Flavors of Côte-du-Sud (Bas Saint-Laurent / Chaudière-Appalachians)
This firm cheese is an homage to the island agriculture of Isle-aux-Grues. The slightly milky scent with sulfur notes immediately brings to mind the hay of this wild wet plain connecting Isle-aux-Grues to Ile-aux-Oyes, known as the Haut Marais or high marsh. For more than 400 years, the island's residents have lived in a close connection with the high marsh. This cheese has a lot of character and is a unique concentration of the best the island has to offer.
Never has a firm cheese had such a good buttery flavor. Its texture is supple and soft with a long-lasting flavor. A double treat!
The name Haut-Marais refers to the typical environment of the island where the long grasses grow in the tideland between Isle-aux-Grues and Isle-aux-Oyes. In the past, this hay was used to feed the animals.
