Lanaudi\u00e8re<\/strong>: Le Chevronn\u00e9 by La Suisse Normande<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le Chevronn\u00e9, a cheese in the style of tomme vaudoise, is made near St-Roch-de-l\u2019Achigan using pasteurized goat\u2019s milk<\/strong>. What sets it apart is its soft texture and delicate bloomy rind<\/strong>. This farmhouse cheese, akin to the Pizy, stands out with its pristine white paste, gently adorned with a fine fuzz. Its goaty aromas are fresh and nuanced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saguenay\u2013Lac-Saint-Jean:<\/strong> Pikauba by Fromagerie Lehmann<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Pikauba, a farm cheese from Saguenay\u2013Lac-Saint-Jean, distinguishes itself not only for its artisanal craftsmanship but also for its semi-firm texture and delicate orange rind. Aged for three to four months, it unveils buttery flavours and fruity aromas<\/strong>. Produced in H\u00e9bertville using unpasteurized cow\u2019s milk, it boasts a semi-firm pressed texture and a washed rind. Its name finds inspiration from a river in the R\u00e9serve faunique des Laurentides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaudi\u00e8re-Appalaches : <\/strong>Riopelle de l\u2019Isle Fromagerie de l\u2019Isle<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Riopelle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Riopelle de l\u2019Isle, a masterpiece from Fromagerie de l\u2019Isle, stands as Quebec\u2019s pioneering triple-cream artisanal cheese. Beneath its velvety, whitish rind, a soft paste reveals rich notes of butter and fresh mushroom, accentuated by a hint of vegetal and salty tones. Its texture is exquisitely creamy, occasionally delicately oozing on the palate<\/strong>. Crafted from unpasteurized cow\u2019s milk, this bloomy rind cheese pays tribute to the renowned painter Jean-Paul Riopelle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charlevoix : <\/strong>Hercule de Charlevoix by Laiterie Charlevoix<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Hercule de Charlevoix, the pride of Laiterie Charlevoix in Baie-Saint-Paul, stands as an iconic artisanal cheese. Its coppery-pink rind and firm, cooked paste, which develops a slight granular texture with aging, render it a true marvel. Its rich aromas of butter and terroir intertwine with nuances of nuts and grains, culminating in a fruity finish.<\/strong> Inspired by the moniker bestowed upon Jean-Baptiste Grenon, this cheese embodies the legendary strength of Hercules. Crafted with thermized milk, this cheese matures for 6 to 18 months, delivering a rich and balanced flavour profile, devoid of bitterness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie: Le Pont Blanc by Fromagerie Au Gr\u00e9 des Champs<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le Pont-Blanc takes its name from the Gouin Bridge, an iconic landmark of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. This artisanal farmstead cheese, ladled into a molds, captivates with its delicate texture and velvety smooth paste, derived from the raw milk of brown Swiss cows from the herd at Fromagerie Au Gr\u00e9 des Champs. Offering a distinctive tasting journey, this soft cheese reflects the influence of the seasons and the sunny climate of southern Quebec<\/strong>. Distinguished by its lightly bloomy rind, Le Pont-Blanc holds the distinction of being one of Canada\u2019s earliest cheeses made from raw milk and aged for less than 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laurentides: Le Fleuron by Fromagiers de la Table Ronde<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Le Fleuron, crafted by Fromagiers de la Table Ronde in Sainte-Sophie, is a semi-firm blue-veined cheese made from organic pasteurized milk. Accentuated with a natural rind featuring white and gray flora, it exudes a rustic charm. Its intricate aromas bring to mind fresh herbs, mushrooms, and moist wood, enhanced by a delicate farmyard essence.<\/strong> Introduced in 2007, this cheese boasts a robust flavour profile with distinct vegetal notes, complemented by a supple, slightly grainy texture that melts in the mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
