Cheval Noir de l’Isle. Is It Cheese, Yellowknife? Yep. Episode 6 🧀🐴 (Halloween special)

Darkness comes in the dead of night… and so does a cheese dusted in black ash. 👻

Cheval Noir de l’Isle comes from Fromagerie de l’Isle-aux-Grues, the same island cheesemakers behind L’Angélique à Marc. It’s named after a local legend: a mysterious black horse galloping across the island that nobody had ever seen before, which then disappears into the St. Lawrence River.

Nothing spooky about the cheese itself, though. It’s made from raw cow’s milk and aged about 60 days. It’s semi-soft with a bloomy rind and a thin coat of vegetable ash, which helps the rind develop evenly. Cut into it and you get an ivory paste against that black rind. It’s milky and supple with just a little tang. And no, the ash is not burnt toast. We don’t put burnt toast on cheese. We put cheese on (lightly!) toasted rye. 🍞

Yes, it pairs with c***r. Apparently everything pairs with c***r. 🍏

Find Cheval Noir de l’Isle at the Farm Store in Kam Lake and at The Pantry downtown, inside Yellowknife Books. Costume not included.

Le 1608! Is It Cheese, Yellowknife? Yep. Episode 5 🧀

This cheese is named after 1608, the year Québec City was founded. It’s made by Laiterie Charlevoix in Baie-Saint-Paul, and for years it was made with milk from Canadienne cows, a heritage breed brought over from France in the 1600s that nearly died out.

Real talk, friends: we did a little fact-checking after filming. The Canadienne herd moved on in 2023, so since January 2024 Le 1608 has been made with Holstein milk. It’s still the same young, alpine-style cheese we love. Also, my lovely wife would like everyone to know it’s Canadienne, not Canadiana. Noted. Forever.

So what’s it like? It’s a firm, washed-rind cheese that’s thermized (gently warmed, not pasteurized). It’s buttery and creamy with a little green-apple tartness, some nuttiness and a grassy farmhouse smell. If you love raclette, this is your Canadian alternative. Melt it in a fondue, put it in a grilled cheese, or just eat it with a c***r and some fig and olive crackers. Hi. 👋

Find Le 1608 at the Farm Store in Kam Lake and at The Pantry downtown, inside Yellowknife Books.

Five brothers walk into a dairy… 🧀

No punchline, just cheese. Really good cheese.

Five Brothers comes from Gunn’s Hill Artisan Cheese in Woodstock, Ontario, and it’s named for the five Ysselstein brothers (John, Marc, Daniel, David and Shep) who all grew up on the same family dairy farm. Every drop of milk still comes from that farm. Gunn’s Hill had only been making cheese for two years when this one won Best Firm Cheese in Canada at the Canadian Cheese Grand Prix. No pressure, right?

Real talk, friends: this is basically Gouda and Appenzeller’s Canadian lovechild. 🇳🇱🇨🇭🇨🇦 It’s a washed-curd cheese like Gouda, so it comes out sweet, with caramel and butterscotch notes. It’s also a washed-rind cheese like Appenzeller, so it has a little extra depth and character. Then it rests about 8 months on wooden planks, which adds a lovely woodsy note.

What you get is a firm, golden, buttery cheese. It’s sweet and nutty, with hints of clover and fresh grass. If you’re lucky, you’ll also get those crunchy little tyrosine crystals. (They’re not salt. They’re amino acids clustering together as the cheese ages. Yes, we’re nerding out. Have we mentioned we love cheese?)

Pair it with a crisp pilsner or a glass of Chardonnay, and maybe a slice of our sourdough while you’re at it. 😉

Find it in the cheese case at the Farm Store in Kam Lake. 💛

Ever wonder why Bush Order is all the way out in Kam Lake? Here’s the honest answer.

When Marie and I started this whole thing, the plan was a market garden. Grow good food for Yellowknife, that’s it. Turns out vegetables do not pay commercial property rent very well. Who knew. (Everyone. Everyone knew.)

