Coopérative de Thônes - Le Farto

La Coopérative du Reblochon Fermier, known as Le Farto, is a cooperative founded to preserve and promote traditional cheese-making practices in the Savoy region of France. Established in Thônes, the heart of the Aravis mountains, the cooperative is dedicated to the production, aging, and sale of iconic Savoyard cheeses.

Le Farto specializes in Reblochon Fermier AOP, a soft, washed-rind cheese made exclusively from raw milk sourced from local dairy farmers who adhere to strict traditional methods. It is the only cooperative solely focused on aging Reblochon Fermier AOP, ensuring the highest standards of quality and authenticity.

In addition to Reblochon, they produce and refine other celebrated regional cheeses such as Tomme de Savoie IGP, Beaufort AOP, Raclette de Savoie IGP, and Chevrotin AOP. The cooperative places a strong emphasis on sustainability, supporting local farmers and preserving the cultural heritage of the region.
