Alfred le Fermier

Alfred le Fermier is a Canadian cheese made with raw milk from Holstein cows. The cheese is produced in Compton, Québec on the Bolduc family farm. The cheese is named after Alfred Bolduc, the founder of the farm. Alfred le fermier, meaning Alfred the farmer, has an orange-colored washed rind and ripens on wooden boards between 8 and 18 months.

Its texture is firm, yet supple, and the aromas are reminiscent of the forest and mushrooms. The flavors are complex, with notes of honey, wood, hazelnuts, and fruit. It is recommended to pair it with apple ciders, lagers, and medium-bodied, fruity wines.
