An award-winning French cheesemonger, he has a highly unique professional background. Originally from Versailles, he spent 15 years working as a nurse. In 2023, following a period of severe work-related stress, he decided to completely change his life and care for people in a different way—through food and cheese.
Following his passion for gastronomy, he began working at the renowned cheese shop Le Bois d’Amalthée in Brive-la-Gaillarde, located in the picturesque Dordogne Valley.
Under the guidance of his mentor Antoine, the shop’s owner, Matthieu demonstrated extraordinary skill, quickly rising to the highest ranks of the cheese world.
In 2025, he first secured the silver medal at the Coupe de France des Fromagers, followed by the title of World Cheesemonger Runner-Up at the prestigious Mondial du Fromage in Tours.
