Pick up some cheese at the source!

If you love cheese and buying local is important to you, then you'll love Fromagerie L'Ancêtre. For three decades, this cheese factory has been a true pioneer of organic agriculture in Quebec. You'll discover a wide selection of L'Ancêtre products: aged cheddars, parmesan, mozzarella, Swiss cheese and gouda. Be sure to look out for the famous Baluchon, a washed-rind aged cheese that is among the factory’s most well known. This treasure chest of regional products also has a shop on site that is stocked with artisan delights and offers a tasty sandwich menu. And don't leave without picking up a small bag of organic cheese curds (made fresh daily) or enjoying a tasty poutine on the spot!
