Mention specialty cheese and chances are you’ll think of the inimitable Les Amis Du Fromage – for good reason. A Vancouver-owned company, it has stocked scrumptious local and imported cheeses for more than 30 years. Their staff have an encyclopedic knowledge of their products; many will tell you about the farms where milk is produced, or regale you with stories of the cheese producers themselves. This, plus ample samples of potential purchases, makes it somewhat of a paradise for cheese aficionados. Be sure to ask for recommendations to discover the true gems in this cheese shop.
Cheese, more cheese, GREAT cheese, aged cheese, young cheese, blue cheese, washed-rind cheese, cheese from many places and more cheese! Les Amis du Fromage carries cheese of all varieties, as well as crackers and charcuterie, oil, vinegar and mustard too. They make great cheese and charcuterie platters to take away and also rent raclette and fondue equipment. I love the Tete de Moine cheese cutter – you anchor a small wheel of the cheese onto the board then rotate the blade across the top of the cheese creating thin, and beautifully ruffled cheese slices.
Want to really ramp up your dinner party game? A gourmet cheese plate stacked with flavourful curds is the perfect way to start or finish the night. In business for more than 30 years, this family-owned specialty cheese shop carries an unrivalled inventory of local and international cheeses.
