Fromagerie La Suisse Normande

St. Roch Ouest, Quebec

Type: Brushed bloomy rind, surface ripened, soft, pasteurized cow milk 

Dominant flavours: Super lactic and creamy, strong earthy mushroom aromas but overly powerful in flavour. Flavours are mild and milky with hints of salted butter. 

Description: This stellar cheese from Fromagerie La Suisse Normande in Quebec gets its name from the small village in the Swiss canton of Vaud, where head cheesemaker, Fabienne Guitel, grew up. His wife Freddy, born in Normandy looks after the farm with their 5 children. together they produce some of the finest cheese in Canada.

Pairing notes:  Le Pizy is a versatile cheese to pair with. It’s perfect with light, crisp and bubbly beers such as pilsners or lagers- something delicate so as not to overwhelm the cheese. Try it with our crisp, refreshing and smooth Helles Lager or Italian Pilsner.  The creaminess of the brie is cut by the effervescent lager and sweet malty notes in the beer are highlighted by the cheese. The perfect pairing! An easy-going lager meets an easy going  and delectable brie. The aroma of the cheese is strong enough to accompany our collaboration beer with Great Lakes Brewery West Coast Pale Ale to create a beautiful contrast in flavours.
