Grey Owl is a striking ash covered pasteurized goat milk cheese.
The edible dark vegetable ash rind contrasts beautifully against the snowy white uncooked paste that is quite dense. The fresh crumbly texture is quite smooth and creamy in the mouth with a sweet tangy nutty flavor.
Grey Owl cheese pairs well with a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.
Grey Owl is produced by Fromagerie Le Détour located in Notre-Dame-Du-Lac, Québec in the region of Lac Témiscouata near the New Brunswick border. Grey Owl cheese is named after a legendary conservationist,
who inhabited the region of Témiscouata; Archie Belaney who was known under his adopted Ojibwe name “Grey Owl”.
The milk for Grey Owl cheese comes from Saanen Goats, a Swiss breed of dairy goats.
