When they worked up an appetite during a recent planning session, here’s the cheese they dove into for lunch:<\/p>\n

Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese<\/a>: Hard and Semi-Hard, two impressive cheeses,\u00a0the first like a Gruyere, the second like a Gouda, produced by Shep Ysselstein, a young chessemaker, in southwestern Ontario.<\/p>\n

Fromagerie Fritz Kaiser<\/a>: Tomme du Haut-Richelieu, a lovely washed-rind, goat-milk cheese from one of Quebec’s artisan-cheese pioneers.<\/p>\n

Brillat-Savarin<\/a>: A luscious triple-cream Brie with a truffle from France was devoured with much smacking of the lips.<\/p>\n

Fromagerie Le D\u00e9tour<\/a>: The distinctive Grey Owl\u2014with its dark ash rind\u2014is sweet, tangy and creamy, a terrific example of the high standard of goat-milk-cheese production in Quebec.<\/p>\n

Fromagerie de l’Abbaye Saint-Beno\u00eet<\/a>: Bleu B\u00e9n\u00e9dictin, a Canadian classic made under the supervision of Benedictine monks in the Eastern Townships of Quebec.<\/p>\n

\u00c9poisses Berthaut<\/a>: An extraordinary washed-rind cow’s milk cheese with a natural red tint from Burgundy in France is too powerful for some, worshiped by others. Ours came to us courtesy of Glen Echo Fine Foods<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
