Fromagerie Île-aux-Grues (Chaudière-Appalaches)
Firm
M.F. : 31% Moisture : 39%
This firm, rindless cheese is made with thermized milk drawn exclusively from the dairy farms on the island. That proximity allows the cheese to preserve the premium aromatic qualities of the milk, as well as the subtle flavours that are unique to Île-aux-Grues. Aged cheddars are available in three stages of maturity, each with a unique flavour that becomes increasingly characteristic and pronounced with age. This firm pressed cheese has a creamy yellow colour and a smooth texture. It has a mild and milky aroma and a hazelnut taste that becomes more pronounced with age.
