Tasting Notes:

Le Douanier Cheese is a semi-firm, surface-ripened cheese. It has an edible vegetable ash layer that runs through the centre of the wheel, symbolizing the proximity to the Canada-US border close to where the cheese is produced.

The cheese is ripened in a ripening room for more than 9 weeks as it develops its texture and suble flavours. It has an earthy aroma and organic flavour, with notes of nuts and green apple.

Pair with Côtes de Rhône, Anjou.

Our cheese mongers hand cut every cheese to order. We will always try to cut the exact weight ordered, however your piece might be slightly over or under the amount listed. But please know that we cut it freshly and specifically for you.

If you order several cheeses, we will usually make up for shortcomings on weight, if any, on the other cheeses ordered.

All cheeses are wrapped in special cheese paper and sealed to preserve freshness during transit.

Every order includes all the necessary thermal packaging and ice packs required for current weather conditions. Our main focus is getting the freshest product delivered to your door.
