Enjoy the flagship products of Saveurs des Aravis:
* A.O.P reblochon

Reblochon de Savoie is a cheese made from cow's milk, whose origin dates back to the 13th century in the Thônes valley.
In spring and summer, the cows in the alpine pastures graze the grass rich in mountain flowers.
All year long, enjoy this cheese with aromas of cream and hay.

* The A.O.P abundance

The origin of the Abondance manufacturing secrets comes from the monks in the 12th century. This cheese made from raw or whole cow's milk comes in the form of a wheel and weighs between 6 and 12 kg. Abondance reveals a nutty taste and a supple and melting paste resulting from the know-how.

* The biscantine

A fragrant cider that is drunk chilled and works wonders with pancakes, pies and cakes!

* The buckshot A.O.P

The goats lived alongside the cows on the farms. The excess milk was turned into cheese. Chevrotin is made in a similar fashion to reblochon: it is an uncooked pressed cheese. Each farm processes the milk of its herd by hand to obtain this goat cheese.

* Farmhouse tommes

There are as many varieties of tomme as there are farms in the Aravis! There is something for all tastes ... under a gray and well-flowered crust, you will taste a dough rich in flavors that will revive your taste buds
