The industry and local breeds project

The local Abondance and Tarentaise breeds are historically present in the Savoie region and are linked to the PDO-IGP cheese chains. Today, it is essential to improve communication between breeds and the cheese industry, in order to reconcile the evolution of breeds with the needs of different users (breeders...), cheese makers...). By 2022, OS RAR, CAP Tarentaise, AFTALP, ILS, CERAQ and AURIVA have decided to implement the "Local breeds and the Savoie PDO-IGP cheese industry" project, which will take place in 5 actions, until 2024.
