Finest french cheeses sourced from over 80 producers in France
The story of Mons starts in the early 60s when Hervé’s father, Hubert Mons, began to source artisanal cheeses from his native region of Auvergne and with his wife Rolande, sold them at local markets. In the early 90s, Hervé’s passion for travel led him to start exporting his cheeses, first over Europe and then across the world. Hervé made the most of his “sourcing” ability to collect top-of-the-line cheeses. In 2000, Hervé won the title of «Meilleur Ouvrier de France», a French award given to the best craftsmen in their field. Now Maison Mons is a point of reference in the sourcing and aging of the best cheeses from over 80 producers in France. Mons owns an old railway tunnel that was renovated into affinage caves, where tradition and modernity serve the cheese. It is in this unique place that most of Mons hard cheeses are matured.
