Savour Canadian Cheeses

For recipes, visit allyouneedischeese.ca



Aged Farmhouse • Natural Pastures Cheese Company Courtenay, British Columbia • naturalpastures.com

All the milk that goes into Natural Pastures cheese comes from local farms on Vancouver Island. Hand-made under the guidance of head cheese maker Paul Sutter, this rich tasting firm cheese is aged for about 1 year. The texture is creamy with small crystals that have formed in the cheese and the lingering flavour is slightly sweet.

Handeck • Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese Woodstock, Ontario • gunnshillcheese.ca

This firm washed rind cheese is made in a similar method to typical Swiss mountain style cheeses. Owner and cheese maker, Shep Ysselstein studied cheese making in Switzerland and it influences all of his cheeses. Handeck is rich with complex flavours and a nutty aroma. All of the milk for this cheese comes from the family’s dairy farm.

Bleu Bénédictin • Abbaye St-Benoît St-Benoît du Lac, Québec

Fromagerie de L’Abbaye Saint-Benoît is the only cheese dairy in North America that is run by Benedictine monks. Made from pasteurized whole cow milk, this premium semi-soft blue is aged at least three months in natural caves under the monastery to make it superb, with an extra-creamy texture and a complex, pleasantly lingering flavour.

Ask for these fine cheeses in:

Hamilton and Niagara area: 13th Street Winery, Cheese Cellar at Stoney Ridge Winery, Cheese Secrets, Cheese Shoppe On Locke, Cheesy Guys at Malivoire Winery, Chez Fromage, Mickey McGuire’s Cheese Shop, Vineland Estates Winery
