Best Ontario Cheeses

Local artisanal creations are appearing on the handsomest cheese boards in town

What: Evanturel from Thornloe Cheese Why: Creamy and sweet with an earthy note of mushrooms, this cow’s milk cheese with a bloomy rind has a morbier-esque streak of vegetable ash that’s French in spirit but Canadian at heart. Where: About Cheese, 483 Church St., 416-925-8659.

What: Burrata from Bella Casara Why: Oozing its rich centre of cream-bound curds, this truly local cheese—it’s made in Vaughan—only needs good olive oil, sea salt and a spoon. Where: The Village Cheesemonger, 171 East Liberty St., No. 155, 647-347-4003.

What: Toscano from Monforte Dairy Why: Cheese Boutique’s Afrim Pristine ages Ruth Klahsen’s pioneering sheep’s milk formaggio for 15 months, which amplifies the bold, fruity flavours and crumble factor. Where: Cheese Boutique, 45 Ripley Ave., 416-762-6292.
