About the Cheese
P’tit Valley is a creamy, soft cheese with a luscious, Alpine-style centre, reminiscent of Vacherin Mont d’Or, but available all year round.
Made from the milk of Montbéliarde cows grazing in Franche-Comté, France, it is ripened for two weeks in a spruce strap and presented in a charming 300g wooden box.
With its subtle woody notes and silky texture, it can be enjoyed hot or cold for a truly indulgent treat.
About the Cheesemaker
Produced by Fromagerie Millerait, a 3rd-generation family-run dairy in Franche-Comté, P’tit Valley reflects nearly a century of artisanal expertise.
Founded in 1921 by Henri Milleret, the company remains fully family-owned and independent, with 175 employees working alongside 200 local farms.
The milk is collected within 25km of the dairy, using 95% farm-grown fodder, and processed within 48 hours.
Using only natural ingredients and vegetarian rennet, Fromagerie Millerait crafts cheeses with authentic flavours and a rich expression of local biodiversity.
