Phenomenal Fromage Hails from Quebec

Le Chevre Noir is delicious on its own as a snack; but it is also fantastic melted on a burger or folded into a frittata. The cheese gives red meat a sharp kick and creamy eggs a savory tang.

The cheese is a fairly common, but rather hidden gem of a cheese. Its reasonable price and lackluster origin make it easy to overlook, but its taste and texture are extraordinary.

It is a raw milk goat’s cheese from Quebec that is aged for one to two years. Wrapped in black wax to guard and add to its moistness, the folks at Murray’s Cheese say it’s made like a cheddar cheese. The semi-firm block has a flavor that matures and unfolds on your palate like wine. It is fruity and earthy simultaneously, and the taste seems to linger for quite long. There are notes of vanilla and nuts that make the cheese full bodied--a delight any time.
