Chomp into fresh, squeaky cheese curds at Sudbury's Nickel City Cheese

Nickel City Cheese opened in 2018. They use local milk to produce roughly 150 kilograms of cheese every day.

One of my favourite foods in the world is a fresh, squeaky cheese curd.

It's essential in a good poutine. But really, I like eating curds just by themselves. It was one of the things missing from the food scene down in Windsor. So when I moved to Sudbury in August, I was thrilled to discover a company churning them out daily.

Nickel City Cheese opened just two years ago in the Greater Sudbury community of Chelmsford. I spoke with owner Nicole Paquin about her journey from civil servant to cheese maker.
