Cheese Lovers Rejoice: Three Local Cheesemakers in the Spotlight on Our Menu!

What’s the one delicious ingredient that mac & cheese, burgers and poutine all have in common? Cheese, of course!

Our Executive Chef, François Côté-Lemieux, carefully selects the finest regional products for his menu—like Wagyu beef from Ferme Levaluc, fresh vegetables from Cultures du Moment, and seafood from Marché de Poisson Sherbrooke. And, as you might have guessed… plenty of locally crafted cheeses! Ferme Levaluc, les légumes frais de Cultures du Moment, les poissons et fruits de mer du Marché de Poisson Sherbrooke The Eastern Townships are renowned for their exceptional cheeses, many of which have won international awards for their outstanding quality. Here’s a closer look at three incredible local cheesemakers whose creations we proudly feature in our dishes—without moderation!

Beyond Ice Cream: Laiterie de Coaticook

When you think of Laiterie de Coaticook, its famous ice cream probably comes to mind first. But… did you know they also make cheese there?

Founded in 1940 by three entrepreneurs, the dairy originally produced only milk, chocolate milk, and cream. Just two years later, ice cream was introduced, quickly becoming the company’s signature product. It wasn’t until the late 1970s that the Laiterie shifted away from milk and cream production to focus entirely on frozen desserts and cheddar. Since then, their cheese selection has continued to grow and improve. Today, you can notably enjoy their aged cheddar, mozzarella, and even goat cheese—a delicious expansion of their dairy expertise!

A Hidden Gem: Fromagerie Proulx

This is the kind of place only locals know about—but it’s always packed! Located in Saint-Georges-de-Windsor, this third-generation family-run fromagerie produces some of the best cheese curds in the region—if not the very best! Made fresh every day using traditional methods and high-quality Quebec milk, its cheese is a true local treasure.

A visit to its shop is a treat in itself. You can sample whey (the first stage of cheese-making), fresh cheese, cheese curds, and aged wheels. Even better, the production area is fully glassed-in, allowing you to watch milk transform into cheese before your eyes. Just be sure to arrive on time—cheese is made on a precise schedule, down to the minute!
