Le Verdict d’Alexina has an orangey rind and a smooth cream-coloured texture. It features lactic aromas and mild, balanced flavours that combine the three types of milks.

Introduced in 2014 on the occasion of the World Acadian Congress, its label bears the colours of the Acadian flag. As for the name Alexina, which is associated with the Acadian culture, it is also the name of the cheesemakers’ daughter.

Cheesemaker

The idea of opening a cheese dairy first occurred to Mario Quirion at the end of the 90’s. The Beauce native had always wanted to start his own business. When he suggested the idea of making cheese to his wife, Ginette Bégin, she was immediately on board. They quickly selected Ginette’s home region of Témiscouata for their enterprise. The couple had their heart set on developing the terroir of this region, which had not seen a cheese dairy for 35 years. Since they wanted to focus on cheesemaking rather than dairy farming, they wanted to be close to milk supplies. The facility began producing cheese in 1999.
