Regional cheese and cream stores Picardy

Just 5 minutes from the Brasserie Saint-Germain, this artisanal goat's farm offers some brushed cheeses such as the Tomette affinée and the Tome, as well as a wide range of lactic, soft and pressed cheeses. Distinguished with the label Saveur en Or, all their products can be found directly on site in the Bouc'tique. Alongside the cheeses is now a range of cosmetic products made from the milk of the farm's goats: soaps, body milk and even washing powder!

This master ripener, now well known to the people of Amiens, selects small French producers whose cheeses he matures in his cellars. A Picardy man and lover of his region, Julien Planchon is keen to perpetuate the values that drive him: a taste for the good, the beautiful, with respect for animals and farmers. Not one of the cheeses on display has not been selected by him. You will only be entitled to exceptional cheeses! The team around him is professional, friendly and always full of good advice if you are lost in the wide choice. It is also possible to order trays to create a sensation with your loved ones!

"Cheese is an art," we're told. Here, everything is homemade. The Olivier family has been refining cheese from father to son since 1907. In the store, you'll find farmhouse cheeses from all over France. Romain Olivier pugnaciously defends the know-how handed down by his father, Philippe. Here, forgotten cheeses are given a new lease of life. Their cheeses can also be found on the menus of some of the finest restaurants in the area, earning the Fromagerie a national reputation.

In this exceptional cheese factory, you buy regional dairy products made by a master cheese refiner, Wullus Paul Alexandre. He uses raw milk from which he knows the origin, formally rejects productions with chemical colorants, enhancers of any kind, stabilizers of any form and puts forward a natural cellar maturing "in the old way". Creator of the Saint-Omer camembert, he also offers the Clairmarais tome or the maroilles from his abbey, and many other regional flavors.

If those big cheese stalls aren't enough to make your mouth water, Dorothée the cheese-maker will. With her big smile and infectious friendliness, Dorothée, who took over the cheese dairy in June 2023, will be able to suggest the products that will enchant the end of your meal. Alongside the traditional cheeses, you'll find Picardy nuggets such as Brie with mustard, tomme with salicornia and brillat-savarin with truffles. A quality gourmet address to use whenever you feel like it!

Cheeses, yoghurts, milk, cream, cottage cheese and butter: all the production is made with the milk of the 75 cows of Valérie Leroux and her family. Twenty years ago, Valérie started (at the time, it was quite a gamble!) in milk processing. Since then, she has been making Bergues cheese, washed with beer as is the tradition, but she has also created her own cheeses: the Petit Bissezeele, the Bissezeelois or the Bissezeelin, with flaxseed or the carré du Chapitre. And even a camenbergues! A real delight.

Since 1952, La Prairie is an address that delights lovers of good cheeses. You will find the great French references, but also the maroilles and other unavoidable cheeses of the region, without counting some more singular products proposed to your taste buds. La Prairie also has a nice selection of digestives, wines, quality teas, as well as jams and other home-made preserves. Don't hesitate to ask for the custom-made trays for all your occasions and receptions, you won't be disappointed! The sign exists also in Arras.

At the Crèmerie de la Ferme, you will find more than 300 cheeses by the slice. Among them: bergues, maroilles, mont-des-cats or flax gouda (a must try!) for the most local. You can also taste the classics such as Camembert or Gruyère. Lovers of good cheeses will be in heaven! The creamery also offers dairy products and eggs, but also a nice choice of regional specialities and some beers! If you're new to cheese, let the saleswomen guide you through the shop and they'll know how to please your taste buds.

This family dairy farm offers products that are then sold at the Talents de Ferme collective store, near the farm. A way for Pascale and Benoît Baron to continue their adventure by offering their products directly with as few intermediaries as possible. A successful bet for this family! Among the products offered, we find: milk, beaten milk, yoghurts, cottage cheese, cream desserts... You will also find baskets supplied with the well-known Saveur en'Or label.

From the outset, what strikes you is the setting in which the educational goat farm is located: a fort dating from 1878. Once you have passed the porch and crossed the vaulted passageways, the goat farm, all dressed in wood, is waiting for you. Béatrice welcomes you for a two-part visit. The first one, theoretical: biology, breeding, cheese making, the second one, practical: brushing, feeding of the kids (February and March), hay for the adults, milking. Note: the male kids do not end up in the slaughterhouse but in eco-pasture. No doubt, here we love goats!

A affinage cellar and regional cheeses with envy.

Honey manufacturing, royal jelly, mead, spices… Visit and tasting on reservation.

As surprising as it may seem, here is the one and only producer of maroilles cheese in the town of Maroilles! Since its creation in 1980, the cheese dairy regularly wins many awards at the cheese fair of La Cappelle. In the store, a video explains the process of making Maroilles cheese. In addition to the farmhouse maroilles, you will find the Avesnes dumpling or the Cerfmont heart. The cheese factory can also be visited by appointment, but you will have to stay behind the windows, for hygiene reasons!

In Vercin, Sylviane and Christophe Henguelle work in the heart of the seven valleys, a beautiful green and hilly region. It is in this green setting, a little away from the village, that you will find their farm of Bois d'Esgranges. The shepherd and the shepherdess welcome you and open their doors to let you discover their production. From the milk of their ewes they carefully make cheese and yoghurt from March to September-October.

Direct sales of maroilles, as well as farmhouse goat cheeses and flamiches with maroilles and leeks.

La Ferme des Preutins is a cheese and cream shop located in Preux-au-Bois. There are also no user reviews or comments to give an idea of visitor experience. It is therefore difficult to give a precise description of this establishment.
