Top-quality milk from cows grazing in unspoiled countryside, cheese-making skills handed down through the generations, the pride in a job well done and consistency of quality every year bring the Fromagerie de l’Ermitage a number of prizes and medals of excellence.

Reaching the top is great, but it’s even better when you stay there. This is what specialists and consumers have been saying for years about Ermitage and the quality of its produce.
