HOUDE LE PATRIARCHE from Quebec.
Inspired by the ‘Maroilles ’ cheese, this
new creation is made of cow milk and characterized by rustic aromas, a creamy texture, and a nice mix of fruity and warm butter taste. Its ivory soft paste is covered with an orange-colored washed rind. A must for cheese lovers that appreciate tasty and refined cheeses.

🧀 Happy International Cheese Day! 🧀

Today we’re celebrating one of life’s greatest pleasures — cheese!

From creamy Brie and fresh Burrata to bold Blue cheeses and perfectly aged Cheddars, every wheel, wedge, and crumble tells a story of tradition, craftsmanship, and flavour.

At Old City Cheese & Market, we’re proud to bring together exceptional cheeses from right here in Canada and from around the world. Whether you’re building a charcuterie board, planning a picnic, or simply looking for the perfect snack, there’s always a new favourite waiting to be discovered.

Stop by and celebrate International Cheese Day with us. Ask our team what’s tasting especially good this week — we love talking cheese almost as much as we love eating it!
