Every morning, our drivers set off along the country lanes of Haute-Saône with a single goal in mind: to collect milk from our nearly 100 member farms. This ritual marks the start of a daily adventure, a real race against time to collect the milk as soon as possible after milking. The fruit of the labour and expertise of each partner producer, the 55 million litres of milk collected each year are then transformed into cheese in one of our three workshops.
Respect for products,
people and traditions
Behind the production of our cheeses lies a commitment to upholding a model of mutual support, sharing and solidarity. As such, all our producers are members of the cooperative. They are the decision-makers and the true guardians of local expertise.
Ethics and fair prices
Since its inception, Pâturages Comtois has worked hand in hand with local dairy farmers who are meticulous and committed to quality. The price of milk is set according to its fat and protein content. It may therefore vary slightly from one farm to another. In 2024, the average price of milk was €0.48 per litre.
The Board of Directors, comprising around twenty representatives from among the member dairy farmers, decides the price of milk in consultation with the management team. The price of milk is thus set in the interests of both the producers and the cooperative.
Did you know?
Every cheese has its own specific requirements regarding the breed of cow, geographical area, cattle feed, milk storage and so on. It is these specifications that guide the driver on his daily round.
