Fromagerie Racines
A collaborative fromagerie project by four friends offering exceptional raw milk cheeses, French charcuterie, and gourmet baguette sandwiches in the heart of the 18th arrondissement.
Fromagerie Racines: Artisanal Cheese and Charcuterie Behind the 18th Arrondissement Town Hall
Fromagerie Racines centers its offerings around two pillars of French gastronomy: artisanal cheese and traditional charcuterie. The fromagerie's commitment to quality is evident in their focus on raw milk cheeses (fromages au lait cru), which preserve the authentic flavors and characteristics of traditional French cheesemaking. These unpasteurized cheeses offer more complex, nuanced flavors than their pasteurized counterparts, representing the kind of authentic products that serious cheese lovers seek out. The crown jewel of their cheese selection is the tomme de brebis des Pyrénées, a sheep's milk cheese that undergoes a distinctive aging process in a tunnel. This special maturation technique develops the cheese's flavor profile, creating depth and complexity that justify its premium price of 35 euros per kilogram. This signature cheese exemplifies the fromagerie's dedication to sourcing and presenting exceptional products that tell a story of terroir and craftsmanship. Complementing the cheese selection, Fromagerie Racines offers a carefully curated range of French charcuterie. These cured meats, selected for their quality and flavor, pair beautifully with the cheeses and provide customers with everything needed to create an authentic French cheese and charcuterie board. The fromagerie has cleverly adapted its premium products into accessible, everyday offerings through their 'dwichs—gourmet baguette sandwiches priced between 6 and 8 euros. These sandwiches transform their quality cheeses and charcuterie into convenient meals without compromising on taste or quality. The inclusion of vegetarian options demonstrates thoughtfulness and adaptability, ensuring that the fromagerie's offerings appeal to diverse dietary preferences while maintaining their commitment to quality ingredients. Whether you're selecting cheeses for a special occasion, picking up charcuterie for an apéritif, or grabbing a quick but delicious sandwich, Fromagerie Racines delivers products that honor French culinary traditions while serving the practical needs of modern Parisian life.
