Project summary:

The cheese cooperative BERGERS DU LARZAC was founded in 1996, allowing 20 local producers to come together to create a range of strong sheep milk cheeses. Between 2014 and 2016, the cooperative showed a steady positive increase in financial results as demand has kept growing. This resulted in the need to extend the cooperative’s facilities and improve its working conditions.
