L’Adoray has an orangey rind and an ivory-coloured, supple and creamy paste. Strapped with spruce bark, it features lactic, woodsy aromas and slightly spicy flavours of butter, wood and straw.

Introduced in 2016, the cheese is named for the grandfather and father of cheesemaker Alain Boyer: Adorice and Raymond.

Cheesemaker

The cheese dairy was established in 2011 following the meeting of two men, Alain Boyer and Guy Boucher.
