...but nothing can stop the word from getting out about Chimay cheese.

#chimaythesecretisout www.chimay.com | www.atalantacorp.com

The secret began centuries ago, when the Trappist monks of Scourmont Abbey in Belgium began crafting their renowned cheeses in the Chimay countryside in 1876. Their “Authentic Trappist Product” starts with only the freshest, local, pasteurized cow’s milk from the Belgian Blue Cross cow, while the production of each wheel is carefully monitored to ensure superior taste and quality.

Now the secret is out, and Chimay is proudly making this unique, delicious line of hand crafted cheeses including Chimay Doré Gold, Chimay Grande Reserve and Chimay Beer for all in the world to enjoy.
