Semi-soft
M.F. : 28% Moisture : 47%This artisanal semi-soft cheese made from pasteurized milk is aged from 35 days to 2 months. Beneath its slightly orange-coloured rind with a fine white bloom lies a soft interior. Its taste is mild, and it features a creamy aroma with herbal notes.
Its name comes from the well-known Quebec expression, “Ça prend pas la tête à Papineau,” which roughly means “You don’t have to be Papineau.” Louis-Joseph Papineau was seen as a man of great intelligence. He was a gifted orator, and the public hung onto his every word. Papineau’s manor in Montebello, which he had a built in 1850, is featured on the packaging.
This cheese is available from the cheese maker and at speciality grocery stores and cheese shops.
