Le Secret is a small artisanal cheese with a white bloomy rind and a velvety, very runny interior. Its fresh milk flavour presents a hint of salt and bitterness.

Cheesemaker Maurice Dufour holds the secret to his recipe… To eat it, remove the rind from the top and enjoy it to the heart. When young, it can be enjoyed like any other soft cheese. It may be frozen.

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.
