A Canadian Original. Named for a Legend.

Grey Owl is one of Canada's most celebrated artisan cheeses — and the story behind its name is just as captivating as the cheese itself. It's named after Archibald Belaney, the revolutionary conservationist known as Grey Owl for his deep fascination with Indigenous culture and his tireless advocacy for Canada's wilderness. A fitting tribute for a cheese this special.

Made by Fromagerie Le Détour in Notre-Dame-du-Lac, Quebec, Grey Owl is a stunning ash-ripened goat's milk cheese with a character all its own.
