in maturing cellars located in the city of Tournan-en-Brie.
