Le Cendrillon Named Best Cheese in the World

Food & Spirits: Le Cendrillon (The Cinderella) from La Maison Alexis de Portneuf has been given the prestigious honor of being named the Best Cheese in the World.

Le Cendrillon won the World Cheese Awards 2009, competing against 2,440 cheeses from 34 countries. The top cheese was named after winning in all categories.

The wining cheese is named for its ash-covered soft surface. The ripened soft goat cheese is described as having a sharp and mouth-filling flavor, which is unlike many of the mild goat cheese spreads that are commonly served.

La Maison Alexis de Portneuf describes the cheese as a "vegetable ash-covered, soft surface-ripened soft goat cheese with a semi-strong, slightly sour taste that becomes stronger with age."

Produced in St-Raymond-de-Portneuf, west of Quebec, Le Cendrillon is available across Canada and in New York at Garden of Eden Gourmet Markets. It sells at the factory for roughly $5 for 125 grams at the boutique located at the factory.
