They do the best cheeses, have the best service AND one of the best cheeseburgers I’ve ever had in the adorable restaurant attached. Alex has an unrivalled knowledge of cheese and an immense appreciation of good food that makes every visit a pleasure.

having just stuffed myself with one of the best feta cheeses in the world, i vouch for every single one of those cheeses in the display – the texture of the rind does not give away its contents, but one cannot wait to peel it away and see the colour and smell the aroma of its contents

Even for a frenchman it’s a fantastic address!
those two brothers are so pationnated that’s a real pleasure to eat at the restaurant and then buy cheese.
My cousin bought a superb cheese wedding cake what an experience!
Keep this high level of quality and service for ever!

Oh, to be a cheesemonger. To me, heaven is a bookstore that sells fabulous cheese. I am rather particular to the food. I am from Wisconsin, where cheese is one of our four food groups (the others consisting of beer, milk, and bratwurst).

One of my ‘food heroes’ as they say. A fantastic shop, blessed are the cheese-makers.

Ah, cher Alex, il a du nez (literally and figuratively)!
I feel I must commemorate his profile on one on my (faux) Delft tiles. Bravo monsieur.

Wonderful to ‘meet’ a Frenchman who appreciates English as much as French cheeses. Here in our bit of France it’s pretty much impossible to buy anything allegedly English beyond a greasy shrink-wrapped cheddar. No wonder most French think we don’t ‘do’ cheese.

Amazing, I bought a Valencay today from my cheese guy at a farmer’s market in LA. Small world and all that. Get Alex to tell you the story behind the shape, it’s good. As is this blog, it’s a regular read for me.
