The Creamery
Rians
It all began in 1901 in the village of Rians, in central France. Ever since, we have been committed to carrying on our family heritage in the service of taste.
A meaningful family story
Our story begins in 1901 on a small farm in Rians, a village located in central France. It is here that Désiré and Francine Triballat refine their cheese, respecting dairy tradition.
It is also here that the passing on of their know-how, now carried on today by the 4th and the 5th generations.
A committed approach
Our company has been family-owned since 1901. The members of the Triballat family who have followed one another have always had a deep commitment to preserving what was passed on to them, while adapting to their time. Today more than ever, we are determined to move toward a more responsible and sustainable model.
Passing on traditional know-how and a passion for taste
We are committed to keeping traditional dairy know-how alive and showcasing the richness of French gastronomic heritage.
We pay particular attention to the quality and taste of our products. They are also regularly recognized at national and international competitions, such as our iconic Roulé Garlic & Fine Herbs, awarded the gold medal for 2025-2026 at the WORLD CHEESE AWARDS.
We are especially attentive to the quality of the ingredients in our recipes as well as using them in the right amounts. That’s why our Crème Brûlée is made only with cream, milk, eggs, sugar, and Bourbon vanilla! The fruit coulis in our Panna Cotta are made from fruit, sugar, and nothing else!
In 2020, we wrote an Ingredients Charter that guides the making of our recipes: it lists the ingredients we use and those for which we are seeking alternatives, while staying attentive to consumer expectations.
Since late 2022, 100% of the eggs used to make all our desserts come from cage-free farming. We are working toward our goal of using 100% free-range eggs by 2030.
We regularly offer our consumers new recipes or new flavours in the service of dairy heritage and indulgence! For example, we recently developed the Summer Truffle Roulé 1%.
Toward farming that is more sustainable and responsible
We work with independent dairy cow and goat farmers with whom mutual trust has been established over many years. In this spirit, we set out to build with them a more sustainable farming approach to ensure the long-term viability of the dairy sector.
We support our partner farmers in the ecological transition of their farms, notably through measuring the carbon footprint of their farms, and also by supporting hedge-planting projects.
We have been partners with CIWF (Compassion in World Farming) since 2020. We train partner farmers in ethological knowledge and in implementing enrichment on their farms (sound and light objects, scratching mats, etc.). We support farmers in their day-to-day work and help them as they get established.
Reducing our environmental footprint
Respecting the environment and reducing our use of natural resources are commitments we made long ago—and we continue to move forward on them. As such, we take concrete action to reduce our CO2 emissions, improve energy efficiency, decrease our water consumption, protect biodiversity, and eco-design our packaging.
Most of our product packaging is made in France. For many years, we have been reducing the weight of our plastic packaging; we incorporate recycled material into the packaging for our Roulé range and into the glass jars for our Crème Brûlée range; our cardboard packaging mainly comes from sustainably managed forests. We continuously seek to improve our practices for ever more responsible packaging, while respecting the quality and safety of our products.
