Non-Pasteurized Milk? This Way!
In 1998, a man decided to bring back a herd of dairy cow on the archipelago of the Îles de la Madeleine. He did not want to compete with the other large dairy farms of the Gaspésie and the Maritimes, so he chose the Canadienne cow breed, which is a small Canadian black cow. He wanted to produce cheese and feed his cows with the hay that grows on the Islands, while giving another boost to agriculture on the archipelago.
He was finally able to produce his first cheese, the Pied-de-Vent, and the Tomme des Demoiselles afterwards. These two cheeses are made with whole raw milk, from the same herd.
