expensive, average taste, arrived without refrigeration just after a weekend, huge polluting packaging
Translated reviews
Response from Maison Agour
Dear Madame Gruel,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we regret that your experience did not meet your expectations.

We would like to reassure you regarding the delivery of our fresh products during the summer period. We offer refrigerated delivery via Chronofresh. When this option is not selected, we add ice packs to the parcels shipped by DPD to help maintain a moderate temperature during transport, especially during the first 24 to 48 hours depending on external conditions.

We are also attentive to the impact of our packaging. We use the necessary amount to protect the products and preserve their quality during transport. Except for the ice packs, the elements of our packaging are recyclable.

We understand that the appreciation of taste and value for money is subjective.

If you have noticed a problem with preservation or quality upon receiving your order, we invite you to contact our customer service at [email protected] so that we can specifically address your situation.

Best regards,

Maison Agour Etxea

The products are very good but the delivery took too long, the cheeses had sweated a lot... too bad. Maybe consider shipping from Monday to Wednesday so that the cheeses don't spend their weekend in a warehouse that is too hot for them in the summer.

Response from Maison Agour
Mrs. Prugnard,

We are delighted that you appreciated the quality of our products, while regretting that the delivery did not meet your expectations.

Your comment regarding summer shipping is indeed relevant. High temperatures can indeed have an impact on transport conditions, despite the care taken in preparing our packages. Your suggestion regarding shipping days will be passed on to our teams and will inform our reflection to further improve our service.

For any issues related to your delivery, we invite you to contact our after-sales service at the address: [email protected]

We hope to have the pleasure of providing you with a fully satisfactory experience on your next order.

Best regards,

Response from Maison Agour
Sir,

We are sincerely sorry to learn that your cheeses arrived in this state.

In order for us to understand what happened and provide you with a solution, we invite you to contact our customer service at [email protected], specifying your order number and, if possible, attaching some photos of the package and the products received.

We also remind you that only shipments made via Chronofresh benefit from refrigerated transport throughout the journey, thus ensuring compliance with the cold chain.

Awaiting your response, we ask you to accept our sincere apologies for this inconvenience.

The products suffered from the heat because the delivery took too long. You should only offer express delivery.
Translated reviews
Response from Maison Agour
Mr. Demond,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sincerely sorry that your products suffered from the heat during delivery.

To meet our customers' expectations, we offer several shipping methods. Only Chronofresh delivery guarantees transport in refrigerated vehicles, ensuring the cold chain is maintained until delivery.

For shipments via DPD, we protect our products with coolers and insulated packaging to limit the effects of heat. However, the transport trucks are not refrigerated. That is why, especially during the summer period, we strongly recommend prioritizing Chronofresh, despite its additional cost, to ensure receipt under the best conditions.

Your comment is important and reminds us of the relevance of this delivery method for heat-sensitive products.

We look forward to fully satisfying you on your next order.

The cheese has a less pronounced sheep taste than I thought (although it is very good). I must say I am left wanting more, as I love cheeses like Beaufort d'alpage and Etivaz which is only from alpine pastures where the flora in its milk is more perceptible.
Translated reviews
Response from Maison Agour
Mr. Baralo,

Thank you for your feedback regarding our Ossau-Iraty AOP .

We understand that the sheep taste seemed less pronounced than you expected, despite your positive appreciation of the product.

The aromatic profile of our cheeses can indeed vary depending on the aging and characteristics of the milk, with more or less marked expressions. The alpine cheeses you mention offer different typicities, linked in particular to their environment and the richness of the flora.

We hope to have the pleasure of providing you with complete satisfaction during your next tasting.

Best regards,

Response from Maison Agour
Mr. Tardio,

Thank you for your feedback and we understand your expectation regarding a cheese with a more fruity profile.

We offer a range of artisanal cheeses with varied characteristics, some milder, others more typical or aged, to satisfy all palates. Your comment is valuable and helps us better guide our customers in their choices.

We are, however, pleased that the quality of our product has managed to satisfy you.

Once it leaves your place, you manage nothing. The delivery location was changed without my intervention, and it was no longer your responsibility according to you... Instead of going next to my house, I had to cross all of Marseille.
Translated reviews
Response from Maison Agour
Mr. Miras,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and we are sincerely sorry for the inconveniences encountered during the delivery.

Your chocolates are shipped via the DPD carrier to a relay point, with delivery generally made within one to two working days from Monday to Friday in mainland France (Saturday delivery is not guaranteed).

When the initially selected relay point is saturated or unavailable, the carrier can indeed redirect the package to another relay point located within a maximum radius of 20 km around the planned address. This decision unfortunately falls under their logistical organization, and this mention is clearly stated in our delivery conditions.

We fully understand the constraint this may have represented for you, especially considering the distance to be traveled, and we are sorry for that.

For any delivery-related difficulties, we invite you to contact our after-sales service, which is available and responsive, and makes every effort to resolve this type of situation as quickly as possible: [email protected]

Thank you for your understanding, and we remain at your disposal.

Best regards,

We are pleased to learn that you liked the cheese, but we are sorry that it did not fully meet your expectations, and especially to learn that it arrived in two pieces of uneven sizes.

Despite all the care taken in preparation and packaging, it can happen that a product suffers a shock during transport, or that a cut does not perfectly match the expected balance. We completely understand your disappointment.

Hello, I bought 3 pieces of cheese. Cow and sheep milk cheese, lacking body in aging. Disappointed, it's for children or beginners. Ossau Iraty AOP - Raw Milk. Generally disappointed, raw milk cheeses have more character. Ossau-Iraty AOP ⬆️ (Aging: Long aging) finally a cheese, with a bit more character and length in the mouth, next time I will try the old reserve. For me, a crucial indication is missing, which is the aging duration (the range between 4 and 17 months is far too broad) and the quality-price ratio is not there for the first two. Here is my subjective opinion, I admit it, but you asked me for it.
Translated reviews
Response from Maison Agour
Mr. Brillard,
Thank you for your detailed and constructive feedback on our cheeses.
Aging is the maturation period during which the cheese develops its aromas, texture, and personality. At Agour, this artisanal step takes place in our wooden aging rooms, between 4 and 18 months, depending on the desired character: the majority of our cheeses are aged for 6 months, some for 12 months, and the most typical up to 18 months, for more intense and complex flavors.
We understand your expectations regarding the precision of these durations and are working to make them more visible to best accompany each tasting.
For any questions or additional requests, our after-sales service is at your disposal at: [email protected]
Thank you again for your trust and your passion for good cheeses!

I ordered 3 cheeses: 2 sheep and 1 cow - It was hot when I picked up my package which was well preserved at the relay. When I opened it, the vacuum packaging was not airtight (failed pressure) and the cheeses were oozing a lot... The Ossau-Iraty, which is a hard cheese, was completely soft. I put everything in the fridge as soon as I got home, but I admit that the cow's milk cheese had a lot of trouble regaining consistency.

Response from Maison Agour
Thank you for your feedback.
Regarding the swollen bags, don't worry: it's completely normal. It's related to our packaging method for the sausages, which leaves a small volume of air to avoid crushing the product and to preserve its quality. We sincerely apologize for the close expiration dates.
As a gesture of goodwill, we offer you a €5 voucher valid on your next order.

Indeed, we encountered a problem with the Tommette 3 milks and did not anticipate the stock outage in time.
