A little history about Fromagerie Schmidhauser
It all started in Switzerland, more than a hundred years ago, with their cheesemaker great-grandfather, then in Isère, from the 1920s, with their grandfather. Then, it was their father's turn, in 1961, to set up in the very heart of the Savoyard country, as close as possible to dairy production and to create the Schmidhauser company specializing in cheese ripening. Since then, they have cultivated this family tradition, the father, the children, and Max Schmidhauser, to always guarantee quality and authentic taste.
