RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Grey Owl - Quebec
This visually tempting cheese is made with non-animal rennet and pasteurised goats milk. On the outside, the vegetal ash endows the cheese with a wrinkly, dark, slate-coloured and piquant smelling edible rind. The interior paste is creamy and dense, softening at the edge of the rind. As it melts in your mouth, the smooth and silky texture of the cheese offers pleasing sharp goaty and lemony flavours.
Pairs well with a dry Riesling or a nice crisp dry Sauvignon Blanc.
Sold by weight, $9.50/100g
NEW ARRIVAL: Bocconcino - Italy
This is BOCCONCINO - not to be confused with bocconcini - a teensy tiny version of the great Italian cheese ROBIOLA. (Toonie for scale)
This cheese is made with goats milk from Piedmont, and has a super thin rind and creamy texture. On the goat-funk scale, this one would come in at around a 4/10 - noticeably goaty, but not offensive at all. This cheese is typically served as a table cheese, and occasionally slightly heated to enhance the flavours and texture. It’s creamy without being gooey, quite like the texture of Taleggio.
Bocconcino translates to “little mouthful”, which I think is just the cutest little name for the cutest little cheese!
Sold in 80g wheels, $6.99 each
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Ciambella Trifulo - Italy
Truffle lovers, this one's for you! Made with raw cow's milk, this cheese is speckled with summer truffles from the region. The cheese is made with the Kinara Method, meaning that instead of using animal or synthetic rennet, La Fattorie Fiandino (the producer) uses a special flower from a wild thistle to make the cheese - meaning this one is 100% vegetarian! The cheese is semi-firm, with a melt-in-your-mouth, smooth and luxurious texture. The flavour of the truffles is prominent, but complimented by the subtle earthiness of the cheese. Ciambella is a traditional Piedmontese breakfast cake that's shaped like a Bundt cake, and the name of this cheese is inspired by the cake!
Sold by weight, $14.90/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: 1608 de Charlevoix - Quebec
Between the years 1608 and 1670, a few hundred head of cattle were imported from France, and gave birth to the Canadienne breed of cows. Of the estimated 500,000 head herd in 1900, less than 500 remain today. They were reintroduced in Chaelevoix in 2007, and the effort to raise the population has been in full swing since! The creation of 1608 cheese is one of the ways the effort is supported.
1608 is a delicious, melt in your mouth cheese with a mild, washed rind. It has a complex, fruity flavour with a subtle barny aroma. Perfect as a replacement for Raclette, or paired with an off-dry white wine.
Sold by weight, $8.90/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Bonnechere - Back40 - Mississippi Station, ON
The rugged Bonnechere River and the mysterious Bonnechere Caves are unique landmarks of the Ottawa Valley. A distinct feature of our Bonnechere is the rind that is toasted over an open flame before aging. This painstaking process, traditional for certain Basque cheeses, imparts a delicious caramel essence which permeates the body of the cheeses as it ages, and provides a delicious contrast to the tangy and fruity body of the cheese. Pairs best with Pinot Noir, dark Ale or smoked beers.
Sold by weight, $9.00/100g
Only ~500g available
NEW ARRIVAL: Back 40 Swiss Style - Mississippi Station, ON
This is a super delicious sheeps milk swiss style cheese from Back40 Cheeses in Mississippi Station, ON. Officially, it's unnamed because this is one of only a handful of wheels that I am super fortunate to be one of the first people EVER to receive and carry it!
This cheese falls into the Alpine cheese flavour profiles - it's nutty and smooth with an addicting bite that would be AMAZING on a Philly Cheesesteak sandwich or melted onto French Onion Soup... if it can make it long enough to be used in your recipe without being eaten first!! It has a stunning natural rind to protect the firm inner goodness, and is super delicious with strawberries or grapes. It's made with sheeps milk instead of the "typical" cows milk for alpine style, which gives this cheese an extra layer of flavour that is unbelievably scrumptious.
If you're a fan of cheeses like Appenzeller, Gruyere, Wrangeback or Emmental, this is definitely an incredible choice for you!
Sold by weight, $11.00/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Chateau de Bourgogne - France
Sometimes known as The Cadillac of Bries, it's pretty hard to find something that can improve this delicious cheese. From the region of Burgundy in France, this bloomy-rind, triple-cream brie will blow you away! The rind of this cheese is typical of a brie, a bit on the thicker side with a puffy, white rind, but the inner paste is almost like a savoury whipped cream - buttery, slightly salty, slightly sweet and absolutely scrumptious! Enjoy this cheese spread on a flavourful cracker with some of your favourite spreads, or solo! Pairs well with sparkling wine, dry Riesling, Pinot Grigio or Viognier.
Sold in 200g wheels, $19.99 each
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Old Amsterdam Gouda - Netherlands
This lovely Gouda comes from just outside the town of Gouda in the Netherlands, and is aged for at least 2 years. It has a rich, caramel/brown butter flavour and is spotted with tyrosine crystals (also lovingly referred to as “Cheese Diamonds”) which give this creamy cheese a delicious crunch! Following the typical flavour profile of a mature Gouda, this is a fantastic choice for those who like firmer and sharper cheeses that don't veer too far from normal. Definitely a cheese to pair with your favourite red wines.
Sold in 200g packages, $15.99 each
RETURN (t0) FLIGHT: Beurre d'Isigny Demi-Sale - France
Perhaps not the splurge for everyone, I thought it would be fun to bring in a special butter for the holiday season, and it sold out so fast I decided to bring it in again!!
This BUTTER (not cheese, but butter!!!) is a PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) butter from Isigny-sur-Mer in the North West of France, and is unlike any other butter you likely would have had before. It has a buttercup yellow colour and slightly hazelnutty flavour profile, and has followed a slow, traditional fermentation process that helps it develop its distinctive aromas and flavours.
What makes this butter different than the butter you're used to? A few things -- the Isigny region has a warm and humid climate, and is close in proximity to the ocean and marshes. The cows, therefore, feed on grass that is rich in iodine, beta-carotene and micronutrients, giving the butter its own unique flavour! This butter is 100% natural, and has a fat content of at least 82% (for reference, Canadian butter is only 80%) with tons of Vitamin A and E. This butter contains no artificial flavours, preservatives or colouring. This butter also goes through a special production process called tourage that gives it a malleable yet firm texture, and is favoured by French pastry chefs when making light & airy puff pastries and crispy baked goods with buttery flavour!
For more information on this particular butter, visit the Isigny website here.
Sold in 250g baskets, $27.99 each
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Buchette aux Fleurs - France
This is Buchette aux Fleurs from Fromagerie Jacquin. It’s a soft goat cheese coated in a variety of dried flowers which lend a light floral flavour to the citrus-y, tart and creamy goat cheese. Definitely not on the funky/heavy side, this cheese is light & easy to snack on.
Before I REALLY got into cheeses, this was one of the first artisanal cheese I tried and I’ve loved it ever since! It’s on my mental lists of good ones that I always know I can keep coming back to and will enjoy.

