    What kind of taster are you?
    A cheese is a matter of taste, but not only that!
    Tasting cheese involves all our senses... we look at it, smell it, touch it, eat it and, most surprising of all, we listen to it.
    From the tasting table, your senses will be awakened to appreciate all the subtleties of Abondance cheese!

    At the end of your visit, we suggest you discover all the richness of our land with many products: Savoy cheeses, sausages, jams, honey, sweets, books and souvenirs...

    Abondance cheese will no longer hold any secrets for you.
