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.
“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).”

“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. ”
