Abbaye Saint-Benoit

Location

Nestled in the idyllic Eastern Township on lake Memphrémagog, the Fromagerie de L’Abbaye Saint-Benoît is the only cheese dairy in North America that is run by Benedictine monks. The first cheese created at the Abbey in 1943 was the famed blue Ermite cheese, which is still a celebrated cheese. Since 2000, the Bleu Bénédictin has also garnered several awards, including the Grand Champion in 2000 and the Champion in the blue cheese category in 2002 and again in 2006.
