L’ANCÊTRE BALUCHON AND ORGANIC BUTTERS

STAND OUT IN A PAN-CANADIAN COMPETITION

Bécancour, november 16, 2021 – Pascal Désilets, President and General Manager of L’Ancêtre Cheese Factory, is pleased to announce that the famous organic cheese, Le Baluchon, a semi-soft cheese surface-ripened for a minimum of 45 days, as well as the organic pastured butters, won major awards a few days ago at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. This prestigious agricultural industry competition, which has been held in Toronto every year for 100 years, showcases Canada’s best cheeses through a segment of the event sponsored by METRO.

Pascal Désilets was really proud that organic dairy products stood out in this competition. « Barely a year ago, we took over the production of Baluchon according to its original recipe and today we won a second prize in a national competition. This is an important recognition of our cheese expertise and a great success for our team who successfully met this important challenge. And what pride for our butters made with organic cream from cows that graze and feed mainly on grass! Once again, they have been ranked among the best, » said the president of the Centre-du-Québec company with enthusiasm.
