Le Fleurmier has the white fuzzy rind typical of bloomy cheeses. Its cream-coloured paste is rich and velvety. It features subtle aromas with earthy buttery notes, and a pleasant mushroomy-buttery taste.
The name of this Camembert type cheese is inspired from the French words for bloomy rind and farmer's cheese. It was introduced by the Laiterie in 2000.
Back in 2000, this unctuous homage to Camembert was one of the cheeses that launched the artisanal cheese movement that now thrives in Québec. It's easy to understand why Le Fleurmier has such staying power—it has a rich & velvety texture plus fruity & nutty flavours without any bitterness in the aftertaste.
