Ciel de Charlevoix Whole milk from a single herd is used to produce this creamy, blue-veined, semi-soft cheese. The aroma is mild, slightly fungal, while the flavour is subtle, but still distinctively ‘blue’. The interior is cream coloured with both green and blue veining. This cheese was created in 2000 but was recently crowned champion in the 2009 Canadian Grand Prix Cheese Competition held in Montreal. It is versatile to be eaten alone after a meal, or used in salad, or on bruschetta. Try it with dry fruit, chocolate, a sweet liqueur, Riesling, Cabernet Franc, or possibly an Australian Shiraz.
