ROY LÉO

Fromagerie F.X. Pichet
Mauricie

This firm, organic farm cheese is made with raw cow’s milk and surface ripened for more than five months. Under its caramel-coloured rind, its flavour is reminiscent of Parmesan and Emmental cheeses, with a slightly citrusy aftertaste. It retains its elastic texture in a raclette and browns easily for the perfect au gratin dish.  It is delectable on its own as part of a cheese tasting.

Available from the cheese maker.

Aromatic and mellow SAQ

These dry wines are characterized by fairly strong aromas of spice, toast or exotic fruit. In the mouth, they carry a rich and well-balanced texture.
