La Pyramide Ruban Bleu is an artisanal goat cheese with a downy white rind and a cream-coloured interior that is chalky yet creamy. It features mild, slightly caprine aromas and lingering flavours that are gentle and lactic with a hint of mushroom.

This cheese, launched in the 1990’s, gets its name from its pyramidal shape.

Cheesemaker

Fromagerie Ruban Bleu was one of the first cheesemakers to sell goat cheese in Québec. In the early 1980’s, newly-retired city dwellers Denise Poirier and Jean-Paul Rivard bought a home in Saint-Isidore. To please their children they acquired a few goats. As the milk surplus was considerable, the couple started to produce artisanal goat cheese. The facility was named for the blue ribbon which one of their goats was awarded in a competition.