So we have faced on the wholesale aspect of the bakery. Then we realized selling bread directly to you lovely is more beneficial to the business, so we opened the Farm Store. To entice more traffic we focused on bringing in other local food producers too. Then we got really into cheese and you know how that is going.

Then Elliott came along, and he’s a full-time job all on his own. So the garden plans change year over year. Recently we have focus on turning some of it into a food forest: apple trees, saskatoons, raspberries, even some dwarf cherries. Some years it’ll just be cover crops, and that’s fine. We’re in this for the long haul.

So come out and see us at the Farm Store, 180 Enterprise Drive in Kam Lake. If you’re downtown, The Pantry is inside Yellowknife Books. And if you’ve got a cheese question, please ask. We will happily talk your ear off.

Oh, and one more thing. Marie’s in school to become a nurse. Next time you see her, say “Go, Marie!” She’s going to hate that I wrote this.

Is It Cheese, Yellowknife? 🧀 YEP.

Episode 3: L’Angélique à Marc 🏝️

This soft-rind beauty comes from Île-aux-Grues, an island in the St. Lawrence River you can only reach by ferry (or plane, in winter). It’s made with raw cow’s milk from cows that live only on that island.

🌿 “Angélique” is the wild angelica that grows all over the island, and the cows graze on it.
🎨 “Marc” is the painter up the road who designed the wrapper art (sorry Marc, we pre-cut it 😅)
⏳ Aged 60+ days in a cave right on the island
🌲 Moulded in a ring of pine or spruce, which gives the rind a subtle woody note

Mild, creamy, green herbs, and a little funk. Pair it with a dry Sauvignon Blanc or a Lone Tree c***r 🍏🍷

Texture? Taste? Paste? Scratch that… just come try it. 😂

📍 Now at the Bush Order Farm Store, maybe also at The Pantry downtown. It won’t last long!

An 8-year-old cheddar that tastes more like parmesan? 🧀👀

Is It Cheese, Yellowknife? Yep. is back for Episode 2: Townsley Road’s oldest cheddar, aged 8 years in a 19 kg block, from Québec.

✅ Way past sharp, verging on parmesan ✅ Little salt crystals you can actually crunch ✅ Deep, savoury and nutty from the moment you open it

Pair it with big reds or dark b**rs, or go sweet with honey and figs on a board. Or like Chef Robin taught Kyle, pair it with Blood Oranges.

Kyle’s tip of the week: chew first, talk later. Watch to the end to see why 😅

📍 Pick some up at the Farm Store or The Pantry downtown Yellowknife.

To our cheddar superfan: this one’s for you. You know who you are 🫡

Goat cheese… that doesn’t taste like goat cheese? 🐐🧀

Welcome to Is It Cheese, Yellowknife? Yep. Episode 1 is La Tomme du Haut-Richelieu, from Québec’s Eastern Townships.

✅ 100% goat milk, so it’s a good pick if cow dairy doesn’t agree with you
✅ Mild, milky and a little nutty, with notes of toasted hazelnut and almond
✅ Gold medal at the 2021 World Cheese Awards 🏆

Never been sold on goat cheese? Start with this one.

Pair it with a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay, dried apricots and figs, or a handful of nuts on your next charcuterie board. Or just eat it off the counter like Kyle does.

📍 Grab a wedge at the Bush Order Provisions Farm Store, here in Yellowknife.

Sober October in just got a whole lot more options.

We’re nerding out on a bigger selection of n/a near-b**rs and these are just the new variants to go with our main squeezes. A l***r from Sea Change Brewing Co., specialty brews from One For The Road Brewing, an IPA from Bellwoods Brewery and three b**rs from Drop Bear B**r Co..

It is simply mind boggling how the n/a b**r sector has grown over the last couple years and we’re so excited to find and try new options from around Canada and across the pond.

What’s your favourite type of b**r?

09/25/2026

Spreadable cheeses and yogurt has arrived. We have clotted cream from England, mascarpone from Ontario, Sheep’s Yogurt from Quebec, and two spreadable cheese@from France.

Without sounding too spammy, we don’t get these ones often, so if you’re interested in trying them come out between now and Thanksgiving.
