“Wow, who would believe that just next to the border, away from main roads there is a beautiful cheese store offering unique and delicious cheeses produced right there. Thanks to the American Yelpers who actually wrote reviews about it, as I discovered its existence using Yelp rather then using the colourful local tourist maps. I may have been ignorant that Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser exists, but this is not the case for the rest of the Quebec population.

The store although very spacious was crowded. People kept coming and buying kilograms of cheeses. Yet service was fast and efficient. The speciality of the fromagerie is raclette, but they also have varieties of other cheeses. Some of the cheeses are available on the counter for tasting. We were also offered to try the cheeses we were interested in, which we ended up buying of course. Prices are competitive. I’m certainly coming back as I did not buy every single cheese type and I definitely feel I have to try them all, including the St Ambroise beer washed one. For now the aged Douanier is the absolute winner! ”

“This cheese factory impresses us every time we visit, and the cheeses are excellent no matter which one you choose. You’ll be impressed when you see the bill. At least 50% cheaper than supermarkets.”

“This cute little fromagerie has great cheese and condiments. We enjoyed sampling a few of the cheeses and purchased our favorites along with crackers, coffee, and a few sweets. The coffee is made using Nespresso pods and the selection of cold beverages includes juice, soda water, and standard cold drinks. There are a couple of small tables to sit inside and enjoy the atmosphere! ”

“OMG. What can I say. I’ve known this place from 25 yrs ago. We kept going back despite the renovations and building of the new store. They keep expanding their offer. Great cheeses and more. They started selling fresh bread and jams many years back. The secret is out. On a Thursday afternoon in September people still queue up with a shopping list for their friends and family. They’ve setup a few picnic tables and additional parking to accommodate the masses. Come early come quick come often!!!”

“A nice selection of cheeses and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. I loved my cheese choices!”

“This place is amazing.

The beer cheese is my favorite, and the brie was solid. Others in the group liked their swisslike cheese and softer one with some vegetable ash that was a bit ripe for my taste. Being direct to customers it’s around the same price as super market cheese and WAY better. Worth going out of your way on the way back from MTL if you’re in upstate NY.

The olive bread in stock is really well done and even the sparkling juice was really tasty. We got an apple blend (grapefruit I’m tempted to say?) and it was a delicious treat for the ride back. ”

“This place is as excellent as other reviewers indicate. We visited during a bike tour when about a dozen of us stopped in for lunch. Excellent service, very reasonable prices and superb cheese (and baguettes to put it on). We biked in from Vermont–only about 10 minutes from the border crossing. The place seems very popular with local residents as well as tourists. All in all a very nice scene. ”

“A wide variety of excellent local cheeses. Several of these cheeses have won awards. On the spot, you can taste to make your choice. What’s more, the prices are reasonable!”

“This is well worth a visit! We go here often and the variety is wonderful and the cheese is literally award winning (check out the display). Friends and family who generally think they don’t like anything beyond cheddar are astounded by the number of cheeses they love from here. ”

“Love this cheese company, but as someone who sells your cheese I don’t quite understand the bipolar minds behind the stickers/ logo! Always receiving a new one every time! Is it not possible to stick to one?! All of the members of our store collectively agreed that the red is the best looking. ”
