Les Frères Marchand

Les Freres Marchand is a family business of four brothers from Nancy, in Eastern France, representing the 6th generation of a cheese company that started in 1880, when their great-great-grandmother settled her first stand on the newly built city market. She was selling the products of local farms (50 km around Nancy).

Today, Les Freres Marchand have several cheese shops in France and export worldwide their selection of more than 300 matured cheeses. Thanks to the know-how passed on from generation to generation, Les Freres Marchand has become a reference in aging and ripening cheeses, offering the perfect maturity of selected cheeses from France, Switzerland, Holland, Germany & Italy.

The cheeses are exclusively sourced from a network of small 200 producers who are passionate about their profession and whom the brothers know closely. The culture of cheese is a heritage that Les Frères Marchand helps to safeguard. Their wish is to expand the French terroir through cheeses steeped in history, typicality, and tradition.

Innovation is therefore at the heart of what Les Frères Marchand are doing. They won the Guinness Book World Record for “Largest Cheese Platter” in September 2016 in Nancy France, by presenting 730 kinds of raw milk cheeses produced mainly by small producers.
