Alsatian master cheese maker Bernard Antony received the coveted “Ordre National du Mérite” from French Agriculture Minister Michel Barnier last Autumn for his commitment to producing incredible cheese that has been sought after and served to famous gourmands for 35 years. Chefs of the stature of Alain Ducasse and Pierre Gagnaire to royalty of the likes of Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Rainier of Monaco to world leaders like former French President François Mitterrand, have traveled to the remote cheese shop in southern Alsace to sample the cheeses of Mr. Antony and his son Jean-Francois. These world leaders as well as food lovers from around the world travel to Mr. Antony’s shop, located a few miles from the towns of Mulhouse and Altkirch in southern Alsace, to buy cheese and if possible, participate in a cheese tasting that you need to experience to believe! The approximately US$50 price per person is well worth the experience.

Visitors to the Antonys’ fromagerie can also enjoy another cheese-lover’s essential: matching cheeses with wines. The Antonys have an extensive wine cellar and a comfortable tasting room, where clients and customers can just sample their wares or-on Friday and Saturday evenings and by reservation only-indulge in the Cérémonie des Fromages: a meal that includes six different families of cheese, with several varieties of each type, accompanied by the appropriate wines. The wine shop and restaurant offer more than 800 wine selections.
