The Wakusimi is named after a river situated south of Fauquier and Moonbeam: two townships located East of Kapuskasing. This pressed cow’s milk cheese is beautifully sprinkled with vegetables ashes. It has a rich flavor and slightly dry texture.
This cheese pairs very nicely with a bit of jam or charcuterie on a cheese platter.
Wakusimi was created in 2022 to honor Fauquier and Moonbeam’ centennials.
