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.
“Always a pleasure”
“Even today, it was a pleasure to pick up our cheeses. Outstanding service! They are attentive and we have the full attention of the person who serves us. The cheeses are magnificently good and the prices are more than interesting. My kids love going there. They’re always happy to taste and even ask for other cheeses. ”

“Even if it's out of your way, make a special trip!”
“The tour guide at nearby Fort Lennox recommended this fromagerie, and we loved it! We grabbed some bread and cookies to go along with our cheeses, then had a picnic lunch on their table across the street. We had a raclette, green peppercorn cheese, and a goat milk brie.
Even if it’s out of your way, make a special trip!”
