Le Migneron is a medium intensity cheese with a pinkish beige rind and a supple, smooth and unctuous paste. It features a mild fruity and buttery aroma and a nutty, creamy flavour with a long fruity finish.

Le Migneron is named in honour of Anne Migneron, the first wife of the Dufour ancestor in New France. It was introduced in 1995.

Cheesemaker

Founded in 1994, Maison d’affinage Maurice Dufour is one of the first artisanal cheese dairies in Québec. Trained as an agronomist, Maurice Dufour was looking for a way to stay in his native Charlevoix region while earning a living. After a trip to Franche-Comté, France, where he discovered the fruitières — cooperatives for cheese production and processing — he partnered with Laiterie de Charlevoix to create Migneron de Charlevoix. To this day, the wheels are made at the Laiterie and then aged at the Maison d’affinage.
