A little history about Fromagerie Jean Faup 

In 1904, Jean Faup began producing Camembert in Oust, Pyrénées, aiming for export to French colonies. Three generations later, facing market decline, Jean III reinvented the local cheese, blending tradition with modernization to birth the post-war Pyrénées cheese. In 1977, Didier Lemasson took over, returning to traditional methods and revitalizing Bethmale cheese. Didier's innovations included a mixed milk tomme in 1984 and a pure goat milk tome in 1988. Today, led by Didier and Virginie, Fromagerie Jean Faup preserves tradition, fosters sustainability, and crafts exceptional cheeses.
