About Fromagerie Perron

Fromagerie Perron is a cheese house in Saint-Prime, on the shores of Lac Saint-Jean, founded in 1890. For more than 130 years it has made aged cheddars, including L'Héritage 7 ans, a cheddar aged seven years. It is one of the long-standing names in Quebec cheddar.

Aged cheddar suits people who like sharp, crumbly cheese with a bit of crunch. Serve it with apples, crackers or a slice of tourtière, or grate it into a gratin. A block of seven-year cheddar makes a simple, very Quebec gift, especially at the holidays, and a nice souvenir from a Lac-Saint-Jean trip.
