La Fromagerie St-Guillaume\n<\/h1>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In 1940, as they were recovering from a major economic crisis, about fifty milk producers from Saint-Guillaume joined forces to create La Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 Coop\u00e9rative Agricole de Beurrerie de Saint-Guillaume. Together, they built Fromagerie St-Guillaume: a butter and cheese factory that became the driving force of the cooperative. In 1990, the cooperative was renamed Agrilait coop\u00e9rative agricole. Since 2021, following the merger of four agricultural cooperatives into Agiska Coop\u00e9rative, Fromagerie St-Guillaume has been under the management of Agrilait s.e.c., Agiska’s dairy processing unit. <\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Liters upon liters of local milk
\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Our artisan cheesemakers transform more than 40 million liters of milk annually. In addition to meeting the federal requirements of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, we comply with GFSI (Global Food Safety Initiative) standards through our SQF certification. The majority of our cheeses are also certified Kosher* and Halal**.
*Kosher: With the exception of Parmesan, BBQ cheese curds, and BBQ Tortillon, all our cheeses are Kosher Tablet-K certified.
**Halal: Fromagerie St-Guillaume products are manufactured in a facility certified by the Halal Advisory Group. \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Quality before quantity\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

The management team and employees at Fromagerie St-Guillaume are uncompromising when it comes to quality. The cheddaring process for our fresh cheese curds requires us to follow a precise production method, as well as the right percentages of fat and moisture in the product. No way are we increasing the moisture content and selling water! \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

A thriving business\n<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

Agrilait s.e.c. now has about 225 employees. At its Fromagerie St-Guillaume and Fromagerie de l\u2019\u00cele-aux-Grues facilities, it produces around twenty types of exceptionally high-quality cheeses. \n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t

Known for its ability to adapt to the needs of hotels, restaurants, institutions (HRI), and the retail market, our cheeses are available as private labels or under the St-Guillaume brand, in blocks, wheels, cubes, slices, or shredded, in sizes ranging from 60 g to 18 kg.\n\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
