Le Douanier is a wash-rinsed cheese made by Fritz Kaiser in Quebec, Canada.
Le Douanier won the 2004 Canadian Cheese Grand Prix.
[2] It is a surface-ripened cheese, ivory in colour and has a little bit of a hazelnut flavour that comes out with age.
[3] This symbolizes the Canada–US border that is very near the Fritz Kaiser fromagerie at which Le Douanier is made.
The English translation of the cheese's French name, "Le Douanier", is "the customs officer".
