Saint-Joseph

Cheesemaking is a craft honed over time, a passion often handed down from generation to generation. In the heart of the Chartreuse massif, in Isère, the Francillon family has been carrying on this tradition for decades. Based in Saint-Joseph-de-Rivière, on land neighbouring the Saint-Marcellin terroir, they have created something truly unique: the Saint-Joseph.

This bold cheese goes beyond simply blending milks – it literally brings together two small goat’s cheeses and one cow’s cheese, stacked into an elegant tower in which each layer keeps its own identity. This presentation alone makes it a cheese as beautiful to look at as it is delicious.

Its paste, melting from the very first days, grows creamier as it matures. Its finesse remains constant at every stage of tasting. The union of goat’s and cow’s milk gives it a rare aromatic range, with every mouthful revealing a perfect balance of mildness and complexity. A cheese that embodies tradition, innovation and respect for the terroir alike.
