jasseriecommon nounSyllable DecompositionjasserieEtymologyexpandDefinition1. Name given to the mountain pastures and shelters of the Monts du Forez, both on the eastern side (Loire department, former Province of Forez) and the western side (Puy-de-Dôme department, former province of Auvergne). The jasserie is notably the traditional place for the production of fourme (formerly called Roche cheese, after a commune on the eastern slope). The term buron, sometimes used on the western side, seems to have been imported by the authors of the State-Major maps, by analogy with the Cantal.expandPluraljasseries
