Reny Picot: Crafting Award-Winning Brie, Camembert, and Triple Crème in Michigan’s Wine Country Since 1987
Nestled between the pristine waters of Lake Michigan and the rolling hills of Michigan’s wine country, Reny Picot produces some of the world’s most celebrated cheeses, including our rich brie, creamy camembert, and velvety triple crème. With a commitment to excellence, we have been creating award-winning specialty cheeses since 1987, proudly representing Michigan’s agricultural heritage.
Our dedication to quality starts with the source: we source our fresh milk and cream exclusively from local Michigan dairies, supporting our community and practicing a sustainable approach that ensures the freshest ingredients in every wheel of cheese. By focusing on maintaining these close relationships with local farms, we ensure the highest standards of dairy products that reflect the values of the region.
In 2023, we sharpened our focus on perfecting the art of producing soft-ripened Brie and Camembert, carefully refining the methods that have helped us craft these timeless classics.
Our attention to detail and dedication to quality have been recognized with hundreds of prestigious awards from the dairy and cheese industries, including recent honors at the World Championship Cheese Contest and American Cheese Society. These accolades stand as a testament to our ongoing pursuit of excellence and our commitment to crafting cheeses that consistently exceed expectations.
While our production facility is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, we remain dedicated to the craftsmanship that makes our cheeses special. We blend modern technology with the traditional techniques passed down through generations, ensuring that each cheese maintains the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and quality. This allows us to provide a product that is enjoyed by consumers and chefs alike, whether it’s served in restaurants or enjoyed at home.
Reny Picot is a proud part of I.L.A.S., S.A., a company with deep roots in Old European cheesemaking traditions. This heritage, combined with our modern techniques, allows us to bring the best of both worlds to every cheese we create, delivering a taste experience that honors both the past and the future of cheese making.
