Cheeses for all tastes

After winning many international prizes, the reputation of local cheeses is well established; we make great products and we’re proud! Plus, we produced a wide variety of them for all tastes. With more than 1,000 Quebec cheeses to try, the only question that remains is “Where to start?”. Luckily, Les Fromages d’ici just launched a new tool to help you.

Taste tags, now for cheeses

After wines and spirits, it’s time for cheeses to get their tags. Like alcohol, cheeses have a deliciously complex flavour profile, so the tool works wonders to help you make your choices according to your tastes and desires; just follow the guide!

3 elements to classify them

Flavour*

Floral, animal, fruity, roasted… discover the flavour(s) that make up each cheese.

*Qu’est-ce qu’une flaveur? C’est l’ensemble des sensations olfactives et gustatives perçues à la dégustation.

Intensity

5 levels: From soft to powerful. Whether you want to surprise our taste buds a little or a lot.

Texture

5 choices here too, from firm to creamy, including brittle. To cracker or not to cracker?

A natural pairing with wines (bonus points for Quebec ones) 

The SAQ and cheese go hand in wine. And why is this union so successful, you ask? Because both have a multitude of aromas and textures, influenced by their terroir and their production method. By playing with each element, you can create delicious pairings, in contrast or likeness.
