On the Road.... Aventures avec Fromages

Food adventure "part deux" made our stop in Quebec a very memorable one. We wanted to experience the taste of Quebec and Aux Petits Délices  helped us achieve our goal. We walked into this market and were immediately greeted with a smile and warm welcome. We explained to the lovely gentleman behind the counter, let's call him Jacques, that we needed cheese only made in Quebec and we wanted a range from hard to soft, mild to strong. Jacques knew exactly what we needed and what cheeses would make our taste buds dance with pure joy.  He had us taste all of his favorites that were made in Quebec and made it a very easy process to select only the best that the province had to offer.  He placed all of our cheeses in a basket and sent us over to the next counter, where he explained we would receive all the meats and treats that would compliment our cheese platter.

We ended up leaving the store with enough cheese, meats, condiments, crackers and fresh baguette to have hosted a party in our hotel suite. Fortunately for us, we didn't end up sharing any of it. If you are ever in Quebec and you want to experience local cheeses, don't forget about this local gem of a market. It will not disappoint.

Victor et Berthold
A semi-soft cheese with a washed rind, made from thermized milk. Its light fruity flavour is coupled with a buttery and earthy aroma.


Jersey du Fjord
A firm cheese made from raw Jersey cow's milk, interior ripened for 10 months. It is known for it crumbly interior, a result of the way it is produced - curds are milled into small, differently shaped pieces.


Le Gré des champs
Organic raw-cheese from the Montérégie region, Quebec, Canada. This firm cheese with a nutty flavor contains 35% fat.


Blue d'Elizabeth
Organic, semi-soft, raw-milk farm cheese with blue-veined interior. A natural rind with coloured spots and an interior with lovely blue veins, sometimes with a tinge of green due to the presence of Penicillium Roqueforti. Balanced salty flavour.


If you love cheese as much as we do, give these decadent flavors a try.
