The story of the Pochat & Fils family business is a story of family, passion and know-how.
Pochat & Fils, a company based in Haute-Savoie, specializes in the production, maturing and marketing of Savoie cheeses. Pochat & Fils is the leading producer of the most famous Savoyard AOP, Reblochon, and the largest refiner of farmhouse Reblochon, the historical pillar of the company.
It all started with this emblematic product from the Thônes and Aravis Valleys. Edouard Pochat, son of a breeder and farmer, indeed made Reblochons on the farm
family and sold them on the local market.
In 1919, he created Pochat & Fils, a maturing company for cheeses from farms in the Aravis massif, which he sold on regional markets.
In 1991, Pascal Pochat took over the company, renowned for its refiner know-how, developed it and gave the La Pointe Percée brand its notoriety. A colorful character, he has always favored his relationship with milk producers and the Provencia group.
Over time, Pochat & Fils supplemented its range of Savoyard cheeses by offering in particular Tomme de Savoie and Beaufort AOP and developed product innovation to meet the
new consumption patterns.
Since 2017, the cheese dairy has been offering 3 new products: Tomme de montagne with cumin, Tomme de montagne with wild garlic and Raclette with wild garlic.
Pochat & Fils, throughout its development, has always kept its roots and its Savoyard soul and continued its activity in the respect of traditions.
In 2019, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary: 100 years of Savoyard cheeses, quality, transmission know-how and passion!
Refiner know-how passed down from generation to generation.
Ripening requires special attention, in order to develop each cheese towards the desired taste and appearance.
The rind takes time to form and the cheese gradually incorporates the aromas specific to the cellar. The affineur then selects the mature cheeses. These cheesemaking skills are essential to maintaining the quality of Savoie cheeses.
Pochat & Fils invests in this transmission of knowledge. Each site specializes in the production of one or two Savoie PGI and/or AOP cheeses, and has been able to adapt to the needs required by each of these cheeses.
