France Beyond the Hexagon

French cheese culture extends far beyond metropolitan France, reaching tropical islands and distant territories where creative adaptations and bold innovations flourish. From the Caribbean warmth of Martinique to the Pacific breezes of New Caledonia, French overseas territories have developed unique cheese traditions that blend French techniques with local ingredients and influences. Meanwhile, across all of France, a new generation of cheesemakers pushes boundaries with sustainable practices, inclusive approaches, and creative fusion.
