Guilloteau FROMAGER D'AFFINOIS FR-542 Le Petit Fromager | 8x5.29oz | $33.49/CS FR-367 Truffles | 2x4.4lb | $119.59/CS FR-372 Garlic & Herb | 2x4.4lb | $85.29/CS FR-373 Plain | 2x4.41lb | $80.89/CS FR-552 Brebis (Rocastin) | 1x2.2lb | $11.29/LB FR-515 Chevre (Florette) | 1x2.21lb | $12.19/LB FR-950 Excellence | 1x4.4lb | $44.89/CS

The story of Fromagerie Guilloteau begins nearly 14 years before the now-famous cheese company’s formation by a French cheese producer named Jean-Claude Guilloteau. Through a key encounter between Guilloteau and scientists for the French National Institute for Agricultural Research (INRA), the creation of the special industrial process called ultrafiltration was developed and successfully patented in 1969. Guilloteau then went on to start his own company, Fromagerie Guilloteau in 1981 with a focus on producing an expanding line of top-quality cheeses made exclusively with the ultrafiltration process. Ultrafiltration is a special industrial process in which milk is filtered through a sieve to partially eliminate small molecules such as water, lactose and mineral salts. The mineral salts that are maintained during this process make Fromager d’Affinois (and all Guilloteau cheeses) two to four times richer in calcium than a Brie or Camembert cheese.

FR-952 Campagnier Washed Rind | 2x4.4lb | $84.39/CS SAINT ANGEL FR-889 St. Angel Triple Creme Red Label | 2x1.7lb | $10.19/LB BUCHE DU VIVAROIS FR-954 Bucheron Goat Log Du Vivarois | 1x2lb | $20.89/CS Buche du Vivarois has an ivory-colored paste surrounded by a bloomy white rind. The interior is chalky and dense, but it is met with a thin layer of creamy cheese just below the rind that creates a sense of balance. The flavor is mildly goat-y when it is young, and develops a sharper and more goat-like flavor as it ages.

The Fromager d’Affinois line of cheeses offer silky, smooth, mouth-coating creaminess and a decadently rich, buttery taste. Made with pasteurized cows’ milk and available in a variety of flavors using only the freshest ingredients, there is a d’Affinois for everyone to adore. At just five inches square, Saint Angel is a cows’ milk triple cream cheese with incredibly smooth texture and big, buttery flavors that will not go unnoticed. For those craving an even creamier bite, Saint Angel cheeses are the perfect match. With delicate, white bloomy rinds and base flavors of sweet cream and mild mushrooms, each delights with every bite, and becomes even more rich and robust with age.

"Fromager d'Affinois cheeses have been made by Fromagerie Guilloteau for 40 years”. APRIL 2022 | 23
