Le fruitier de Montérégie

I've slacked off with my cheese blogging, so you're going to get two installments in two days. There, I've said it. If it doesn't happen you have the right to call me on it.

Le fruitier de Montérégie is a nice light cheese that reminds me a bit of applewood cheddar in texture and dryness. It comes from Saint-Damase, which is a little west of Granby, Québec. Good with grapes and pears. On pasta it got the job done, but it wasn't terribly spectacular in that role. Much better with the fruit. Le fruitier de Montérégie is produced by Damafro, which claims to be one of the top three makes of fine cheese in North America. Inexpensive at around $3.90 per 100 grammes.
