Savour Canadian Cheeses

For recipes, visit allyouneedischeese.ca



Sponsored by Dairy Farmers of Canada

Five Brothers • Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese

Woodstock, Ontario • gunnshillcheese.ca

Five Brothers is a cow’s milk cheese that combines traits from Gouda

and a Swiss variety called Appenzeller. At eight months old it has a fi rm

yet creamy texture and rich diverse fl avours with sweeter overtones.

Distinctive eyes are scattered throughout the body of the cheese. All of

the milk to produce this unique cheese comes from the family’s dairy farm.

It is named after the fi ve Ysselstein brothers, one of whom is the owner

and cheesemaker at Gunn’s Hill.

Winner, Firm Category, 2013 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix

Mountainoak Farmstead Premium Dutch Aged Gouda

Mountainoak Cheese Ltd.

New Hamburg, Ontario • mountainoakcheese.ca

After emigrating from Holland in 1996, the van Bergeijks started dairy

farming, however their love of cheesemaking soon had them making

cheese for their own consumption. Luckily, with encouragement from

family and friends, Mountainoak Cheese opened their doors in the fall

of 2012. Starting off with the fresh raw milk from the family’s herd of

Holsteins and then thermalizing it creates the full fl avour in this cheese,

which is slightly sweet and nutty. The hint of caramel on the fi nish is

beginning to develop, characteristic of longer aged Gouda styles.

Tomme des Demoiselles • La Fromagerie du Pied-de-Vent

Îles-de-la-Madeleine, Québec • fromagesduquebec.qc.ca

Aged between six to eight months, this fi rm washed rind cheese is made

with thermalized milk from a single herd of Canadienne cows. The fodder

grown on these remote islands gives the cheese the distinctive salt water

infl uenced character. Fresh cream and brine are part of the lovely aromas

that greet you while the resulting fl avour is fruity. Two small hills on the

island were the inspiration for the name of this cheese.

Finalist, Firm Category, 2013 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix

Ask for these fi ne cheeses in Toronto or Niagara specialty cheese stores like:

13th Street Winery, Alex Farms, All the Best, Cheese Boutique, Cheese Emporium,

Cheese Secrets, Cheese Shoppe On Locke, Chez Fromage, Chris’ Cheese Mongers and Scheffl er’s

Deli & Cheese (St. Lawrence Market), Cheese Shoppe, La Fromagerie, Leslieville Cheese Market,
