It's probably no surprise to most of you that I'm a big fan of cheese.

We have our fair share of great cheese makers here in northern Ontario — and for this week's edition of Northern Nosh, I'm going to introduce you to a relative newcomer that sells beautiful, French-style cheese.

I chatted with Denis Nadeau, father of cheese maker François Nadeau, to find out how the family business started.
