OKA Classique
This wheel tastes bolder than OKA Original. Big wheels age past 60 days. The 190 g round stops at 35 days.
Cellars at Fromagerie Oka still ripen it in Quebec. Agropur Cooperative has held the method since 1981. On 15 July 2026 the co-op agreed to sell this plant to Lactalis, but the sale is not closed and the milk mark still reads fully Canadian.
It is semi-soft. Fat is 30 percent, and moisture is 44 percent. A 30 g cube has 110 calories. The site calls every OKA cheese naturally lactose-free.
