L’Écu is a small rindless cheese with a white paste that is slightly chalky and unctuous. It features fresh milk aromas and delicate, lactic, slightly tangy flavours.

This cheese is called L’Écu for its small size, reminiscent of the old French coin.

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.
