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 MacFerly brewery.

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.

  • “Very friendly and helpful staff.”

    Just north of the US border very cute cheese shop. Many choices with just as many samples to help You decide.

    We were traveling far and were offered frozen bottles of water to keep cheese cool. Very friendly and helpful staff.

  • “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!
