La Meule du Moulin presents an orangey rind with a supple, unctuous pale yellow pate. While its aroma evokes green pastures, it has a slightly sharp dairy note and a pleasant fruitiness.
Its name refers to le Moulin de la Rémy ‒ one of Québec’s few remaining water mills, located near Laiterie Charlevoix in Baie-Saint-Paul, QC.
Established in 1948 by the Labbé family, back in the day Laiterie Charlevoix bottled and delivered milk in the village of Baie Saint-Paul. By the 60s, it distributed milk as far as Baie-Comeau, and also transformed it into cream, butter and cheddar. It met with great success until the 70s when industrial-sized dairies began to emerge, an era when artisan and regional dairies and creameries were quickly vanishing. In the 80s, Baie-Saint-Paul’s dairy abandoned its milk-bottling activities to concentrate on cheesemaking.
