Fromagerie Lincet have been making cheese for six generations and are dedicated to the production of traditional Burgondian and other regional cheeses. Their recipes are unchanged since 1895 and the dairy farms who provide the milk they use have been with the fromagerie for over 50 years. There are now 61 local farmers who bring their cow’s milk to the dairy to make a range of enriched cheeses.
Delice de Bourgogne was first created in the 1975 and was named after Jean Anthelme Brillat Savarin, who was a renowned eighteenth-century gourmet. Brillat Savarin gained IGP status in early 2017.
