Le Clos

Le Clos St-Ambroise

Born from the marriage of two fabulous products, cheese and beer, which beautifully enhance the fruity aromas of the cheese.

Washed rind with MacFerly beer, with a beige to copper color and a pale yellow interior.

Soft texture, slightly supple with a nutty aroma.

Fruity flavor with a note reminiscent of MacFerly beer.

Cheese preservation

Semi-firm & firm cheese Washed Rinds, 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
  • “Well worth the detour!”

    We really had a great stay! The staff were very efficient and pointed out several kinds of cheese. We found the prices to be reasonable and of a high standard. The store sells bread, chocolate and other products. The grocery store was easy to find after crossing the border into Alburg, Vermont.

  • “A little gem for cheese lovers”

    This cheese factory impresses us every time we visit, and the cheeses are excellent no matter which one you choose. You’ll be impressed when you see the bill. At least 50% cheaper than supermarkets.
