A Masterclass in Quebec Fine Cheeses.
Experience the rich heritage of French-Canadian cheesemaking with this exclusive collection from La Maison Alexis de Portneuf. Located in the charming village of Saint-Raymond, Quebec, this fromagerie blends old-world French techniques with the pristine terroir of the Portneuf region.
This isn't just a cheese box; it is a tasting journey through some of the most decorated cheeses in the world. From the triple-cream indulgence of ash-covered Brie to the bold character of washed-rind masterpieces, this 6-pack delivers an instant, sophisticated cheeseboard that rivals top restaurants.
✨ The Star of the Show:
-
👑 Le Cendrillon (The Cinderella): Goat Milk.(Voted "Best Cheese in the World" at the World Cheese Awards). This vegetable ash-covered goat cheese is a legend. It features a marble-textured rind and a semi-soft ivory paste. The flavor is tangy and fresh when young, developing a piquant complexity as it ages.
🧀 What Else is Inside:
-
🔵 Bleubry: Cow Milk. The perfect gateway to blue cheese. It marries the creamy, mild texture of a Triple Cream Brie with the distinct, savory tang of a blue. Rich, buttery, and not too salty.
-
🌓 Cendré de Lune: Cow Milk. A stunning Triple Cream Brie rolled in vegetable ash. It releases aromas of fresh mushrooms and warm butter. The ash balances the creaminess with a gentle acidity that is simply elegant.
-
🍎 Cantonnier: Cow Milk. A firm, washed-rind cheese that is unmatched for snacking. It offers effervescent flavors of fruity cream and fresh apples, with a finish that tastes like hazelnut butter.
-
🐐 Aged Caprano: Goat Milk. Aged for months to develop a firm texture and a delicate, refined taste. It delivers the nutty sweetness of goat milk without the "barnyard" bite, making it a crowd-pleaser for all palates.
-
🏵️ Sir Laurier d'Arthabaska: Cow Milk. A pioneer in the world of washed-rind cheeses. Recognizable by its wrinkled, reddish-orange rind, this soft cheese is full-bodied, meltingly smooth, and packed with robust, savory aroma.
🍷 Pairing Inspiration:
-
For the Creamy & Ash Cheeses: Crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Rosé cuts through the rich butterfat of the Cendré de Lune and Bleubry.
-
For the Bold Washed Rinds: The Sir Laurier and Cantonnier stand up beautifully to an Amber Ale or a medium-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon.
-
The Perfect Bite: Serve Le Cendrillon with a drizzle of honey and a fresh baguette to contrast its tangy, ash-coated rind.
