The Chabert family has been making cheese in Haute-Savoie since 1936, when Camille and Marcelle Chabert began at a small village dairy in the Albanais hills. Their son Gérard, a master cheesemaker, later moved the business to Vallières-sur-Fier, and today the third generation, Luc and Céline Chabert, runs the house, gathering milk through a network of mountain dairies across the Savoie. Vacherin is one of the region’s great winter cheeses, a soft, washed-rind round in the Mont d’Or tradition. Alpine cheesemakers traditionally made it in the cold months, when there wasn’t enough milk for the big wheels of summer, and banded it in wood to hold its shape as it ripened. Chabert’s full-size kilo wheel is made for sharing at the counter or the table. Under its supple, rippled rind, the paste ripens to a rich, spoonable cream, with buttery depth and gentle notes of mushroom and forest. Serve it at room temperature with crusty bread, boiled potatoes and Savoyard charcuterie, alongside a glass of crisp Savoie white. It’s a centerpiece of the Alpine winter table from one of the Savoie’s leading family cheesemakers.
Real reviews from The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills Google Business Profile. Curated by Dom and his team since 1967.
Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
Hand-cut to order the day it ships.