NEW ARRIVAL: Picobello - Netherlands
Picobello is a super interesting Dutch cheese with an Italian name! Rumoured to be a Gouda that's inspired by Parmigiano Reggiano, this cheese is an ultra-delicious one that's great for snacking. Chock full of tyrosine crystals (aka cheese diamonds), the texture of this cheese is perfectly balanced between slightly creamy and crunchy/crumbly with the abundance of crystals. Picobello has the characteristic flavour of a Gouda - creamy, caramelly, butterscotchy goodness - with the texture of a well aged Italian cheese!
Sold by weight, $9.00/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Shropshire Blue - UK
Shropshire Blue is a blue cheese made from pasteurized cows' milk and uses vegetable rennet. It's orange colour comes from the addition of annatto, a natural food colouring, and has a moderate amount of blue veining. It tastes much like a cheddar cheese with a hint of blue, and uses the same recipe as Stilton blue, giving it a familiar but unique flavour profile. This cheese is perfect for snacking or on salads, and pairs beautifully with any red wine.
Sold by weight, $10.50/100g
Flor Villuercas - Queso Ibores - PDO - Spain
This lovely artisanal cheese is made from raw goats milk and rubbed with zesty Spanish paprika! Aged for a minimum of 90 days, this cheese is semi-soft, with a pleasant but not overwhelming goaty flavour and aromas of herbs and paprika.
Sold by weight, $11.00/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Crottin Germain - France
Crottin de Chevre Germain is a moulded goat cheese made from pasteurized milk and matured in the Berry region of France. Under its fine, white rind hides a firm and slightly crumbly texture with a moderately funky yet delicate flavour. This cheese is a Loire Valley Chevre – meaning that it follows a very similar flavour profile to other cheese from the same region. Chabichou de Poitou, Valencay, Selles-sur-Cher are some examples. This cheese is on the milder side of the Loire funk spectrum, but it’ll give you a great idea of what to expect from this type of cheese.
Sold in 60g wheels, $6.99 each
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Guinness Cheddar - Ireland
What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than with an Irish cheddar with Guinness! This lovely cheese is a mature Irish cheddar that is marbled with Guinness beer to give it its stunning appearance! The cheese is slightly sweet and malty with a caramel undertone, and pairs perfectly with your favourite dark beers. Even if you're not a huge fan of dark beers (or Guinness specifically), the veining isn't too overwhelming. I've even had a few people tell me that they enjoy the cheese even though they hate the beer!
I know the label says Irish Porter, but the ingredients list does actually say Guinness!!! (Proof Here).
Sold by weight, $9.95/100g
RETURN (to) FLIGHT: Saganash - Ontario
This is a decadent, firm sheeps milk cheese from Fromagerie Kapuskoise in Kapuskasing, Ontario. It's just the right amount of salty and earthy, with a very distinct rich, umami-forward flavour. Not only is it great in place of a Pecorino for cooking, this is a 10/10 cheese for snacking, grating, or shaving!
Sold by weight, $10.50/100g

