Knowledgeable and friendly staff will let you taste before you buy, help plan a menu or tasting and remember you when you return for more cheese! The variety is incredible - over 130 cheeses - and there is always something new. Some of the fantastic varieties I have tried include:
* A buttery rich triple creme Brie from France;
* An aged Irish cheddar;
* A sweet and crumbly Danish;
* A goat cheese with two layers separated by ash; top layer from the afternoon's milking and the bottom from the morning's;
* A soft cheese with chunks of pineapple that I can't recall the name of;
* A tangy manchengo from Spain
* A salty rich bleu with a smear of chocolate!
* A nutty buttery Swiss
* A peppered Brie, spicy and spreadable
* A beer ripened cheese
Jams, mustards, pates and crackers to go with are also sold here, and range from the familiar to exotic. You can stock up for a party, or buy just enough for a impromptu picnic.
The prices are very reasonable and the atmosphere is welcoming, even for a cheese novice - no cheese snobs here!
A tiny Russian deli at the rear of the store imports world meats, so now you can add a variety of sausages to your cheese tasting
