Vacherin Fri-Charco
A semi-firm cheese with a washed rind, it has a sweet, fruity, lactic aroma, with a flavor of hazelnuts and salted butter.
Its name is a nod to the original Swiss Vacherin, but ours is made with pasteurized milk, giving it a milder taste.
This is one of the two cheeses we recommend for Swiss fondue; the other is Miranda.
- Pasteurized cow’s milk
- Refining time: 60 days
- Fat: 27% - Moisture: 48%
- Pairings: Mild red wine, orchard fruit

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.
“Beautiful cheese store”
“Wow, who would believe that just next to the border, away from main roads there is a beautiful cheese store offering unique and delicious cheeses produced right there. Thanks to the American Yelpers who actually wrote reviews about it, as I discovered its existence using Yelp rather then using the colourful local tourist maps. I may have been ignorant that Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser exists, but this is not the case for the rest of the Quebec population.
The store although very spacious was crowded. People kept coming and buying kilograms of cheeses. Yet service was fast and efficient. The speciality of the fromagerie is raclette, but they also have varieties of other cheeses. Some of the cheeses are available on the counter for tasting. We were also offered to try the cheeses we were interested in, which we ended up buying of course. Prices are competitive. I’m certainly coming back as I did not buy every single cheese type and I definitely feel I have to try them all, including the St Ambroise beer washed one. For now the aged Douanier is the absolute winner! ”

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! ”
