Le Pied-De-Vent is a raw cow's milk cheese from the Magdalen Islands region in Quebec, Canada. [1] [2] This soft cheese is produced by La Fromagerie du Pied-de-Vent. Pied-de-Vent is made with milk from Canadienne cattle. Its name comes from a French-Canadian expression meaning "the sun's rays piercing through the clouds." [2]
