This 850 g log stands out with its vermiculated, lightly downy rind in an ivory hue. Its dense, rich, and finely crumbly texture makes it an ideal choice for portioning. It is enhanced with a delicate line of Charlevoix Gorria pepper, adding a subtle aromatic touch and a gentle warmth. On the nose, it reveals notes of hazelnut and toasted bread, while the palate offers a harmonious balance of nutty, caprine, saline, and lactic flavors. A refined and nuanced cheese, perfect for those who appreciate complex textures and layered tastes.

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.
