A Québec Cheese Honoured on the International Stage

Fromagerie Bergeron is proud to announce that its Louis Cyr cheese was named category winner for aged Gouda (6 to 12 months) at the prestigious SIAL Canada International Cheese Competition, held in Toronto. This latest honour brings the total number of awards for this standout Québec-made cheese to 16, a reflection of the family-run company’s passion and expertise.

Made from milk from cows primarily fed dry hay, Louis Cyr stands out with its slightly crumbly yet creamy texture, and rich notes of caramel, fresh hazelnuts, and dried fruit.

Louis Cyr: A Delicious Tribute to a Quebec Hero

Named after Louis Cyr, the legendary strongman and national icon, this cheese embodies the strength, character, and bold spirit of Québec. Through this creation, Fromagerie Bergeron aims to share the richness of artisanal Québec cheeses with the world.

Louis Cyr is available at most grocery stores in Québec in the fine cheese section, and can also be purchased directly on our website. In Ontario, look for it at Farm Boy and Metro.
