Fromagerie Quatrehomme du Rendez-Vous

At Fromagerie Quatrehomme du Rendez-Vous, the "menu" is a living, breathing celebration of French cheese-making that changes with the seasons and reflects the natural cycles of production across France's diverse regions. The selection spans 200 to 250 varieties at any given time, representing the full spectrum of French cheese traditions—from the fresh, delicate chèvres of the Loire Valley to the powerful, complex blues of Auvergne, from the creamy, bloomy-rind Bries and Camemberts of Île-de-France to the firm, nutty mountain cheeses of the Alps and Jura. What distinguishes Quatrehomme's selection is the rigorous curation behind it. Each cheese is sourced directly from quality local producers who maintain traditional methods and respect their terroir. This means you'll find farmhouse cheeses made from raw milk, aged in natural caves, and crafted by artisans who have perfected their techniques over generations. The fromagerie's expertise lies not just in selecting these cheeses, but in aging and caring for them in their own cellars to ensure each one reaches you at its optimal moment of ripeness. The seasonal nature of the selection means that what you find in spring—when fresh goat cheeses are at their peak—will differ from the robust, aged varieties that shine in winter. This rotation keeps the offering dynamic and ensures that you're always experiencing cheeses at their best. The staff's deep knowledge allows them to guide you through this ever-changing landscape, explaining the characteristics of each cheese, its production method, and ideal pairings. Beyond individual cheese sales, Quatrehomme excels in creating bespoke cheese platters that showcase the diversity and quality of their selection. These platters are thoughtfully composed to offer a balanced tasting experience, considering texture, intensity, milk type, and regional diversity. Whether you're planning an intimate dinner or a large celebration, the fromagerie can craft a selection that tells a delicious story of French cheese-making tradition.
