Le Bleu de Brebis de Charlevoix is a strong blue cheese with a greyish rind and plenty of blue veins in its yellow-beige interior. It features sharp mushroom and cream aromas and reveals a pungent, slightly salty and bitter taste.

Introduced in 2009, Le Bleu de Brebis de Charlevoix is made with milk from the Dufour Family’s ewe herd.

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.
