In 10 short years, the Morin family of Fromagerie du Presbytère have achieved levels of success that are unmatched. Year after year, the cheeses produced by Jean and Dominic have won accolades and many honours. In 2010, I wrote about Le Bleu d'Elizabeth which since has been awarded the Caseus Emeritus at the 2013 Sélection Caseus (founded in 1999, this is a provincial contest for Québec cheeses).
Another cheese from Fromagerie du Presbytère is Louis d'Or, a wash-rind cheese named for the Morin family farm . Louis d'Or was awarded the Caseus Emeritus in 2012 as well as being awarded the 2014 Grand Champion at the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix.......and a year later, Laliberté (pictured above), the latest addition to the repertoire at Fromagerie du Presbytère has won the 2015 Grand Champion at the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix. Talk about a home run!
The farm (Louis d'Or) has been in the Morin family for four generations and the mixed herd of primarily Holstein with a few Jersey's thrown in for good measure, provide the milk that is used for the production of the cheeses. The cheeses are created in what was a former Presbytery which sits in front of the farm...perhaps this is the key to great cheesemaking....being blessed from above!
Laliberté is in stock at C'est Cheese Please!
Bon Appétit!
