Le Rondelait has a washed rind, brownish in colour with a smooth, unctuous paste. It features vegetal and floral aromas, along with medium intensity flavours that are floral and delicately caprine.

Le Rondelait won a Caseus award (Québec cheese competition) promptly after it was introduced in 2016.

Cheesemaker

L'Atelier Fromagerie was founded in 2011, when veteran cheesemaker Simon Hamel decided to start producing his own cheeses. From 1999 to 2011, Simon worked as a cheesemaker for several prominent Quebec cheese producers and acquired a BAC in food processing at Laval University. He gained further experience at a farmstead goat creamery in Aveyron, France, in the summers of 2008 and 2009.
