Flavors of Côte-du-Sud (Bas Saint-Laurent / Chaudière-Appalachians)
This firm, washed rind cheese has a smooth, dark straw yellow rind with a firm texture. It is washed with L’Étoffe du Pays, a local "keeping" beer which gives it a pleasing, mildly herbaceous and yeasty flavor.
Even non-beer drinkers will be tempted by its unique mild taste.
It's completely appropriate to name this cheese "Le Houblonneux" (hoppy) since it's soaked and washed with local Étoffe du Pays ale from the artisanal Côte-du-Sud de Montmagny et les îles microbrewery.
This strong beer (9% alcohol) with notes of plums, raisins and dried fruit, imparts its amber nuances to the rind, creating an irresitible cheese.
