Traditional skills

For centuries, Franche Comté has been famed for its agricultural, culinary and textile skills. These skills were passed down from generation to generation and today allow us to enjoy high-quality products such as yellow wine and other Jura wines, Comté and other cheeses, Morteau sausages and other smoked pork meats from the Haut-Doubs area, all of which are appreciated around the world. This explains the region’s attachment to its skills and expertise acquired through centuries of work and experimentation. Some people are even working to rediscover skills that have been lost over the course of time.
