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.

Preservation
  • “A little gem in the region”

    In fact, some of their cheeses can be found at Costco, but most of the stronger ones need to be picked up here, and it’s well worth the trip from Montreal (about 50 minutes) near the border.

    It’s local, it tastes great, and if you drive another 5 minutes, you’ll be at Lake Champlain (Venise-en-Québec).

  • “Very good cheese products”

    This fromagerie had an excellent assortment of cheeses and other snacks to enjoy with the cheese. There was a picnic table outside to sit and enjoy the cheese and other meals. We were able to bike there, stop, and have a nice break with drinks, snacks, and cheese.
