Tasting Notes:

Cheval Noir de l'Isle is a distinctive semi-soft cheese from Québec's Île-aux-Grues, crafted by Fromagerie de l'Île-aux-Grues. This artisanal cheese features a delicate bloomy rind dusted with vegetable ash, enveloping a creamy, pale interior. Its mild, lactic flavour profile offers subtle earthy notes, making it a versatile addition to any cheese board. "Cheval Noir" is a nod to a mythical tale, adding an air of intrigue to its deep-rooted history. According to legend, two locals, experts in the island's equine population, witnessed a mysterious black horse galloping in fear and vanishing into the frigid St Lawrence River.