Sold in 200g wheels, $16.99 each
Kapuskasing Chevre - Ontario
One of my best sellers is Kapuskasing from Fromagerie Kapuskoise, up North in (you guessed it) Kapuskasing, Ontario. I've been eyeing the goats milk version (top) for quite a while, and decided 2024 is the year we try it out!
This cheese is slightly more tart than the "original" Kapuskasing (bottom), with the familiar light, salty, creamy flavour we know and love with its signature layer of vegetable ash throughout the center. Works beautifully in a salad or accompanied with fresh fruit, but can also stand its own on a cheese board.
Goats milk is known for having a considerably lower amount of lactose than cows milk, so many people with lactose intolerance are able to tolerate goats cheeses without any issues!
Sold by weight, $8.70/100g
Blue Moo - Cow's Creamery, PEI
Blue Moo is a cream-forward, mild "beginner blue" - perfect for those wanting to venture out into the world of blue cheese! Even if you're a blue lover, this is a perfectly balanced blue sure to impress. It's rich and buttery, yet light and flavourful - a great choice for serving to a group of people. Blue Moo is a triple cream blue cheese made with 100% PEI dairy that is thermalized (warmed, but not pasteurized - leaving many of the great microbes and flavour compounds that give PEI cheeses their unique flavour) inspired by recipes from the Orkney Islands in Scotland. Cow's Creamery only started making this cheese at the beginning of 2022 but has already garnered some well-deserved attention around the country!
Sold by weight, $7.50/100g
Cow's Creamery 2017 Reserve Cheddar - PEI
Aged for an impressive 6 years, this delicious PEI cheddar is a real treat for the holidays! The recipe for this cheddar comes from the Orkney Islands, just north of Mainland Scotland, yet this particular cheese has its very own unique flavour profile. The salty air and iron-rich soil of PEI give this aged cheddar a rich and full-bodied flavour with a tangy bite. The milk for this cheese is thermalized - not pasteurized - to give an even more complex depth of flavour.
Perfect choice for a gift or to serve on a holiday cheese board!

Kapuskasing - Fromagerie Kapuskoise, Ontario
Named after the town in which the cheese is made, Kapuskasing (kah-pus-kay-sing) is based off of Morbier cheese from France. This cheese has a beautiful layer of vegetable ash in the center of the wheel, which is a classic cheesemaking technique from the Jura region in France. Cheesemaker Francois Nadeau was travelling in Asia, where cheese is scarce, and decided he wanted to pursue cheesemaking so he would never have to go without it. His new found passion brought him to Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec for basic training, and then to France for more in depth training. Morbier, the cheese Kapuskasing is based on, was born from the by-products of Comte. Traditionally, cheesemakers would take the leftover curd from the morning milking and cover them with ashes to preserve them, and then did the same thing with the afternoon curd and pressed the cheese into Morbier. The cheese was so delicious, it is now produced with its own dedicated source of milk, but with the layer of ash in the middle to preserve the tradition.

Fried Marcona Almonds with Truffles - Spain
These are FRIED MARCONA ALMONDS WITH TRUFFLE from Antonio Romero. Marcona Almonds are a sweet, gourmet type of almond grown in Spain that has a growing popularity around the world, but more specifically in the Mediterranean. Their texture is almost closer to that of a macadamia nut, and they're shaped a little differently from your "standard" almonds. Nutritionally, there is a minimal difference between Marcona and regular almonds, but in FLAVOUR?! Now that's a whole other story.
Marcona almonds are much sweeter, more moist, and softer than your typical almond, and it has a more buttery flavour. When paired with the dusting of truffle salt on these bad boys. O.M.G. they are amazing.

Out of Stock: Cashel Blue - Ireland
When Louis and Jane Grubb set out to make Cashel Blue in the early 1980s, their ambition was to create a farmhouse cheese that "truly represents the outstanding quality of Tipperary grass-fed milk".

Out of Stock: Mimolette (24 Month) - France
It’s been aged for 24 months with the help of some little critters (bear with me) called cheese mites!! Don’t worry, it’s nothing like Casu Marzu (don’t google that if you’re squeamish) but the cheese mites lend Mimolette its characteristic flavour around the rind. It’s rumoured to be originally made by the request of Louis XIV who wanted a French product to replace the then popular Edam from the Netherlands. The cheese is super rich, crumbly and reminiscent of a reaaalllyyyy old cheddar or gouda. It’s coloured bright orange by the addition of annatto, a classic cheese ingredient in pretty much any orange cheese. The perfect cheese for you aged-cheese-fanatics!

