This dairy farm was founded in 2004 with the aim of streamlining the production and transformation of the milk of the Valley according to the methods of ancient cooperative dairies, where different farmers used to work together alternating in shifts. The Fromagerie Haut Val d’Ayas brings together 65 local farmers who contribute with their own milk and processes almost two million litres of milk a year, obtaining about 18,000 types of Fontina cheese.

Products

Fresh and mature dairy products, honey, jams, wines, juices, liqueurs, yoghurt ice cream, and baked goods made with yoghurt and butter from the Fromagerie.
The shop is open all year round, Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 12.30 pm and from 3.00 pm to 7.30 pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 8.00 am to 7.30 pm.

The farm is open to visitors all year round, subject to booking by email or telephone at least 3 days in advance.
