La Fromagerie’s Guide to Cheese

One shop offering is own clear and comprehensive guide to British and world cheeses is La Fromagerie, whose site offers an A-Z guide to cheeses from Europe and the United States. Each cheese is clearly photographed and accompanying text offers information on type, texture, flavour and provenance.

Patricia Michelson, owner of La Fromagerie said, “The purpose of our online Cheese Dictionary is to show not only a good picture of the cheese but an intelligent tasting note that describes the taste and texture as well as offering a little useful background. We also give a wine or beer or cider match and generally, the guide is there to show our expertise as a cheesemonger.

“We know that both professionals and customers use this part of our website a lot, and if we can push out to a wider audience the mastery of our profession and the cheesemaker, then that is all for the good.

“We have worked very hard on our website and it is an important tool to showcase our business in the best possible way and it’s all done in house by a team who are working in the Cheese Room and shop who know the produce.

“We all work together to make it an extension of La Fromagerie, so if you can’t come to the shops, then the website can take you there (lafromagerie.co.uk)
