Dairy farms: Chambave, Fénis, Nus, Quart, Saint-Marcel, Verrayes

The Lo Copafen farm is located in the municipality of Chambave, and nature and time have maintained a fundamental role in the production of cheese, the same as they did 100 years ago.
Today, the Perraillon family, by adopting a more technological and innovative process, has preserved the organoleptic characteristics of the cheese products of that time and, for some years now, has also been producing cured meats. A large number of the cheeses are matured at high altitude and rest in a cellar that can store up to 2,000 wheels.
The farm produces Fontina, butter, goats cheese and Toma, available for sale in the shop.
