The Rustic Artisanal Cheese

The Paillasson from l'Isle d'Orléans in Quebec is an artisanal frying cheese known for its versatility and should be enjoyed hot! You can prepare it in various ways, such as pan-searing it over medium heat, grilling it on your BBQ, using it for grilling cheese on the upper part of a raclette stove, or even baking it in the oven for a delightful baked feta experience. For added flavor, top it with honey, balsamic glaze, or pesto. This cheese holds a special place in history as it was the first cheese ever made in the Americas, back in 1635!

Did you know you can make a quick Raclette using a cast iron pan (or any oven-ready pan)? Simply add... Sliced baked potatoes, our delicious Migneron de Charlevoix cheese, sliced, and top with jambon blanc. For an extra twist, consider using baked feta for a unique flavor. Finish with herbs and enjoy the cheese versatility! Bake until the cheese is melted. Serve with onion confit or red pepper jelly for a delightful pairing, perfect for grilling cheese lovers.

Place our 100% sheep Feta in an oven-ready dish, drizzle with olive oil, and bake at 380F for about 15 minutes for a delicious baked feta experience. Top it off with fresh cracked black pepper and fragrant basil for added flavor. For a fun twist on this cheese versatility, serve it with balsamic glaze, honey, or cherry tomato jam on a crusty baguette. Alternatively, you can incorporate this grilled cheese into your favorite pasta dish, such as spaghetti Bolognese or cacciatore.
