Fromagerie & environment

As a company located in the countryside – in the middle of nowhere, you might say – we try to take care of the environment and ecosystem around us as much as possible.

With this beautiful countryside all around us, we’re always conscious of the importance of being environmentally friendly.

Wastewater treatment

As a company that uses a lot of water for our cheese recipes and to keep the plant clean, we have a superb wastewater treatment system.

Thanks to this system, we can clean all the wastewater and return the water to the local watercourses.

CO2 compressors

In 2012, we installed two CO2 compressors to reduce our dependence on propane. These compressors produce cold water which is used to cool our aging rooms, our production area and cool whey to slow down fermentation inside the silo so it stays fresher for longer.

The hot water produced by these compressors is used to pasteurize the milk, then sent to a storage silo where it can be used in all our cleaning and other equipment.

Sustainable Packaging

In our store, we have also replaced plastic bags with paper bags at the checkout and we are gradually switching to compostable trays. The paper we use to wrap our semi-hard cheeses has been replaced by a more suitable paper that preserves the cheese's freshness and is recyclable.

We now have an industrial-sized recycling garbage can just for cardboard, which ensures that it is properly recycled and reduces the amount of waste going to landfill.

2026 Modernization - Vision

By 2026, we plan to replace the current system with newer, more efficient machines, reducing our dependence on propane by at least 90%.

  • “A fine selection of cheeses”

    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”

    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.
