Allegretto - Vache à Maillotte
Allegretto

Recipient of the Caseus Selection in 2004 and 2007

The Quebec fine cheese contest
Le Allegretto is derived entirely from ewe milk. The northern climate of warm days and cold nights work to produce a sweeter grass for the animals to feed on, which results in a type of milk that is unique to Abitibi. This firm cheese has a subtle yet savory taste. The combination of climate and the 120-day aging process produces a taste that is particular and unique to le Allegretto.
