- This cheese owes its name to a small village in Yonne
- The Soumaintrain also benefits from a well-established reputation. In ‘La bonne Ménagère Agricole’, a publication on agricultural practices first appearing in 1889, the Soumaintrain is described as “the best cheese in the country”
Whole cow’s milk, a hand rub with brine and its affinage process give this cheese its particular character.
