Le Migneron is a medium intensity cheese with a pinkish beige rind and a supple, smooth and unctuous paste. It features a mild fruity and buttery aroma and a nutty, creamy flavour with a long fruity finish.

Le Migneron is named in honour of Anne Migneron, the first wife of the Dufour ancestor in New France. It was introduced in 1995.

Cheesemaker

Established in 1994, Maison d’Affinage Maurice Dufour was one of the first craft cheese dairies in Québec. An agronomist by training, Mr. Dufour was looking for a way to earn a living while remaining in Charlevoix. Following a visit to “fruitières” (cheesemaking cooperatives) in France’s Franche-Comté, he entered into a partnership with Laiterie de Charlevoix to produce Le Migneron de Charlevoix. Today, the white wheels are still made by the Laiterie and ripened in Mr. Dufour’s maturing facilities.
