Fromageries Arnaud is a prestigious family-owned French dairy company established in 1907, specializing in the production and maturation of premium raw milk cheeses from the Jura massif. The company is renowned for its exceptional AOP/PDO Comté, Morbier, Mont d'Or, and Bleu de Gex Haut-Jura cheeses. Operating under the JURAFLORE brand, Fromageries Arnaud has built its reputation on the remarkable quality of its extra-matured Comtés, with ancestral know-how passed down through three generations and currently led by CEO Jean-Charles Arnaud.

This unique location houses 140,000 Comté wheels maturing for 12 to 36 months in perfect natural conditions. With over 50,000 square meters of vaulted rooms and kilometers of underground galleries, the fortress provides optimal aging conditions with stable climate and natural air circulation. Fromageries Arnaud works with 30 fruitière partners and 400 milk farmers, producing over 8,000 tons of Comté annually, making it a key reference in the Comté sector. The company is distinguished as the most awarded French company by the Paris Concours Général Agricole since its creation, receiving Gold medals for nine consecutive years through 2020. Their cheeses are characterized by exceptional aromatic complexity, featuring fruity and roasted blends with notes of roasted almonds, melted butter, spices, and citrus fruits.
