BÉCANCOUR, Friday, November 3, 2017 – Fromagerie L’Ancêtre, Canada’s largest organic cheese producer, is having a very successful fall, winning multiple awards at two major competitions today in Toronto. The company took home five prizes at both the British Empire Cheese Show and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair.

Pascal Désilets, President of Fromagerie L’Ancêtre, comments: “We are very proud to have such passionate artisans showcasing the company and our products in Canada and internationally! After receiving a flurry of awards at the Global Cheese Awards in the United Kingdom last September, we are now being recognized by our neighbours in Ontario. Congratulations to all those who have contributed, for over 25 years now, to the innovation and success of our company!”

Swiss Emmental and butter steal the show!

Several Fromagerie L’Ancêtre products caught the jury’s attention at the British Empire Cheese Show. Among them, Swiss Emmental, salted butter and unsalted butter garnered top honours. L’Ancêtre’s butter was named Best Butter of 2017, winning the prize for a second year in a row.
