Kapuskasing Cheese Company Receives Prestigious Award

A Kapuskasing cheese making business has been recognized for their hard work. La Fromagerie Kapuskoise was selected the Community Futures Ontario Entrepreneur Of The Year at a recent event in London, Ontario. Assistant owner Denis Nadeau says they are thrilled to receive the award.

“We didn’t expect the award,” Nadeau said. “When these type of awards are handed out just for Northern Ontario than you know its our region, but this was the South voting for us too. It was a big surprise.”

Nadeau said their business keeps growing all of the time and not just locally with what’s being sold at the grocery store.

“When we go to Toronto and the Royal Winter Fair we can sell 700-800 kilograms in 10 days” he said. “We are considered one of the top cheese makers by some of the chefs across the province. The CN Tower now has our cheese all of the time.”

Nadeau believes that their outside-of-the-box thinking has helped them take their business to the next level.

“What we need is value added products,” he said. “If you don’t have the skills you go out and get training elsewhere. Francois went to France for a year to perfect cheese making.”

La Fromagerie Kapuskoise is located on Government Road.
