| - Probably the best curd cheese I've had. I discovered this fromagerie at the St-Hyacinthe annual expo and had to buy more. We ended up ordering a huge bag and the following week paid a visit to the factory which is open to the public and has its own restaurant and dairy bar.
Cheese is made fresh every day, they're open seven days a week along with their restaurant which serves classic Quebec staples like poutine, sandwiches, and pizzas. Their pizza features stuffed crust and instead of mozzarella, they use, you guessed it: curd cheese.
I found it delicious but a little odd in texture, curd cheese isn't as stretchy as mozzarella and tends to be wet and sweat when heated. I believe this is what caused our crust to be a little soggy, it was also an extremely thin crust. Despite unusual texture, it was still delicious and worth a try if you're ever on the south shore.
If you're just in the market for cheese though, you can get a kilo for 16$ no tax, or 2kilos for 27$, which is a great deal. They also offer a seasoned bbq or herb and garlic flavor.
Family friendly, family owned business producing a quality product- the unmistakeable taste and texture of their squeaky cheese is sure to please.
