Product Information
Where do you source your products?
We would not dream of providing anything else but the best and original taste of our cheeses. This is why we have designed a system that enables us to bring you products the most direct way from the producer to your home. Our goal is simple: make it taste as good as it would if you were there!
Side note: we indicate the country of origin in the product profile.
How do you ensure that all products arrive at peak freshness?
From production to shipment, we don’t joke around on keeping the freshness of your products until their arrival at your house. Here are some quick notes to keep in mind:
- Orders are only fulfilled Monday - Thursday to ensure prompt delivery.
- Your shipment will be delivered in a refrigerated box within 24hrs to 48hrs of placing your order.
- We strongly recommend planning to retrieve your package within 1-2 of hours of delivery to ensure all products remain properly refrigerated.
How can I see the list of products you offer?
Looking for a small teaser before deciding on which basket size to order I see. You can simply go to our footer and clikc on the section called "Browse our collection". There you'll see all of our nifty product selection.
What happens if one of my products is no longer available at the time of ordering?
If you purchased a product that is out of stock, we will contact you directly with a few options: (1) Swap it for another item (via Jean-Fromage's recommendation), (2) Ship you the item when it gets back in stock or (3) Receive a refund.
Why are only some of your products pasteurized?
Unique-ness is why. Each cheese is produced with its own method following the crafts of its region of origin. It’s part of what makes cheese so fascinating.
On a more practical note, current U.S. guidelines require that any imported cheese aged less than 60 days be crafted with pasteurized milk. However, many cheeses aged beyond this point continue to be crafted with unpasteurized (or “raw”) milk, due to the flavorful qualities contributed by live bacteria in the aging process.
Are all your products Kosher?
Not aaaaalll of them. But those which are will have the label on their product page. Can’t find them? Ask Jean-Fromage to guide you to the appropriate products.
How should I store your products?
In the refrigerator between 32-41° F, as simple as that. As for once its opened, simply keep it a close wrapping option – box, ziplock, cling wrap – and still in the fridge
Can the products be frozen?
Cheese: Oui! Non!
Does your products contains any known allergens?
Since all cheeses are made of milk (weather cow, goat, sheep or a mixture of multiple milks), the answer is: Yes, we know at least one allergen. If you are wondering about other allergens, Jean-Fromage will be happy to get the information for you.
Do you have any lactose free products?
Unfortunately not. Cheese is made of milk aka lactose component. That said, some cheese with longer aging lose most of their lactose quantity, to a point where there is – almost – no lactose left. And on top of that, our products are made with a variety of milks - cow, goat, sheep or a mixture of the three - and some people find they can tolerate one type of milk better than the others.
What is PDO?
Great question! “Protected Designation of Origin” is what it stands for. This label is a marker of quality and experience, guaranteeing that any PDO cheese is crafted with traditional methods of production in a specific region of origin.
Are your products vegetarian-friendly?
All of our products are crafted using milk, so they are safe for consumption by ovo-lacto vegetarians. If you have any questions about the ingredients or production methods for a specific cheese, feel free to send Jean-Fromage a message!
Do you add live cultures to your products?
Oui. Some of our products do contain added culture as it a normal element of a quality cheese making process. These active lactic bacteria are traditionally used in dairy products to highlight their flavor and texture. Jean-Fromage will be happy to help if you are looking for more specific information!
Are your products made with milk that contains RBST?
Non! All of the milk we collect and use in our production is RBST free, for two reasons: In Europe, this is forbidden so no chance that our products coming from there we’ll have some. And in the USA, we made the choice to only use RBST free milk. Feel free to write to Jean-Fromage for any other questions you may have.
How do you treat the animals that supply the milk?
