Fromagerie du Buron is a family-owned dairy located in Cournon-d'Auvergne, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region of France. Established in 1904 by Jean Duchêne, it specializes in the aging of traditional cheeses from Auvergne, particularly Saint-Nectaire AOP.
Currently, the third generation of the Duchêne family, led by Pierre Duchêne, continues this tradition, combining centuries-old expertise with modern techniques. In addition to aging Saint-Nectaire, Fromagerie du Buron produces other authentic cheeses, including Grand Murols and its variations such as Buronnoix, a cheese aged in walnut liqueur, which has won medals at the General Agricultural Competition.
