Artisan cheese le Fleur des Monts has a dark, natural rind with a firm, smooth ochre interior. Grassy aromas reveal rich almond and floral flavours.

While offering a wink to the herd’s floral diet, le Fleur des Monts’s name also refers to the facility’s geographic location: In Saint-Hélène-de-Chester, sheep graze at the foot of endless rolling hillsides.

Cheesemaker

Fromagerie La Moutonnière is a pioneer in Québec when it comes to cheese made with ewe milk. At the beginning of the 90’s, Lucille Giroux, owner of Bergerie de la Moutonnière since 1977, decided to go into the cheesemaking business. Mrs. Giroux imported 33 dairy ewes from Sweden and, in 1995, introduced her feta, Québec’s first ewe milk cheese.
