La Plagne, Savoie, Unpasteurised Cow's Milk

Frontine is a name and a make/affinage process that been revised from research into Savoie's dialect and history. The milk comes from cows grazed in a particular alpine pasture called La Chiape. The farmer and maker has rebuilt a Chalet in the same location and grazes his herd between 0m and 2700m. This is therefore the highest altitude cheese in the Savoie and both 'alpage' and 'fermier'. Stunning.
