Our Story

Since 2011, Fromagerie Kapuskoise has been a dream in the making for François Nadeau.

​

While travelling in Asia—where cheeses were scarce—François decided to pursue cheese making so he would never have to go without it. Motivated by his newfound passion, he completed a basic cheese making course in Saint-Hyacinthe (Québec) in 2013, followed by in-depth training in France that following year.

​

Upon François’ return to Canada, he focused on all the other elements to make his dream a reality—including finding and renovating a site in Kapuskasing in Northern Ontario, researching loans and grants, and purchasing and obtaining permits from government agencies.

​

More than a decade later, Fromagerie Kapuskoise proudly showcases their delicious artisan products at numerous retailers in Ontario and in their cheese care packages shipped throughout Canada.
