Vingt Dieux

In the heart of the Jura region, an extraordinary journey unfolds as 18-year-old Totone embarks on a quest to create the best Comté cheese in the region. Facing the harsh realities of adulthood - providing for his 7-year-old sister's needs and securing a livelihood - he decides to focus on honing a skill that promises success: cheese making. The Comté cheese, a prized product of the Jura, is renowned worldwide for its rich flavor and high quality. Totone aims to produce the cream of the crop, hoping it will bring him not only recognition but also a substantial financial reward, as demonstrated by previous winners who took home gold medals in agricultural competitions and received 30,000 euros in prize money. The road ahead is long and challenging, filled with late-night cheese tastings, tireless research, and painstaking attention to detail. Despite his youth and the distractions of his social life, Totone remains steadfast in his pursuit, driven by the desire to provide a better future for his sister. This event marks a pivotal moment in his journey, as he shares his passion for Comté cheese with the world and competes against other talented artisans, all vying for the coveted title of best Comté cheese maker in the region.
