Margot Fromages is a Swiss family-owned company specializing in the selection, maturation, and distribution of traditional Swiss cheeses. The company was founded in 1886 by Jules Margot in the Jura region and is now based in Yverdon-les-Bains, where it continues to operate under the Margot family.

From the beginning, the company focused on refining Gruyère AOP, gradually building expertise in cheese maturation, known as affinage, a process that involves carefully aging cheeses under controlled conditions to develop their texture and flavor. Over time, Margot Fromages became widely recognized for its skill in selecting and refining high-quality wheels of cheese produced by partner dairies. Today, the company works with a range of traditional Swiss cheeses, including Gruyère AOP, Emmentaler AOP, Vacherin Fribourgeois AOP, Sbrinz AOP, and Appenzeller.

Margot Fromages does not produce cheese itself; instead, it collaborates closely with dairies and farmers, selecting cheeses that are then matured in specialized cellars until they reach the desired level of ripeness. During this process the cheeses are regularly turned, brushed, and monitored to ensure proper development.

The company refines and distributes several thousand tons of cheese each year, supplying both the Swiss market and international export channels. Thanks to more than a century of experience in affinage and cheese trading, Margot Fromages has established a reputation as a respected Swiss cheese refiner and exporter, contributing to the global recognition of traditional Swiss cheeses.
