The Seignemartin cheese dairy was created in 1930 and was based in Moulin de Charix, a commune near Nantua until 2010, when it moved into larger more modern facilities.  This 3rd generation owned family creamery is dedicated to producing AOP (protected designation of origin) comte in the Jura region of France, where the cool and wet climate is optimal for raising the Montbéliardes cow, a variety known for producing some of the world's finest milk.
