As Francis Blanche once said, “The asparagus is the leek of the rich.” It’s also a delicacy and an appetizing source of vitamins not to be missed! So much so that even those who hate asparagus will admit it’s delicious!

This fondue is made using cheeses crafted by Fromagerie de l’Isle and the Triplette Belgian-style triple beer from the Tadoussac microbrewery.
It offers beautifully balanced aromas: citrus, delicate pepper and hints of nuts and toast. It goes wonderfully with a wide range of dipper options, including both matching and contrasting flavours.
