Fromager
A fromager is a French term for a cheese maker or cheese seller. In France, fromagers are experts in the art of cheese, often working in specialized shops called fromageries. They select, age, and sell a variety of cheeses, providing customers with recommendations based on taste and texture.
Fromagers play a crucial role in the culinary world, especially in regions known for their cheese production, such as Normandy and Burgundy. They often have extensive knowledge about different cheese types, including Camembert, Roquefort, and Brie, and can guide customers in pairing cheeses with wines or other foods.
