Le Péningouin
Fromagerie Au Gré des Champs
Montérégie
The first raw-milk cheese in Canada that is aged less than 60 days. Le Péningouin is a delicate cheese covered with a fresh, odourless rind. The name Péningouin comes from the expression “penny and going,” used in the past by the owner of the estate where the cheese shop is now located, because in order to access St-Édouard road, people had to pay a penny toll. This cheese is only sold at the farm.