This big and beautiful blue is ultra creamy, salty and full of pristine blue flavour - no extra flavourings, barnyard notes or funk. Just straight up amazing blue! Roquefort has been around for centuries; Julius Caesar has been rumoured to encounter it in the first century BC during their conquest of Gaul, and its arguably one of the most famous cheeses worldwide.
(Maybe not so) FUN FACT: When Roquefort is being aged in the limestone caves, the wheels are actually placed inside of Dark Rye Bread loaves, which lends the cheese its unique flavour. This also means that Roquefort isn't suitable for those who have issues with consuming gluten.

Out of Stock: Langres - France
Langres is a soft, washed rind cheese from the Champagne region in France. One of the huge tenets of pairings is "what grows together goes together", and this cheese is a fantastic example of that! The best way to serve Langres is by pouring some Champagne (or any traditional method sparkling wine) over the cheese and enjoying a glass of the wine with it. This cheese has a small dimple on the top, formally known as the "fontaine" (fountain in French, if you see where we're going with this) which is where you pour about 4oz of the wine onto the cheese and let it flow down around the wheel before you cut into it. The bubbles in the wine balance out the salty, fudgy richness of the cheese and compliment its funky, yeasty, biscuity flavour that is concentrated on the rind.

Out of Stock: Ricotta Salata - Italy
This lovely cheese is from Sicily, Italy and is the older sister of the popular Ricotta cheese! The word "Ricotta" means re-cooked and "Salata" means salted. This cheese is from the whey from sheep milk which is pressed, salted and aged for at least 90 days. It's milky white with a firm texture and salty taste. Great substitution for feta!

Out of Stock: St. Agur - France
Made with pasteurized cow's milk, St. Agur is a one-of-a-kind blue! Soft and creamy, this blue packs a punch. Officially, St. Agur is a double-cream cheese because of the addition of cream during the cheesemaking process. St. Agur isn't quite as salty as other blues such as Roquefort or Stilton, but it's incredibly balanced, ensuring a fantastic flavour with each bite.

Out of Stock: Wakusimi - Kapuskasing, Ontario
Dare I say this cheese may have eclipsed Kapuskasing as my favourite cheese from Fromagerie Kapuskoise?!
Wakusimi is a pressed cheese made from pasteurized cows milk with beautiful vegetable ash veining throughout its paste. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, this cheese is delicious. It tastes as if Kapuskasing and an aged cheddar had a baby - flavours of milk, salt, subtle earthiness and a touch of acidity, this cheese is nothing but a pleasure to snack on! It has a very similar texture to Kapuskasing as well, but maybe a touch less moisture. Enjoy this cheese with some fresh fruit or spreads, and you'll have an incredibly delectable snack on your hands that certainly won't last long!!!

Out of Stock: Monte Enebro - Spain
Full flavoured and boldly goaty, Monte Enebro is a stunning goats milk cheese from just outside of Madrid in Spain. The rind of the cheese is not covered in ash as its appearance may seem, but it's actually ripened with pennicilium roqueforti - the same mold used in many blue cheeses! The main difference, is that instead of inoculating the cheese and spreading the mold throughout the interior, it is just used on the exterior, giving the cheese a spicy, peppercorn-like bite to complement the robust paste. Monte Enebro is only made by one producer in Spain, and has won countless awards around the world. Lovers of Grey Owl will surely appreciate this one!

Out of Stock: Black Olive Manchego - Spain
Visually exciting and deliciously savoury, this Manchego-style cheese from Spain is made with a black olive tapenade veining throughout its paste. The flavour of the cheese itself is pretty bang on for a typical Manchego, however the black olives give it a salty, umami and super savoury flavour. Definitely my favourite of the flavoured Manchegos I've carried in the past!

Out of Stock: Kaiser Raclette - Quebec
In keeping with his Swiss heritage, Mr. Fritz Kaiser is a master of Raclette cheese-making. This beautiful cheese is a semi-soft, surface-ripened cheese that is aged for approximately 8 weeks. It has a subtle flavour of hazelnut, with notes of milk and butter. It's name originates from the French word 'racler', meaning 'to scrape', which is a reference to scraping the melted cheese from the wheel, onto potatoes. To see a video, click here!
Not necessarily meant to be on a cheese board, try Raclette as a fondue or melted on your favourite dishes alongside a dry White wine.
Raclette is best when served melted on a raclette machine and served with fruits, veggies, meats and bread. It makes for a fantastic dinner party where all your guests get to participate in the making of the meal! We rent raclette machines and have a thorough guide on what it is!
