Down to the very last crumb
When you mention your plans for a weekend of sports, nature, and relaxation in Bourg-Saint-Maurice Les Arcs, the questions your friends and family ask aren’t what you’d expect. No one asks, “How much elevation gain are you planning?” “Oh, going to the mountains for All Saints’ Day?” or even “Are you going to take that paragliding flight we gave you as a gift?!”
No, no—that’s all there is to GOOD FOOD, cheese galore, and other delicacies. “Can you bring me some Beaufort, please?” “Great! Will you bring us some cheese for Caro’s birthday?”
So to save your carrot, cherry tomato, and hummus appetizers, here are our top picks in Bourg-Saint-Maurice that’ll make even your most discerning friends’ taste buds tingle! And since milk isn’t just for making cheese, we’ve got a spot in store for you that only you’ll be able to enjoy.
An association of producers and artisans has given rise to a shop brimming with treasures: farm-fresh cheeses from Ferme Rullier, sheep’s milk yogurts from La Bergerie de Bonvillard, and the delicious lamb from GAEC des Eulets. Be sure to stock up for your gourmet picnics ;)
Cheese with a story behind it tastes even better! These farmers traded the comforts of a permanent teaching position for a life in the great outdoors with their hardy Savoie sheep. These breeds, which were on the brink of extinction in the late 19th century, were saved by the passion of dedicated farmers. The result? Meat, fresh cheeses, and tommes that are to die for!
Place your orders now—this Beaufort, with its nutty notes and the scent of alpine flowers, is sure to be a hit with your loved ones! At the Haute Tarentaise Dairy Cooperative, 52 farmers work to turn their milk into a true delight for the taste buds. And if you want to impress your guests, discover all the secrets of Beaufort by visiting the dedicated section!
