Dairy cooperative Poligny

The Vagne cheese and butter factory was founded over 90 years ago. In 1991, this family unit was entrusted to the Union de Coopératives Agricoles des Fruitières Traditionnelles (UCAFT), which includes 11 workshops. The Comté cheeses are still salted by hand. It manages the maturing of cheeses from the Doubs and Jura regions. The collaboration between all the actors of the sector allows the creation of exceptional raw milk cheeses (4 PDO : Comté, Morbier, Mont d'Or, Bleu de Gex and Raclette). A unique association in the Jura Massif.

It is an excellent idea to set up a Comté cheese dairy in Poligny, at the southern roundabout, not far from the A39 motorway exit. It is a merger of the Tourmont/Saint-Lothain dairy, and each year it transforms 3 million litres of milk into Comté, thanks to its 8 members. It works in partnership with Monts & Terroirs. In the heart of the millstones you will find other dairy products: butter, cancoillotte, yoghurts, creams... And other Comtois delicacies in the shop.
