L'Ancetre Cheese Factory

Technology driven by tradition

L'Ancetre cheesemakers live by a simple and time honoured philosophy: Offer the best tasting and finest quality organic cheese available, while respecting Mother Nature. You can truly savour the authentic flavour and enjoy the nutritional benefits in every bite. It is this passion, inspired by a love of traditional agriculture, that has made L’Ancêtre Cheese Factory products so popular throughout Canada.

In 1992, a group of 10 dairy farmers had their own ideas about how to work the land. Their determination to return to traditional farming methods based on the ways of their ancestors with consideration for the environment formed the foundation for L’Ancetre. They believed that through these farming practices, they would be able to offer the best quality milk that would result in genuine, wholesome, and traditional flavour for their cheese. That’s how L’Ancêtre Cheese Factory began.

These visionary farmers also understood the importance of incorporating modern trends and technologies into their everyday farming routines. By fusing past and present, they are now able to provide products of the highest quality, made in an environment that adheres to the strictest standards.

L’Ancêtre Cheese Factory proudly offers organic raw (unpasteurized) milk cheese and organic pasteurized cheese.

Coming very soon: Brie!

Back in the spring, I went to the annual health industry convention in Vancouver. I go every year to check out new organic products and to meet with our existing suppliers about upcoming specials. This year, I was very excited when one of our distributors was sampling organic brie from L'Ancetre. The brie was delicious and creamy, and I was a little disappointed to be told after trying it that it wasn't going to be available until the fall. But the fall is finally here, and last week, I saw the announcement that the brie is now available. I am going to put it on my order this week and it should be in stock before November 8th. Cheese lovers, watch our sale page for the brie as soon as it comes into stock!
