About Fromagerie Dubois-Boulay
Dubois-Boulay is a cheese aging house founded in 1896 in the hamlet of Chavignol, at the heart of the Sancerre appellation. Rather than producing cheese, the company works as an affineur — sourcing fresh Crottin de Chavignol from around 15 partner farms in the AOP zone and maturing them in on-site caves to develop distinct flavors and textures. Roughly 2 million crottins pass through the facility each year.

The word "crottin" does not refer to animal droppings, despite the common misconception. It comes from the old French "crot," meaning a hole or hollow — a reference to the small earthenware molds traditionally used to shape the cheese. The name stuck even after production methods evolved.
