L'Étoile Bleue de Saint-Rémi is an artisanal
sheep-milk blue cheese fabricated by Fromagerie Du Charme located in
Saint-Rémi-de-Tingwick in the Appalachian mountain area in the Centre-du-Québec
region. Young entrepreneur Olivier Ducharme has recently acquired the Fromagerie
from what was formerly Bergerie Jeannine.
L'Étoile Bleue de Saint-Rémi is a
lovely blue-veined cheese made from thermized sheep-milk cheese. It is produced
in a small cylindrical 1.5 KG wheel that is distinguished by its blue aluminum
foil covering.
L'Étoile Bleue de Saint-Rémi has a white, crumbly yet creamy texture, with lovely veins of blue-green mold. The overall flavour sensation starts off slightly mild, then a sweet fruity taste, ending with a moderately sharp tang.
What I like about L'Étoile Bleue is that even though it is made from sheep milk like the world renowned Roquefort blue cheeses, it is not as salty.
L'Étoile Bleue could be a great addition to any salad. It pairs nicely with a dry white Jurançon.
Fromagerie Du Charme is currently producing two excellent cheeses made from ewes milk, from recipes that he has retained from the former owners; L'Étoile Bleue de Saint-Rémi and Le Friesian. They also produce two new cow-milk cheeses; Hermann and La Tablée.
