Holiday Cheese Guide

It may seem like it's still a long way off, but in reality Christmas is just around the corner, and we've been working hard for the last couple months to ensure this is going to be the cheesiest holiday season of them all. We've got lots of extra stock and products we don't see any other time of year, and some have already begun to arrive. Many of these cheeses are only available in limited quantities so here are some things to know to make sure you get what you need for your big holiday event.

Seasonal Cheese Selection

Looking for something truly special for the holidays we're bringing in two amazing bark wrapped cheeses. We've had the Alpius for the last couple holiday seasons and it's become one of our favourites. When ripe it becomes super soft, with a rich earthy flavour. The other is L'Adoray from Quebec's Fromagerie Montebello. It is also earthy but with a slightly smokey finish and being canadian is a must for this season's parties. We have the Alpius in Stock, and the L'Adory will arrive in the middle of December. We recommend buying them both ASAP as they will need some time to ripen to be at their best.

We've already recieved our first shipment of Tete de Moin, and Borgund Grand Cru, which is a slightly stronger raw milk cheese in the Morbier family. We've also got a couple wheels of Moliterno an Italian pecorino with decadent veins of truffle throughout. Harder varieties can be purchased a few weeks before Christmas as can be whole units of Camembert and Goat cheeses, while soft cheeses we cut can be bought 7-10 days in advance.

Want to keep up to date on what we’re getting in? Just give us a like on Facebook. We will post photos and descriptions of the cheeses as they arrive in the shop.
