The milk is used to make extraordinary cheese on the farm. No milk is shipped off the farm. The cheese is featured in their remarkable restaurant (reservations required). If the weather is nice, be sure to eat at one of the out door tables. They also sell knitwear, honey, as well as various types of their cheese. The farm is about 3 miles out of Cogne and 1 mile out of Valnontey, up a gorgeous alpine valley. A visit will be highly rewarding.
Located up the enchanting valley from Valnontey, this authentic, multigenerational family dairy farm is run by a father and two daughters. The father is the herdsman, one daughter is the cheesemaker and the other the cook. They make cheeses traditional to this area; you may visit just to buy cheese or also to have lunch at their wonderful restaurant. Everything served is of the place , stunning boards of cheeses and salumi, polenta, ricotta gnocchi, vegetable torte with fondue, everything served with vivid small touches a spoonful of carrot/pepper marmalade on the cheese board, chestnuts in honey on the salumi board. It was all delicious. We didn 't try the desserts, but hope to go back just for that another day. You may eat inside the charming small restaurant, or outside at wooden tables overlooking the farm and the valley. We stumbled on this farm while walking the valley, and have now been back twice. The word authentic is overused, but this place is the real deal.
Great lunch, with very kind staff, plentiful dishes, special location and adequate prices. recommended not only the restaurant, but also a goto for their cheeses!
The restaurant is located in the middle of the forest, you eat on tables and benches in a simple and spartan way. the menu varies depending on the time and is told by the waiters. dishes belong to the local tradition, the products of the company are therefore very careful with milk, cheese and derivatives. are also found less popular dairy products such as brossa and phenolic flower. the quality of food is good, the adequate quantities. the service is objectively slow due to the reduced size of the kitchen and the shift of the tables for which the waiters must move smoothly between tables, trunks and sinks. you must be patient to enjoy the experience outside the city. not particularly cheap prices but the quality of food is good. a bit annoying not to have a written menu and discover the prices of the dishes at the time of the account, to pay strictly in cash because there is no ATM.
