Cheesemaker

L'Atelier Fromagerie was founded in 2011, when veteran cheesemaker Simon Hamel decided to start producing his own cheeses. From 1999 to 2011, Simon worked as a cheesemaker for several prominent Quebec cheese producers and acquired a BAC in food processing at Laval University. He gained further experience at a farmstead goat creamery in Aveyron, France, in the summers of 2008 and 2009.
