One of the most notable tourist attractions in Quebec City, Canada, is the Ch\u00e2teau Frontenac<\/a>. The luxury hotel has a rich, beautiful history: Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and others met there to discuss strategies of World War II. Alfred Hitchcock shot his 1953 film I Confess<\/cite> in the building. But the landmark has just leapt in importance by several orders of magnitude (at least for us) with a $70 million renovation and the construction of 1608: a beautiful, fancy new wine and cheese bar featuring entirely local cheeses.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuebec cheeses have become a must-do when visiting,\u201d says Amelie Tendland, a local cheesemonger and the hotel\u2019s cheese consultant, in an interview with Traveler<\/cite> magazine<\/a>. \u201cThere are approximately 400 cheeses in Quebec, and over 200 are local.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"1608<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Certainly because of its age-old French-influenced culture, this Canadian province has become quite well known for its cheeses. There are over 100 cheesemongers in the province, more than any other in Canada. To join the cheesy Quebecois ranks, you need only \u201cpassion, memory, learning the trades, and tasting,\u201d according to Tendland.<\/p>\n

A wide variety of cheeses come from this region, ranging from raw-milk blues to sheep\u2019s milk cheeses with stinky rinds. Due to FDA regulations, many of these award-winning cheeses are not allowed in the United States, but that doesn’t mean they’re not delicious. See some notable examples here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So where does one even begin with Quebec cheeses?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are great and exciting cheeses from all different regions in Quebec,\u201d says Tendland. But she believes two cheesemakers in particular deserve attention.<\/p>\n

The first is Laiterie Charlevoix<\/a>. Since they began in 1948, they’ve been producing cheeses from their own breed of cow, which they raise on their own farm. This cow produces milk with a higher fat and protein content, giving their cheeses a rich, unique flavor.<\/p>\n

The second is Fromagerie du Presbytere<\/a>. Known for their award-winning Bleu D\u2019Elizabeth cheese, the company has been managed by the same family for four generations. They focus on raising their cows in the best environment possible in order to create the best cheeses. They are an entirely organic farm, and have been since the 1980s.<\/p>\n

\"1608<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

All of these cheeses, as well as many others, can be tried at the 1608 bar in the Chateau Frontenac.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning a trip to Quebec soon or looking for a place to experience great cheese, be sure to add 1608 to your itinerary. They\u2019re well equipped and ready to show you the great, local cheeses of their region.<\/p>\n
