About Fromagerie du Pied-De-Vent

Fromagerie du Pied-De-Vent makes cheese in Havre-aux-Maisons, on the Magdalen Islands in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Its cheeses are made from raw milk from its own herd of Canadienne cows, a heritage breed with deep roots in Quebec farming history. Island grass, sea air and a small herd all shape the flavour.

This is a cheese for people who like to know exactly where their food comes from. If you travel to the Îles de la Madeleine in summer, a stop at the cheese counter is part of the trip. Back on the mainland, look for it in specialty cheese shops and serve it simply, with bread and fruit.
