Jagota & Beillevaire Bring Artisanal Cheese Culture to Bangkok with an Elegant Cheese & Wine Night at Le Bouchon

Jagota Brothers Trading Co., Ltd. recently teamed up with renowned French fromagerie Beillevaire and the iconic Le Bouchon Bangkok for a special evening of “Beillevaire Cheese & Wine Pairing.” The goal? To introduce Bangkok’s food lovers to the rich world of traditional French cheese made with raw milk and heritage techniques.

Founded in the 1980s by Pascal Beillevaire in the Marais Breton Vendéen region of France, Beillevaire is all about authenticity—from dairy farm to cheeseboard. Today, the brand operates 10 production sites across France, crafting a wide variety of cheeses from raw milk, using traditional methods. Signature offerings include Brie de Meaux, Camembert de Normandie, Chabichou du Poitou, and more creative takes like truffle camembert or brie with pistachios.

At the event, guests were guided through a curated tasting of these cheeses—each paired with wines selected to highlight their unique characteristics.

Pascal Beillevaire, whose journey began on his family’s farm selling milk and cream at local markets, shared his passion for raw milk cheeses. “Unpasteurized cheeses hold onto the true character of the milk,” he explained. “They’re more expressive, more authentic—it’s the soul of the cheese.”
