Located at an altitude of 900 metres, in the heart of the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Nature Park, the Grange de la Haute Vallée farm is nestled in a place called Pignou. On a fifty-hectare site, this family farm produces three PDO cheeses (Salers, Cantal, Bleu d’Auvergne), typical of the region, two types of farmhouse cheeses (Pignou, Saint-Thimothée) and plain whole milk yoghurt. Traditional Auvergne know-how is present at every stage of production, even if the specific methods for each cheese (curdling, maturing time) are strictly observed.
