The best grocery stores LE MASSIF JURASSIEN

Mathieu Buffard loves to cook both savory and sweet dishes. He likes to travel and bring back ideas to spice up his dishes. Spices were just the thing, and he made them his main activity. On the heights of Saint-Claude, he has set up his production workshop. He brings in his products from all over the world, paying particular attention to environmentally-friendly sources and the remuneration of human labor. He transforms spices into surprising blends. It's not magic, but know-how.

We like the friendly welcome and the judicious advice given by Cyril and Francis, the two creators of the shop. The products, well selected, reflect the regional know-how in terms of delicacies: cheeses and dairy products, craft beers, wines and honey from the Jura (among others) are honored. La Besace du Comtois also sells bread all year long and in the summer season, excellent homemade sandwiches are offered. The fame of this beautiful store, in front of the cathedral, is well justified!

The Robbe family, they are craftsmen since 1924, of preserves of all kinds! The specialty is the snail, but you will also find terrines, fruits in syrup, jams, mushrooms and various prepared dishes. If you come during the frog season (from March), don't miss a visit, they have their reputation! Corinne Cuby, the great-granddaughter, will give you a warm welcome and will explain that several generations of remarkable know-how are to be found in this place through the good products.

An online delicatessen where you can treat yourself to excellent Franc-Comtois products from small regional producers, that's the promise made by Ô Délices du Larmont since it opened in 2016. Wines, charcuterie, cheeses, as well as sweet and savory treats are all on offer here. Not to mention other items from elsewhere, but rigorously selected for their quality too. Like coffees and teas, oils and condiments, for example. A very wide choice, and so many opportunities to treat yourself.

You can't pass through Morteau without a stopover at Chalet Jacquet! The unmistakable regional products are grouped together there in a true palace of terroirs! Cheeses (comté, morbier, mont-d'or), sausages (Morteau, cabbage), smoked palette, etc. If necessary, the staff will be happy to point you in the direction of regional proposals. All the main wines of "chez nous", from macvin and vin jaune to straw wines and other spirits, enliven the house. A range of wooden handicrafts is also on offer.

It's an artisanal company where we make in the pure tradition and a store with the warm welcome of Patrice Rebouillat. Let yourself be seduced by a sausage with spruce bark, a "buchette" with Gex blue cheese, a "brési du Jura" (dried beef), or a duck terrine with trousseau. In the cheese section: comté, morbier, mont d'Or, but also jams, fir tree honey, hazelnut liqueur, raspberry liqueur, a crémant, an arbois or smoked trout.
