407025 Thu May 31 21:31:01 -0700 2007 25 22 Quebec (including Montreal) 0 2619433 Any opinions on the Quebec-based Coaticook ice cream? Where can I find it in Montreal(I think I might of seen it in Marche des Saveurs at J-T Market)? What flavour of Coaticook ice cream is best? Thu May 31 21:31:01 -0700 2007 11610 BLM 1 2619700 You can find it at this little ice cream shop on Bernard below Parc called D'une Glace a L'Autre (171 Bernard W). I haven't sampled it however. Fri Jun 01 02:40:16 -0700 2007 2619433 59561 swissfoodie 2 2619737 It is on sale this week at Supermarché PA (Parc, between St-Joseph and Laurier, east side of street). Fri Jun 01 04:21:50 -0700 2007 2619700 84119 lagatta 1 2619774 it's pretty good. I tried plain vanilla last week and I like a stronger vanilla taste, but for the price, it's a good product. with some fresh strawberries on top- YUM. Both of my local grocery stores carry it.. Provigo at Cote Vertu/Decarie & Metro at Cote Vertu/Montpellier. Fri Jun 01 04:55:13 -0700 2007 2619433 14157 C70 1 2619882 I've seen at a lot of it at Loblaws and Provigos. It good, but it 's not that great. I find it too airy and low on flavour. I guess its claim to fame is the short ingredient list. Yes, this is what our world has come to. Fri Jun 01 06:04:25 -0700 2007 2619433 18488 SnackHappy 2 2619906 my first job was scooping ice cream- I now always smash the air out the cheap stuff. It just tastes creamier, and more like hand-packed. Fri Jun 01 06:16:26 -0700 2007 2619882 14157 C70 1 2620520 I've seen Coaticook in various grocery stores. I've seen it at the PA Grocery store on Fort street. As for its taste...it's not bad. If memory serves, they have a strawberry cheesecake one, and that's decent. I don't mean to damn the product with faint praise, but it's been a while since I had it, and I remember not being wowed or bowled over by its flavour. Fri Jun 01 09:22:21 -0700 2007 2619433 84469 Chai Latte 2 2637659 From checking, they have a cherry cheesecake one(not strawberry). Noticed for Coaticook's strawberry ice cream, they say 'real strawberries.' So they're ice cream companies that don't use real strawberries(I'm guessing they use flavourings instead)? Thu Jun 07 02:13:52 -0700 2007 2620520 11610 BLM 1 2620703 They have it at my IGA in Lachine too, one of the few remaining commercial companies using pure cream and not "modified milk solids". Al little light on the flavouring though. Fri Jun 01 10:14:28 -0700 2007 2619433 13079 ScoobySnacks20 1 2623559 I think it's quite good. I know people who have nothing but when it comes to store bought ice cream, and I'd have to agree. I've only had the vanilla. As to those who find that it's too light and airy, I quite like that aspect of it. It's a definite try... shouldn't be too difficult to find in Montreal given that it's a relatively local product. Sat Jun 02 13:00:46 -0700 2007 2619433 78370 littlegreenpea 2 2623575 it was in the provigo flyer today (3.99), so they must carry it in all their stores. Sat Jun 02 13:06:16 -0700 2007 2623559 14157 C70 1 2627616 A scoop of vanilla coaticook and a shot of Irish cream liquer sure do make my father-in-law's coffee more potable! Mon Jun 04 09:32:26 -0700 2007 2619433 48563 mainsqueeze 2 2628054 This is all good to know. The kiddies love ice cream, but I am going on the assumption that the modified milk ingredient in most ice cream comes from 2000-cow dairy farms in the USA, and it's been hard to find an ice cream that is not artisanal to serve them. Nice to know that there is a grocery ice cream that is made with milk and cream from Quebec cows. Mon Jun 04 11:17:12 -0700 2007 2627616 71579 Venusia 3 2628070 Are you saying that other "local" ice cream brands