Raw milk processing

The raw milk produced by the Louis d'Or farm is transformed using industrial means into Bleu d'Élizabeth at the Fromagerie du Presbytère, an agricultural dairy processing tool installed in a former presbytery. The process implemented is inspired by well-known French cheeses such as Fourme d'Ambert, Bleu d'Auvergne, etc. However, raw milk undergoes thermization. Refining is 60 days.
