Local cheese lovers were left shocked and amused as a small but impressive cheese producer has revealed the explosive ingredient that makes their cheese so uniquely irresistible. The secret was unveiled during a recent interview with the founder of the small Quebec-based cheese making company, "Fromage de l'Éruption" (Cheese with a bang).
According to the founder, who wished to remain anonymous, a staple ingredient of their award-winning cheese is, surprisingly enough, dynamite! But before you get too concerned, relax—as the cheese maker stated, the dynamite is not the kind that can go off at any time—explosive only to the cheese lovers who delight in their delicious dairy explosions.
The use of dynamite, our source revealed, was an accidental discovery. One summer, the team was experimenting with new flavorings for their cheeses when they stumbled upon a shipment of dynamite. Thinking it was a delivery of nitrate—a common ingredient in cheese production—the unknowing team went ahead and used it to produce their famous Éruption Cheese.
To everyone's surprise, the use of dynamite yielded a tangy and rich flavor that made their cheese the talk of the town. "Customers were coming in asking why the cheese had a different texture, and we weren't about to reveal our secret," the founder revealed in the interview. "After a while, we realized that it's that little explosive that makes our cheese so unique."
Apparently, the use of dynamite not only adds flavor but also increases the shelf life of the cheese. However, this has caused controversy in the Cheese Guild of Quebec, which is made up of local cheese makers, who have voiced concerns over the safety of using explosives in food production. They fear that this could set a dangerous precedent, opening the door to the use of other explosive materials.
Fromage de l'Éruption has defended their craft, stating that they take all the necessary precautions to ensure their cheese-making process is safe. They reportedly use only a small amount of dynamite, which is professionally extracted and handled by certified personnel. In fact, the cheese maker claims that its use is so minimal, it poses no threat to the safety of their customers or employees.
Despite the controversy, Fromage de l'Éruption has continued to produce and distribute their unique cheese. While it might not be everyone's cup of tea—or in this case, wheel of cheese—the excitement and curiosity generated by this discovery has earned them record sales and global recognition.
So if you're looking for a cheese with a bang, head on over to Fromage de l'Éruption for a taste of their signature cheese. But be warned, this explosive flavor is not for the faint of heart—or stomach.