like Québon are made with imported milk? Mon Jun 04 11:21:20 -0700 2007 2628054 10520 carswell 4 2628240 Liberté was using milk solids for a while and I had stopped buying their yoghourt because I found that the texture was off. They have gone back to using real milk, though. I figure they are 100% local, unless their are exeptions for importing organic milk. Mon Jun 04 11:59:30 -0700 2007 2628127 18488 SnackHappy 5 2628512 Speaking of Liberté, has anyone tried the new Méditerrannée Frozen yogurt? I was eyeing it at the store the other day, but $6 is steep! Maybe it's worth it? Mon Jun 04 13:00:18 -0700 2007 2628240 48563 mainsqueeze 6 2631357 It's really quite good. What is nice is they are the only ones to make a plain flavour (not vanilla). It's a little sweeter than regular plain yogurt but not coy like vanilla can be. Very refreshing with some summer berries in syrup or fresh peaches with mint. Tue Jun 05 09:51:30 -0700 2007 2628512 59561 swissfoodie 4 2628497 Producers will use imported milk solids (basically, powdered milk, b/c liquid milk cannot be imported) because they are cheaper (dumped on our market). See http://www.laitequitable.ca/en/ for the problems facing our local dairy farmers. At the very least, I try to avoid modified milk ingredients because the process oxidizes the cholesterol it contains. Mon Jun 04 12:56:18 -0700 2007 2628070 71579 Venusia 4 2628788 Yes most (not) "local" brands use MMS as we'll refer to them now as they have been snapped up by international conglomerates (parmalat) or are becoming one (saputo) and/or are facing stiff competiton. Even so called "premium" and "double-churned-realcream-whatchamacallit" brands use MMS extensively. Read the ingredient list carefully. On a side note the IGA espresso frozen yogurt rocks. P.S. To my side note: Homemade coffee yogurt fudsicles and great, easy and cheap to make! Mon Jun 04 13:55:52 -0700 2007 2628070 13079 ScoobySnacks20 1 2628669 Marché Akhavan on Sherbrooke st in NDG has a good selection, the maple sugar uses real maple sugar ! Mon Jun 04 13:35:17 -0700 2007 2619433 23410 Daveyy 1 2635739 L'Oasis du cycliste , an ice cream joint on St-Zotique and iberville, right on the St-Zothique bike path has Cooaticook ice cream Wed Jun 06 12:31:31 -0700 2007 2619433 35348 toto 1 2637661 Checking Marche des Saveurs last weekend, the ice cream that they carry(& that I was thinking of) is Chagnon ice cream(another Quebec ice cream company). Is Chagnon ice cream any good? Marche des Saveurs do also carry Coaticook ice cream, although they were charging $3.49 for the Coaticook 1 litre cartons(Supermarche PA were charging only $1.99 on special last week). Like with Coaticook ice cream, Chagnon promotes that they use real cream. Thu Jun 07 02:24:19 -0700 2007 2619433 11610 BLM 2 2643209 don't know about chagnon but my girls (and me too, must admit) love the maple sugar coaticook ice cream, which i can find on a semi-regular basis at the iga in st-lambert. as for the mediteranne yoghourt, tried the caramel one, really enjoyed it, although a bit on the pricey side. Fri Jun 08 14:57:06 -0700 2007 2637661 104075 PascaleinMontréal 1 2684884 I noticed this brand of ice cream at the Intermarche recently. I think they had 4-5 flavours. Fri Jun 22 11:49:02 -0700 2007 2619433 28292 eoj 2 2685232 Well, now that I know to look for it, I saw at Maxi. Due to the plain packaging, I always used to think it was a cheap noname brand. It's the only supermarket brand I buy now! Fri Jun 22 13:17:29 -0700 2007 2684884 71579 Venusia 1 2737478 my family LOVES this creamy ice cream! our fav flavour is the maple sugar. We buy it at Maxi in Pointe Claire! enjoy! Tue Jul 10 16:40:11 -0700 2007 2619433 110984 tatideveau
