Mr. Speaker, it is with immense pride today that we celebrate the triumph of Grey Owl cheese, produced by Le Détour cheese factory in Témiscouata‑sur‑le‑Lac.
This culinary gem was recently crowned the best cheese in Quebec by the jury of the prestigious Sélection Caseus competition, which recognizes the most remarkable creations in Quebec.
In direct competition with 197 other exceptional products from every region in Quebec, Grey Owl, with its creamy, refined and distinctive taste won over the taste buds of a jury made up of 25 experts.
This recognition highlights the excellence of the craftsmanship in the Lower St. Lawrence, as well as the expertise and know-how of the people of Témiscouata, who are the pride of our region.
Congratulations to Ginette Bégin, Mario Quirion and the entire team at Le Détour cheese factory for this culinary masterpiece that showcases the entire Lower St. Lawrence region.
