Pacific Rock is a
firm, washed rind, pasteurised cow-milk cheese from La Maison Alexis de Portneuf
located in Saint Raymond de Portneuf near Quebec City.
Pacific Rock is a firm, aged, farm-style, pressed cheese similar
to Red Leicester cheese from England.
Pacific Rock has an orange coloured washed-rind sprinkled with a
white powdery dusting. The paste has an eye-catching rich deep-orange hue and a
firm texture very similar to cheddar cheese but more moist and crumbly. Pacific
Rock has a slightly nutty, caramel, mellow flavour with a citrus tangy finish.
Pacific Rock is a versatile cheese; it can be
added to salads and sauces, it melts beautifully and is a colourful addition to
any cheese plate. Pacific Rock pairs well with a brown ale or a full-bodied
white like Muscadet or Chenin Blanc.
Pacific Rock gets its name from Canada's beautiful West Coast,
which is bordered by steep cliffs that drop into the Pacific Ocean. La Maison
Alexis de Portneuf's founding ancestor, Alexis
Cayer had traveled to the west coast on the Canadian Pacific train and was
captivated by the breathtaking landscape.
La Maison Alexis de Portneuf is committed to preserve the quality and authentic character of every specialty cheese they produce. The
World Champion Le Cendrillon, La Sauvagine, Saint-Honoré, La Roche Noire
are but a few, among the vast selection of cheese they produce.
