It’s Video Wednesday again!

We take you to the Eastern Townships of Québec to visit Fromagerie La Station de Compton, an organic farmstead cheese producer best known for its award-winning Alfred Le Fermier. The clip is a tad promotional at the beginning but it does provides a nice introduction to the fourth generation of the Bolduc family, their 170-hectare farm, their 70 Holstein cows and their delicious cheeses.

Cheese educator Julia Rogers of Cheese Culture toured the cheesemaking operation for Le Gourmet TV. Click here and here for a two-part video.

Fromagerie La Station will be among the many cheesemakers at The Great Canadian Cheese Festival on June 4-5 at Picton, Ontario, thanks to Plaisirs Gourmets. Julia Rogers will lead two tutored tastings, Cheese Tasting 101 and Taste of Québec.

A taste of Oka more than 50 years ago—when the Trappists still made it—sparked in me a lifelong love for cheese. That love has ripened into full-blown passion as more and more mouth-watering cheeses are being churned out by artisan, farmstead and specialty cheesemakers across Canada. I’d like to share that passion by making CheeseLover.ca an informative and entertaining meeting place for all who love cheese, especially #CDNcheese.
