La Tomme des Demoiselles
Fromagerie du Pied-De-Vent
Îles-de-la-Madeleine
This pressed farm cheese is aged more than six months, which gives it pronounced, fruity flavours. It is made with thermized whole milk from a single herd of grazing Canadienne cows from the Îles-de-la-Madeleine region. The cheese’s name was inspired by the two large knolls dotting the landscape of Havre-Aubert, one of the region’s hamlets. The cheese is available from the cheese maker, at specialty grocery stores and cheese shops as well as from some supermarkets.
