Oka is a type of cheese produced by Agropur, a prominent dairy cooperative based in Canada. Originating from the Trappist monks of Oka Abbey in Quebec, this cheese is known for its distinct, nutty flavor and semi-soft texture. It has a washed rind which helps to develop its characteristic pungency and aromatic quality.
Agropur, based in Quebec, is one of Canada's largest dairy cooperatives. The cooperative was founded in 1938 and has grown significantly over the decades. Agropur processes and distributes a wide variety of dairy products, including cheese, milk, and yogurt.
