Cheesemonger

Cheese Cheese Cheese
Cheesemonger - someone who sells cheese. Well, there is more to it than that. Putting it that way would be a little like saying Shakespeare is someone who wrote plays. This is cheese taken to a level we did not know existed. And, lucky for us, there is a shop just down the block from our flat that has won UK Cheesemonger of the Year.

This small shop was custom built solely for cheese. It has massive masonry walls and an equally massive floor that simulate the coolness of a cave. The ventilation system is custom too. There seemed to be about 150 cheeses to pick from. Thankfully, there were also friendly and knowledgable staff to guide us on our first visit. We came home with three cheeses to try. And, we never knew cheese could be so packed with flavor. Consequently, cheese has accompanied our dinners in the flat practically every night. We are even signed up for an evening cheese-tasting event.
