Since 1982, Suzanne Latour, a graduate of “L’Institut Techno-logique et Agroalimentaire de St-Hyacinthe”, has labored in the milk industry, managing a herd of 120 Saanen goats, of which 60 are yearlong milk producers.

Her, “Au Clair de Lune” farm is renowned throughout Canada not only for the compliance of its goats, which are ecologically fed, but also for the quantity and quality of the milk it produces.

It was in 1996, that Suzanne started the transformation of the milk production at her own cheese shop, which is located next
to the farm in St-François.

The proximity of the two buildings allows the creation of a
cheese of great quality, for the time between the first milking
and the transformation itself never exceeds 60 hours for a cheese made from pasteurized milk and 16 hours for one
made from raw milk, like the “La Tour St-François”.

Also, goat’s milk, being closest in its nature to maternal milk,
is easily and quickly digested, making its cheese a healthy alternative for people suffering from bovine protein allergies,
and is also a product of superior quality.

Even though La Fromagerie du Vieux St-François is a small yet charming family enterprise, it offers to its clientele a wide variety of products.

For instance, you can find on its list of products such cheeses as: cheddar, feta, cheese spread, curd style… You could find yourself choosing, “Les Bouchées d’Amour”. This soft bodied non-ripened fresh cheese, which is marinated in flavored
grape seed oil (oil which does not congeal in the refrigerator) and covered with spices (herbes de province, chives, garlic
and parsley), is prepared with the utmost loving care as its
name suggests.
