Rébellion 1837 has a slightly bloomy greyish rind and a blue-veined melting interior. It offers vegetal aromas and tastes of cream, salted butter and mushrooms. Subtly pungent.

Its name refers to the rebellion of 1837-1838. Louis-Joseph Papineau was then the leader of the Patriotes, who were calling for major changes to the administration of the Lower Canada government. England refused and a rebellion exploded. The label recalls a battle from that historic time.

Cheesemaker

The cheese dairy was established in 2011 following the meeting of two men, Alain Boyer and Guy Boucher. Having worked as a cheesemaker in the past, Mr. Boyer dreamed of owning his own cheesemaking business. Understanding that such a project would be difficult to bring to fruition on his own, he was fortunate to meet Guy Boucher, an accountant by training, who dreamed of owning his own business. Mr. Boucher took on the financial aspects, of the enterprise while Mr. Boyer turned to the production side. Fromagerie Montebello officially opened its doors in June 2011. Located in the former Louis-Joseph Papineau seigneurie, Fromagerie Montebello makes fine cheeses in a nod to the famous 18^th century politician.
