Raclette – Washed with Beer
Originally from Switzerland, cheesemaker Fritz Kaiser was a pioneer in creating Canadian raclette.
Semi-firm cheese surface-aged with Quebec beer from the Alchimiste brewery (gluten free beer).
This cheese has a fruity aroma and a pronounced hazelnut flavor with a light malt taste.
Its name comes from the act of scraping the melted surface of the cheese onto potatoes on a plate.

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.
“Excellent service, very reasonable prices and superb cheese”
“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. ”

Yelp“Great cheese”
“This place is fantastic. Just happened upon it on a quick trip over the border from Vermont. Great cheese, French bread and service. We sat outside in their pretty picnic area and had a gourmet lunch (including some olives). They also sell a variety of other specialty items too. We just loved the whole experience! ”
