Le Pied-De-Vent is a raw cow-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]
