Jean Faup Bethmale, the art of tradition
Cheese dairy since 1904
Our history is undoubtedly one of the best-kept secrets in the Pyrenees. Founded in 1904 in the Oust valley in Ariège (09), our cheese dairy began producing artisanal Camembert. After nearly 60 years, it has reinvented itself, applying the recipe of mountain cheeses to a pasteurized cheese whose rind imitates traditional cheese. For the first time a Pyrenees cheese reaches a national and European market. As time goes by, our cheese dairy innovates by reviving an ancestral tradition: raw milk cheese with a natural rind.
An ancestral and artisanal expertise
With its strong devotion to tradition and artisanal quality, Jean Faup cheese dairy perpetuates the family heritage through the ages by producing exceptional cheeses that reflect the diversity of our terroir. Celebrating over 120 years of history, the dairy continues to delight cheese lovers and specialists alike, honoring the spirit of mountain cheeses and the vision of the Jean Faup family.
