Local Delivery • In-Store Pickup
This product requires refrigeration.

Closer to cheddar in texture this cow’s milk cheese is mild and pleasant when young but as it ages it develops nuttier and sharper, saltier flavours. Single sourced from a historic PEC Ontario dairy farm, Jean, it’s 75 year old owner, is still milking her cows daily. Great with lighter reds (Gamay) or barrel fermented Chardonnay.

Ingredients: milk, bacterial culture, organic rennet, sea salt.
