About Fromagerie Le Détour

Fromagerie Le Détour is a cheesemaker in Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac, in the Bas-Saint-Laurent region near the New Brunswick border. It crafts fine cheeses, both soft and firm, from three kinds of milk: cow, goat and sheep. That range lets one small maker cover a lot of ground on a cheese board.

It suits curious eaters who like to compare milks and textures. Pick one cheese of each milk for a tasting at home, with apples or a local cider. If you drive toward the Maritimes or around Lac Témiscouata in summer, the region is worth slowing down for, and the name of the cheesemaker says it well.
