About Fromagerie Blackburn

Fromagerie Blackburn is a farm cheesemaker in Jonquière, in Saguenay. It makes cheddars and fine cheeses from the milk of its own herd, so every step happens on the farm, from milking the cows to aging the wheels. That close control gives its cheeses a clear sense of place.

Blackburn suits cheese lovers and anyone building a Quebec cheese board. Pair an aged cheddar with apples and a local cider, or try a fine cheese with fresh bread. If you visit Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean, a stop at a farm cheesemaker is part of the regional food experience. The farm is rooted in Jonquière.
