All the cheese

Introduction

In this module, we'll discover all Saint-Albert cheeses and how to use them.

Cheese Curds

Our flagship product is the cheese curds that make a "squeak-squeak" sound - a sign of freshness!

Regular cheese curds are perfect for a snack. We sell them in bags of 200 grams, 400 grams, and 2 kilos.  

Poutine cheese: keeps its texture under hot sauce. Only sold in 2 kilo bags.

The Cheddar Family

All our regular cheddars are sold in formats of 270g, 525g, and 2.27kg:

Mild cheddars (aged 1 to 4 months): Made with pasteurized milk, sold as white, colored, or marbled (the taste is identical).

Medium cheddars (aged 4 to 8 months): Texture still tender but less milky.
Made with unpasteurized milk .

Old cheddars (aged 8 to 16 months): Firmer texture that crumbles a bit. Made with unpasteurized milk  

Extra-old cheddars (aged 16 to 24 months): Made with unpasteurized milk. It has a more intense flavor.

Distinction Collection

Our premium cheeses, all are unpasteurized:  

2 years: firm texture, rich but accessible taste, buttery notes  

3 years: beginning of crumbliness, more developed aromas, slight salty edge  

4 years: presence of crystals, perfect balance between sweetness and intensity  

5 years: crumbly, crystals well present, complex flavors of hazelnut and caramel  

10 years: very dry and crystalline, powerful and long-lasting flavor, to be eaten alone

Other Specialties

Mozzarella (2.15kg): Two kinds, Filata mozzarella and pizza mozzarella.  

It melts uniformly without oiling, good elasticity, ideal for pizzas  

We also sell cheese twists, in 50g bags and 200-gram jars: curly cheese in brine, to be rinsed before eating.

Practical Tips

For a platter: take the cheeses out 30 minutes before, start with the mildest.  

For cooking: younger ones melt better, older ones give more flavor.

Conclusion

All our cheeses are made with 100% Canadian milk, mainly from farms less than 50 km from our cheese factory. Next module we'll talk about our quality and food safety standards.
