HISTORY

In 1969, Jacques and Jacqueline Delin (parents of Philippe, current President) founded Fromagerie Delin.

In the 1970s, the production of bottled fresh milk and fromage blanc was quickly supplemented by soft cheeses.

In 1980, the business increasingly focused on the production of cream-enriched cheeses, such as fresh and mature Brillat-Savarin.

In 1990, Philippe Delin took over the cheese dairy. Distribution was then regional (over 80%).

1996: Creation of Régal de Bourgogne with grapes, an innovative product that remains highly sought after by customers today. It is now distributed worldwide.

In the early 2000s, significant investments were made, enabling the company to expand into major export markets such as Canada and the USA.

In 2006, Philippe Delin bought the Chevillon cheese dairy in Haute-Marne.

In 2014, the new production building was built in the original commune at the entrance to Gilly-lès-Cîteaux: 4,000 m² of production space, an investment of €8,100,000.

Since 2017, trade with Canada and the USA has grown rapidly, and Brillat-Savarin is now shipped with innovative packaging: the individual cheese dome, allowing the cheese to mature during the sea voyage.

In 2019, the Montbéliard cheese dairy (25) joined the group.

2019 also marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Delin cheese dairy! During this anniversary celebrations, the cheese dairy launched a 100% Bourgogne Franche-Comté milk.

In 2020, the “Côte d’Or le fromage” was launched. Made in Nuits-Saint-Georges using exclusively Côte d’Or milk, it is certified “100% Côte d’Or expertise.”

In 2020, Truffignon, a raclette flavored with summer truffle (Tuber asetivum), was also launched at the Fromagerie de Montbéliard.

Finally, in 2020, the Nuits-Saint-Georges production site was IFS certified.

In 2021, Philippe Delin began construction of a new site for the Fromagers de Chevillon, tripling their production capacity.

In early 2022, France’s first departmental milk was created: Côte-d’Or milk. At the end of that same year, Haute-Marne milk was launched.

In 2023, Jura milk, Saine-et-Loire milk, and Doubs milk were launched. The UHT milk packaging line was built at the Gilly-lès-Cîteaux site, thanks in particular to the support of the FEADER.
