Bonnechere

The rugged Bonnechere River and the mysterious Bonnechere Caves are unique landmarks of the Ottawa Valley — and our Bonnechere cheese reflects the character of the region. A distinctive feature is the toasted rind, prepared over an open flame before aging. This traditional Basque technique imparts a delicious caramel and smoky essence that permeates the body of the cheese, balancing its tangy, fruity notes. Made with raw ewe’s milk, Bonnechere is a semi-firm, expressive cheese with a striking mahogany rind and pale yellow interior, perfect for tasting on its own or as part of a cheese board.
