La Fromagerie Atwater is a retail store in famous Atwater Market in Montreal. We have been here since 1972 and have become the reference in everything that concerns cheese. We got involved with Quebec artisan cheeses from the very beginning and played a very important role in helping to develop and promote them, both at our counter and through distribution, to customers, restaurants, caterers and other boutiques everywhere.
Now
Today, Quebec artisan cheeses have reached another step. They now have the maturity, reputation, variety and quality to move outside the province of Quebec and (why not!) outside Canada. Production of artisan cheeses in the United States meets the interest of fine foods lovers. Offer your customers a even wider selection with the best cheeses from «La Nouvelle-France»!
What is artisan cheese?
Artisan cheese is made in small quantities, usually on the farm with the milk from one single herd. It can be raw milk or pasteurized. It usually follows slow-food philosophy. It often is organic although not always certified. It is made in accordance with the region’s specificities. It varies in texture, colour and flavour from one season to another, even from one cheesemaker to another within the same farm.
Who am I?
My name is Alain Besré. Some say I am the reference in cheese all over Canada. Some call me the «godfather of cheese». Whatever... I just love cheese.I have been learning, teaching, selling, distributing, discovering and loving cheese for over 25 years. I was named «Chevalier de la Confrérie du Taste Fromage de France».
