Host Will Studd visits the Canadian province of Quebec to explore their cheese-making revival. He begins with Oka cheese, originally made by Trappist Monks in the city of the same name; this is one of the oldest, traditional cheeses still made in North America. Next he visits Ile-aux-Grues in the St Lawrence River, and learns how a commodity cheddar producer is adapting to the changing market. Then it's off to Montreal to visit a Benedictine monastery making Quebec's oldest blue cheese and a singing 'shepherd', before heading for the local markets, where he meets some of the main players in the burgeoning new cheese market.
