Le Migneron de Charlevoix
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.
