In the residential Cap de Croix quarter towards Cimiez, Fromagerie Cap de Croix at 64 avenue Cap-de-Croix is the reference address for Nice's northern residents who refuse to compromise on quality. Its owner offers a careful selection of affineur artisan cheeses — working with prestigious partners she proudly names: Maison Bordier (artisan butter-maker and affineur since 1985, national reference) and Ferme Mesnilait.
This partnership with such exacting houses says much about the fromagerie's level. Maison Bordier only works with professionals who share its quality standards.
The owner selects seasonally — cooked or uncooked pressed pastes in winter, soft bloomy-rind cheeses in spring, fresh cheeses and goat's cheeses in summer. Each season brings new references, building loyalty in customers who return regularly.
Fromagerie Cap de Croix offers a bespoke cheese caterer service: boards for aperitifs, corporate meals, weddings and private receptions. Gourmet hampers (cheeses + regional products + spirits) available for gifting. Home delivery available across Nice and surroundings.
Cheeses by cut from €3/100g. Bespoke boards on request. Gourmet hampers from €35.
Highlights: Cap de Croix and Cimiez residents cite this fromagerie as the essential address — a human-scaled boutique with impeccable selection and a highly competent owner. The caterer service is described as excellent. The Maison Bordier collaboration is regularly mentioned as a quality guarantee.
Areas for improvement: Address is off-centre for seafront visitors. Hours may be restricted — prior verification advised.
Overall: Fromagerie Cap de Croix is Nice's finest northern address — an exceptional boutique in a residential quarter, carried by a prestigious partnership with Maison Bordier.
