Fleur en Lait

Fleur en Lait
Pasteurized cow
Glengarry Fine Cheeses
Lancaster, Ontario

Fleur en lait, a newcomer to the fine cheese scene, was only recently introduced in January 2009. Milk from Ayershire cows that graze on the same site where the Margaret Morris’ cheese factory is located, gives a rich yellow colour and buttery texture. Made in the style of a Saint Paulin, Fleur en Lait is a semi soft cheese that is aged a maximum of five months. It has a bright orange, washed, edible rind and a sweet, fruity flavour with a rustic aroma. Pair with spicy, off dry whites such as Reisling or Gewurzträminer.
