L’Anc\u00eatre once again stands out from the crowd, winning the CTAQ’s Food Innovation Award 2024 for the first \u201cgrass-fed\u201d certified organic Canadian cheddar!<\/strong><\/p>\n

B\u00e9cancour, November 22, 2024 <\/strong>– L’Anc\u00eatre is proud to announce that yesterday it won the prestigious CTAQ Food Innovation Award 2024 in the New or Improved Products category, sub-category Dairy Products, for its newly certified \u201cgrass-fed\u201d organic cheddar – a first in Canada for the deployment of this logo.<\/p>\n

This logo guarantees that at least 75% of the cows’ feed comes from grass. Combined with organic certification, it assures consumers of the highest standards in terms of farming practices and animal welfare. Agriculture that regenerates the soil, contributes to the development of biodiversity and helps mitigate climate change.<\/p>\n

L’Anc\u00eatre launched its first product bearing the label last September, the 325g Mild Unpasteurized Cheddar. Medium cheddar will be officially launched in the coming week, followed by old cheddar in February and extra old cheddar in September 2025 (following their aging cycle).<\/p>\n

L’Anc\u00eatre would like to highlight the collaboration of the five organic farms that have obtained grass-fed certification: Ferme Liclerc, Ferme Gonzales, Ferme Saumoni\u00e8re, Ferme Pocatoise and Ferme Marianne Landry, who share our values and surpass the requirements of organic certification. These producers feed their cows a maximum of grass, so that they produce milk even richer in essential fats, enabling them to produce a distinctive, high-quality cheese.<\/p>\n

She also thanks her invaluable collaborators, including Les Producteurs de lait du Qu\u00e9bec, Dairy Farmers of Canada for developing the certification, and Ecocert, the independent, accredited certifier who runs the rigorous organic audit system for the \u201cGrass-fed\u201d certification.<\/p>\n

According to Pascal D\u00e9silets, President and CEO: \u201cThis achievement is in line with our mission to offer Canadians quality dairy production that contributes to their health, while respecting nature and animal welfare, and promoting sustainable and responsible agriculture that reduces the effects of climate change\u201d.<\/p>\n
