Fromagerie P. Jacquin & Fils is a family company founded in 1947 and based in La Vernelle, in the Indre department of central France, where the Touraine, Berry, and Sologne regions meet. The family is now in its fourth generation of cheesemaking. Valençay itself is a goat's milk cheese shaped like a truncated pyramid with an ash-dusted rind. Legend says the flat top came from Napoleon, who, on his way home from Egypt, was so angered by a pyramid-shaped cheese that he sliced off its peak with his sword. The cheese earned AOC status in 1998 and AOP status in 2014. Chabris, the name on your label, is one of the villages inside the Valençay production zone. Jacquin's version is made using the same techniques as the PDO Valencay, including ladle molding and hand salting.
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.
Carefully packaged and shipped from our Beverly Hills shop.
