Contest History
For 25 years, Sélection Caseus has had the mission of rewarding not only the excellence of Quebec cheeses, but also of highlighting the know-how of its artisans. Organized by the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food (MAPAQ), this major competition is open to all producers, regardless of the size of their business or the type of cheese they produce. This notoriety acquired over the years translates into a direct impact on consumer demand from its winners while contributing to the development and influence of the industry.
A rigorous evaluation process
Orchestrated by the Institut de technologie agroalimentaire du Québec, the competition brings together some twenty recognized specialists in the field, whose sensory analysis determines the selection of 21 winners in different categories. Cow's, goat's or sheep's milk, no less than 202 cheeses from 44 factories across Quebec received a thorough evaluation from the members of the jury.
The podium
Discover the three big stars of 2023, winning cheeses of the prestigious gold, silver and bronze Caseus.
GOLD
Zacharie Cloutier
Fromagerie Nouvelle France, Eastern Townships
Matured for 4 to 6 months, this unpasteurized sheep's milk cheese has a washed, orange-coloured rind decorated with an arrowed sash pattern. Its firm texture releases delicious aromas of brioche, buttered corn and caramel. We should also mention that its name is a beautiful tribute to the ancestor of the Cloutier-Houde family.

SILVER
Louis Cyr 2 ans
Fromagerie Bergeron, Chaudière-Appalaches
Louis Cyr aged 2 years is a Gouda cheese made from pasteurized milk from cows fed dry hay. Although crumbly when cut, it surprises with its creamy texture on the palate. You can see tyrosine crystals, a sign of successful ripening. The taste of its orange flesh is reminiscent of burnt caramel and nuts. This aged Gouda is firmly rooted in its regional terroir.
