🏆 A Record Year for Our Organic Cheddars and Butters: 𝟭𝟲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗬𝗲𝗮𝗿!

The results from The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair are in: we’ve just earned 7 new national awards at one of Canada’s most prestigious dairy competitions.

This impressive streak positions us among the most celebrated cheesemakers in the country for our organic cheeses and butters, 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘀𝗲.

With the majority of these new awards recognizing our organic cheddars, we continue to confirm our leadership in cheddar production, having also won 𝗕𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 in Quebec for the 3rd consecutive year at the Sélection Caseus competition.

Our Organic Unsalted Butter also stood out on the national stage, winning the title of 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗼𝗿𝘆 across all types of butter!

Our Organic Halloumi Named Finalist at the 2025 Food Innovation Awards 🏅🌱

After winning Sélection Caseus 2025 in Quebec last month, our new 𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗺𝗶 continues to shine as a finalist at the prestigious CTAQ 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 - an award we proudly won last year with the launch of our certified grass-fed cow’s milk cheddars!

This is the first certified organic Halloumi in the country, recently launched in Quebec and 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗱𝗮 (!!!). It stands out with its authentic taste, 𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 compared to conventional options, and its 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 on Quebec farms where cows graze on pasture and are raised without pesticides.

Available now in Quebec in L’Ancêtre cheese shops, online, and in multiple retailers (Avril, TAU, La Moisson, Boîte à grains, IGA). Canada-wide launch coming soon… stay tuned!

Second win in a row? 🤞 We’re keeping our fingers crossed!

Did you know that our organic cheeses, produced in Quebec, are celebrated for their quality across Canada? 🥹🇨🇦

This past weekend, our team was at the Toronto Waterfront Marathon, meeting thousands of people passionate about wellness, real food, and choosing products that align with their values. And what makes us the proudest? No matter where we go, Canadians tell us how much they appreciate our Quebec roots: our organic milk, our family-owned farms, and our deep respect for the land.

Our story began over 30 years ago in Bécancour, Quebec, and today, it resonates with people coast to coast who care about where their food comes from. Thanks to your support, what started as a local vision has become a proud Canadian success story.

Thank you for allowing us to continue our mission of creating a better world in every bite. Because behind every piece of cheese, there’s a meaningful choice for the planet, for sustainable agriculture, and for the well-being of our communities. 🧀🌱

Nothing more comforting than a warm bowl of lasagna soup topped with authentic organic mozzarella. 🍅✨

Our secret? A cheese made with just a few simple ingredients and organic milk for a rich taste, creamy texture, and perfect melt in every spoonful.

🏆🌱 Discover our Sélection Caseus 2025 winners… organic cheeses that make Quebec shine!

𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗺𝗶 – 𝗚𝗿𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲

The very first certified organic halloumi in Canada, available in Quebec since May 2025 (and soon across the country). This grilling cheese stands out for its milder, less salty taste compared to others on the market.

𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺-𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 – 𝗥𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗱-𝗙𝗮𝘁 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲 (𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟮𝟬%)

Winner of this category last year as well, this organic cheddar is aged for a minimum of 6 months. With a reduced fat content (18%), it combines lightness and nutritional richness, offering 9 g of protein per 30 g portion. Made with partially skimmed, unpasteurized milk.

𝗢𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 – 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲

Carefully aged for at least 18 months using unpasteurized milk, this cheddar preserves the full aromatic richness of traditionally aged cheese. It stands out with its pronounced nutty flavor and fruity finish. Its smooth yet slightly crumbly texture may contain a few delicate crystals that form naturally during the extended aging process.

We have wonderful memories of this award ceremony, where we celebrated, surrounded by colleagues and fellow artisans, the 3 distinctions earned by our organic cheeses ❤️

Back from the Vancouver Cheese and Meat Festival Canada, where we had the chance to share our organic cheeses with a public that’s increasingly aware of the impact of what ends up on their plate.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with us about organic and sustainable food! 🌱

🍎🥧 Cooking the way it used to be: with whatever was on hand.

At L’Ancêtre, we’re bringing it back with real organic butter, churned and made with nothing but pasture cream.

No shortcuts. Just goodness, from farm to fork.

Three new Caseus Awards for L’Ancêtre! 🏆🏆🏆

We’re so proud to share that 3 of our organic cheeses won at the 25th edition of the prestigious Sélection Caseus competition in Quebec:

Just a few months after its launch, our 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗛𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗺𝗶 (the first certified organic in Canada!) is already making waves, winning the Grilling Cheese category!

Our high in proteins 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗠𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 took home the title in the Reduced Fat Cheese (under 20%) category for the 2nd year in a row!

And finally, our 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗰 𝗘𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮 𝗢𝗹𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗱𝗱𝗮𝗿 earned a 3rd consecutive victory in the Cheddar category!

These awards add to our 4 wins at the American Cheese Society Competition, our win at the Canadian Grand Prix New Product Awards, and the CTAQ Innovation in Food Award this year – further proof of our expertise and mission: creating authentic, sustainable, and delicious organic cheeses.
A big thank you to our amazing team and our passionate dairy farmers. Every bite truly is a better world ❤️🌱

What you don’t always see: the teamwork behind every event 💚

Here’s a proud behind-the-scenes moment as we were packing up one of our booths!

And we’re doing it all over again soon! Next stop: CHFA East in Toronto, September 20–21 where we’ll be reconnecting with retailers, distributors, and partners to share our organic cheeses.

Can’t wait to see you there! 🧀🌱
