Fromagerie Tournevent
Fromagerie Tournevent is located in Chesterville, Quebec, Canada and began as a small cottage industry in 1979. Our agrarian roots remain the central core of our enterprise, philosophically, culturally and economically as we’ve grown from a handful of friends to a large family.
The challenge has been to adapt and integrate our artisanal cheese maker ways with modern technology as well as environmental, nutritional and food safety concerns without upsetting the cart. Tournevent today produces a variety of award winning goat milk cheeses and butters. In French, a “tournevent” symbolizes a “weathervane”.
Our daily, fresh goat milk supply comes from two cooperatives located in the heartland of Quebec’s Appalachian dairy country with verdant pastures bordered by maple forests. The lay of the land, the free-ranging goats, combined with the traditional French culinary culture and the art of our cheese maker, unite … the essence of what the French call “terroir”.
Tournevent still makes all its goat cheeses in the traditional way in double vats, pasteurized at low temperature to preserve the nutritional qualities of the goat’s milk as well as to bring out the deeper, more complex flavors inherent in the milk source. This fundamental respect for goat’s milk is carried through all our production methods, aging techniques and unique packaging.
