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. |
