The GOODS from Les Amis Du Fromage

Vancouver, BC | It wouldn’t be Christmas without our Port Soaked Stilton. We take whole wheels of English Stilton and soak them with Taylor’s LBV port for an additional six weeks. We still have stock available at both stores. Long Clawson / Cropwell Bishop.

Baby Stilton | Thomas Hoe Stevenson was one of the original cheesemakers from the heart of the Vale of Belvoir. Following in his father’s footsteps, Thomas Hoe Stevenson made Stilton Cheese on Mount Pleasant Farm near Melton Mowbray in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and then became a founder member of Long Clawson Dairy.

Thomas Hoe Stevenson Stilton is a mature stilton, and is perfect for your biggest holiday event. We have a small amount of these individual baby Stiltons left. They are approximately 2kg each. Sold Whole. Approximate price $100-110.

Vacherin Mont d’Or | This inimitable soft cheese is produced and ripened among the dark forests and rich pastures of the Jura mountains in the canton of Vaud. For more than a century it has been made here in small local cheese dairies. The cheese is finished in the traditional cellars where it develops its flavour with the distinctive taste of tannin drawn from its girdle of local pine bark. Vacherin Mont-d’Or Switzerland is a seasonal cheese, so there is only a small window when it is available in Vancouver.

Just as with great wines, to allow its flavour to fully emerge it must be allowed to “breath” at room temperature for a few hours before eating. When it is ready it becomes slightly runny and to enjoy its smooth, creamy, texture it is best eaten with a spoon. Connoisseurs also appreciate it as a dessert, or as an evening meal served with Helmer’s potatoes or crusty bread.

The first shipment is SOLD OUT. Our next shipment is schedule to arrive the week of December 16.
