About Fromagerie Hamel
Fromagerie Hamel is a Montreal cheese shop that began at Jean-Talon Market in 1961. It ages both Quebec and European cheeses in its own cellars, so many wheels reach the counter after time in Hamel's care. The shop has long been a reference for Montrealers who want advice and a wide choice in one place.
It is a natural stop for building a cheese board for guests, or for picking a gift for a cheese lover. Ask the staff what is ripe that week and taste before you buy. Pair a visit with a walk through Jean-Talon Market for bread, fruit and something to drink.
