A double cream brie-style cheese with an ash coating and a bloomy rind.

Cheese preservation

Soft cheese (both washed and bloomy), Soft cheese (both washed and bloomy)

To best preserve soft cheese, 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 3-4 weeks refrigerated.

Preservation
  • “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.

    *Translated from French

  • “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.
