About Fromagerie Médard

Fromagerie Médard is a cheesemaker in Saint-Gédéon, on the shore of Lac Saint-Jean. It crafts fine cheeses, especially soft and washed-rind styles, the kind with a supple texture and a fragrant rind. Being right by the lake gives it a setting that many visitors to the region remember.

Washed-rind cheeses suit people who enjoy bold aromas and creamy centres. Let them warm to room temperature and serve with crusty bread and a local beer or cider. A summer trip around Lac Saint-Jean, with its cycling route and beaches, is a natural time to stop in Saint-Gédéon and taste.
