This week on With Bowl and Spoon, meet François Nadeau, the owner of Ontario's northern-most cheese company Fromagerie Kapuskoise Artisan Cheese, located in Kapuskasing, Ontario. François shares his journey into the world of cheese-making, which began during his travels in Asia where he discovered there was a serious lack of cheese. This experience made him realize how much he really needed cheese in his life! He signed up for preliminary training in Quebec, and did his intensive training in France. François discusses the challenges and triumphs he faced while establishing his shop in northern Ontario. He talks about the efforts to keep the terroir of the cheese through the naming process, which includes native names of places and landmarks like rivers and lakes.

At this year's Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto that just ended November 10th, François took home 5 awards for his cheeses, including a first place for his Fresh Chèvre Frais.

This episode offers a delightful blend of culinary insight, audio cheese tasting, and personal anecdotes that highlight the passion and dedication behind Fromagerie Kapuskoise.
