Quebec produces some of Canada's best loved artisan cheeses. The La Sauvagine is an extremely popular soft, creamy cheese that has a complex flavor of mushrooms, salt and spice. It was winner of the 2006 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix and its addition on a cheese plate is always a hit. The triple crème cheese Le Riopelle de I'Isle, with a flavor that hints of hazelnuts and mushrooms, is another popular Quebec soft cheese made from cow’s milk. The Chevalier Brie, also Quebec made, makes a great accompaniment to white wines like Chardonnay.
