Le Bleu de Brebis de Charlevoix is a strong blue cheese with a greyish rind and plenty of blue veins in its yellow-beige interior. It features sharp mushroom and cream aromas and reveals a pungent, slightly salty and bitter taste.

Introduced in 2009, Le Bleu de Brebis de Charlevoix is made with milk from the Dufour Family’s ewe herd.

Cheesemaker

Founded in 1994, Maison d’affinage Maurice Dufour is one of the first artisanal cheese dairies in Québec. Trained as an agronomist, Maurice Dufour was looking for a way to stay in his native Charlevoix region while earning a living. After a trip to Franche-Comté, France, where he discovered the fruitières — cooperatives for cheese production and processing — he partnered with Laiterie de Charlevoix to create Migneron de Charlevoix. To this day, the wheels are made at the Laiterie and then aged at the Maison d’affinage.
