This bespoke culinary experience can be combined with other tours. For those who enjoy dairy products, the tastings are mini portions in different neighbourhood cheese monger shops, markets and family run business. I also offer discoveries to the Eastern townships, 2 hour drive to meet some of the producers. During this tour we will go in depth into the history of diary production including tastings of cheeses from the Canadian cow.
The largest dairy producing province in Canada, the province of Québec with around 360,000 dairy cows, 137 dairy manufacturing establishment, 5,120 dairy farms many around the Montreal regions. This is 37% if Canada’s diary production. With over 700 different types of cheeses including goat, sheep & cows milk. Climate conditions, pluviometry and soil have always given Quebec advantages in the production of grasses and pastures. Quebec’s abundant supply of high-quality forage has always been a key asset in its milk production.
During the warmer months it is artisanal ice cream, gelato spots located in fantastic and unique Montreal neighbourhoods. Locals will travel long distances and wait patiently for a morsel of these wonderful Montreal delights. Ice cream, gelato, granita, sorbets with unique Montreal flavours are hard to resist. Imagine a soft ice-cream that tastes like apple pie, maple walnut crunch. You will meet the Montreal personalities with their passion to create magical dreamy creamy delights.
