Best Jura Cheese Producers
Fruitière du Pays Grandvallier is an agricultural cooperative located in Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux, at the heart of the Haut-Jura Regional Nature Park. This cooperative unites 14 members (26 farmers) who collectively gather and process milk into traditional Jura cheeses such as Comté AOP, Morbier AOP, Raclette, and Tomme du Grandvaux.
Annually, they process about 6 million liters of milk, of which 91% is dedicated to producing Comté cheese, while the remainder is used for other cheeses. A significant portion of the products is sold to affineurs during the first month after production, while the rest is aged in their own cellars and sold directly through the cooperative's shop.

Best Jura Cheeses
Raclette Fumée is a cheese made from raw cow's milk, produced using milk from Montbéliarde cows. Its soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture and subtle smoky aroma make it ideal for traditional winter meals. It contains 20% milk fat. This cheese pairs wonderfully with white wines such as Chardonnay from Jura, Roussette from Savoie, Riesling from Alsace, or Sauvignon from the Loire Valley.
In addition to its classic use in raclette dishes, it is also excellent for pizzas and baked recipes.
La Marotte is a cheese crafted by Fruitière du Pays Grandvallier, located in Saint-Laurent-en-Grandvaux in the Jura region of France. This cheese stands out for its creamy texture and distinctive flavor profile, which balances mild, nutty undertones with a subtle hint of tanginess.
Made from high-quality milk sourced from local farms, La Marotte undergoes traditional production methods and careful aging to develop its rich and nuanced character. Its natural rind adds a rustic charm and enhances its depth of flavor, making it a versatile choice for cheese boards, cooking, or enjoying with a crisp white wine.
