Bleu de Gex, Picodon, Rigotte de Condrieu, Fourme de Montbrison and Bleu du Vercors-Sassenage are just some of delicious varieties of cheese that are certainly worth to try.
Local cheese is widely used by chefs to cook national branded treats. One of the simplest examples of cheese dish is a Savoyard sandwich, tartine savoyarde. Besides flavored cheese, it consists of prunes and smoked brisket; sandwich turns to be incredibly tasty and hearty.
