About Fromagerie Nouvelle France

Fromagerie Nouvelle France is a sheep farm and cheesemaker in Racine, in the Eastern Townships. It is known for Zacharie Cloutier, an aged sheep's milk cheese that has become a staple at Quebec cheese counters. The farm raises its animals and makes its cheese in the same rolling countryside.

Zacharie Cloutier suits people who like firm, nutty cheeses with a gentle sweetness. Shave it over a salad, serve it with apples, or put it at the centre of a Quebec cheese board. Racine is close to the Townships' lakes and orchards, so a fall drive in the area makes a good excuse to pick some up.
