Great location for those travelling north. Francois was very understanding about our flexible timeline and even opened up his store early so we could sample some of his delicious cheese! Would highly recommend those looking for a one night stay while travelling across Ontario!

The Fromagerie Kapuskoise is a dream that started to take form in 2011. While traveling in Asia, where cheeses were scarce, François Nadeau decided he wanted to pursue cheesemaking so he would never have to go without it. His newfound passion had first brought him to Saint-Hyacinthe (Québec) in 2013 for basic training followed by in-depth training in France in 2014. Upon his return to Canada, the Fromagerie Kapuskoise project became a reality! To this day, our cheese facility proudly specializes in artisan products, meaning a greater attention to detail throughout the cheese making process from the reception of the milk to packaging. At our cheese facility and store, you'll find cheese made using traditional French methods and local whole milks: cow, sheep, and goat. We also produce our canadian classic - curds. We are conveniently located on the Trans-Canada Highway, an ideal spot for a one-night stopover during your travels. In case you ever need it, we are also right next to an RV dealership, Kapuskasing VR! Depuis 2011, la Fromagerie Kapuskoise est un rêve en devenir pour François Nadeau. Lors d’un voyage en Asie, où les fromages étaient rares, François a décidé de se lancer dans la fabrication de fromages pour ne plus avoir à s’en passer. Motivé par sa nouvelle passion, il a suivi un cours de base en fromagerie à Saint-Hyacinthe, au Québec, en 2013, puis une formation approfondie en France l’année suivante. À son retour au Canada, François s’est concentré sur tous les autres éléments nécessaires à la réalisation de son rêve, notamment la recherche et la rénovation d’un site à Kapuskasing, dans le Nord de l’Ontario, la recherche de prêts et de subventions, ainsi que l’achat et l’obtention de permis auprès des organismes gouvernementaux. En production depuis 2015, la Fromagerie Kapuskoise est fière de présenter ses délicieux produits artisanaux chez de nombreux détaillants en Ontario et dans ses colis de fromage qu’elle expédie dans tout le Canada. Nous sommes idéalement situés à proximité de la Transcanadienne, un endroit idéal pour passer une nuit lors d'un voyage. Au cas où vous en auriez besoin, nous sommes également à côté d'un concessionnaire de VR, Kapuskasing VR.
