The GOODS from Les Amis Du Fromage

Vancouver, BC | As we all get ready to host Christmas, New Years and Holiday parties, don`t forget to make cheese a part of your entertaining. Cheese is perfect for serving before or after dinner. Cheese platters are perfect for entertaining large groups because they are communal and made for sharing. Did you know that we also have an amazing selection of local charcuterie?  We stock meats from D Original, Moccia, Oyama, The Cure and more, including house made terrines. Let the staff at les amis du FROMAGE help you keep your holiday entertaining simple. We’ll help you choose cheese, meats, crackers and tasty accompaniments like cornichons, olives, antipasto or tapenade. If you’re a bit busier, we’re happy to prepare cheese platters for you. If you don’t have time to visit the store and order your platter, just call us. We’ll do the rest.

The staff at LADF have been busy preparing some of your holiday favourites. Whole wheels of English Stilton have been soaking in Taylor Fladgate port for several weeks now. They should be ready for sale by December 16th. We’ve even prepared a batch of Tourtiere this year. Grand Fromager Alice Spurrell has been making this favourite Quebecois pork pie for her family for over 50 years. Made from hand cut pork that’s been simmered all day with potatoes, onions and spices, it wouldn’t be Christmas at our house without it. This year we’ve managed to make a few extra. It’s a once a year thing, so supplies are very limited.

If Fondue and Raclette are a traditional part of your holiday meal, let us help take some of the work out of preparing dinner for you. We stock several cheeses, so whether you would like a traditional or custom blend of cheeses for your fondue, we’ve got you covered. We’re even happy to grate the cheese and have it all ready to go for you. We also stock Raclette cheese from France, BC, Quebec and Switzerland. Call ahead and we’ll have it sliced and waiting for you. Don’t have a fondue pot or raclette machine? Not a problem, we have loaners available. Some conditions apply, and quantities are limited.

Lastly, if you still have some Quesophiles (cheese lovers) on your holiday shopping list, les amis du FROMAGE has what you need. Both stores have the best selection of local and imported cheeses. Looking for stocking stuffers? We stock salts, olive oils, vinegars, preserves, Italian biscuits, spiced nuts and so much more. Looking for equipment? Our East Vancouver store has a huge selection of cheese boards, cheese knives, serving dishes, raclette machines, fondue pots and most other cheesy things you can think of. And for the cheese lover who has everything, how about a ticket to one of our upcoming cheese tastings. Choose from the Best of BC with Kurtis Kolt, Beer & Cheese Basics with Chester Carey, or La Dolce Vita.
