'''Le Riopelle de l'Isle''' is a [[triple-cream cheese]] from [[Quebec]] that has an oily and sometimes flowing texture known to melt in the mouth. It possesses a smooth [[butter]]y taste, with hints of [[hazelnut]]s and [[mushroom]]s. 

It is named after [[Jean-Paul Riopelle]], a renowned [[Québécois people|Québécois]] artist and painter, and for each 1.4&nbsp;kg piece, $1 goes to a foundation that helps the children of [[Isle-aux-Grues]], Quebec, Canada, the island where this cheese is manufactured, to get a higher education. 

The label on Le Riopelle de l'Isle is a reproduction of one of Riopelle's paintings.
