L’Alpin
The Alpine, our newest addition to our selection of cheese, is a firm cheese with a washed rind made with cow’s milk that pays homage to its name.
This cheese will coat your palette with exquisite notes of browned butter and oyster mushrooms with a hint of spice that lingers and transforms with every minute.
As its name suggests, the Alpine was created as a nod to traditional Swiss cheese fabricated high in the alps, with its firmer texture and earthier notes.

Cheese preservation
Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds
To best preserve semi firm to firm cheese with washed rinds, store them in the fridge between 2-4 degrees in the paper provided.
The paper will get malleable every time it is unwrapped but will not lose its efficiency to keep the cheese fresh. It is very normal that a layer of white mold grows on the paste of the cheese, this is the natural process of the rind trying to form.
This mold is not harmful; you may remove a thin slice and keep consuming the cheese. The cheese will keep for 4-5 weeks refrigerated.
“A little gem in the region”
“In fact, some of their cheeses can be found at Costco, but most of the stronger ones need to be picked up here, and it’s well worth the trip from Montreal (about 50 minutes) near the border.
It’s local, it tastes great, and if you drive another 5 minutes, you’ll be at Lake Champlain (Venise-en-Québec).”

“OMG. What can I say.”
“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!!!”
