This is a great little independent cheese shop somewhat hidden away in Liverpool Street Station…read more The shop - as its name says - stocks a wide variety of cheeses from around the world (well, mainly Europe), with cheeses from France, Switzerland and Italy being particularly well-represented. I once found Džiugas, a cheese from Lithuania, here, though have not seen it recently, and was really pleased because, well, it's very tasty, and it saved me from having to fly to Vilnius just to get a taste of it once more. In addition to cheeses, this shop also stocks chutneys, cake mixes, biscuits, jams and sandwiches. The sandwiches do seem to be priced quite reasonably, and when I popped in one evening, were going for buy two for the price of one. I haven't tried them myself as I don't quite like their range of breads (white sandwich bread and baps). Staff are nice and friendly and happy to look for and suggest cheeses in accordance to your needs. International Cheese also offer cheese hampers, boxes and wedding cakes, so it's a great place to pop into for gifts as well.

Or for some bloomin good Cheddar They don't just do cheeses though. They have a mouth watering selection of chutneys and preserves. Loads of pates (including Fois Gras I'm hoping it's the ethical version I don't want to ask), port, and even Kendal Mint Cake. If I had to sum up this place I'd say it was a British Deli, if such a thing exists, and allowing for the occasional Swiss and French cheese They also do an excellent range of sandwiches. With the exception of a token turkey sandwich they all include cheese. And of course it's not just cheese, but specified types of cheese, whether cheddar, brie or soft, in ploughman's, with chutney, with ham etc. All fresh cut and simply wrapped in clingfilm. Prices start under £3, so very competitive too.

I'm always up for some new cheese and the girlfriend and I were treated to some samples The cheeses had character, which I love. When we had chosen our favourite, we were modestly told that that cheese had just won third place at the recent World Cheese Championships.

My mom really wanted to try Kappacasein at Borough Market - she saw something about the wildly…read morepopular cheese toasties online, and the long line at the storefront confirmed her suspicions. We decided to brave the line for the cheese toasties - a few others hopped out of line into the raclette line, which was much shorter - and were able to order our sandwich after about 15 minutes of waiting. The cheese toasties were made fresh-to-order, and our sandwich was freshly scraped from the griddle as soon as we got to the front of the line. Unlike basic grilled cheese sandwiches, Kappacasein includes leeks and a blend of cheeses for a decadent, gooey bite. We ended up sharing a sandwich, which was the right call. I'm glad we tried it!

Jumi (pronounced YOU-ME) is located in Borough Market, a bustling, historic market in central…read moreLondon that focuses on quality food and sustainable production. They are a producer/selector of artisan cheeses from Switzerland and are changing the way people think about Swiss Cheese. All of the unique products at Jumi Cheese are produced by four family-run dairies in the Emmental region of Switzerland. The cows that supply the milk for Jumi's dairies feed on fresh grass and hay, and the farmers start and end the process by hand. Their 'stall' is located in the Three Crown Square section of Borough Market and features a range of cheeses like Belper Knolle, a specialty of theirs, spahn, goat cheese, truffle cheese and more. They first came on my radar when I saw a video on social media featuring their 'brain cheese.' The cheese resembles small mammalian brains at various stages of decay with it's fuzzy layer of blue mold surrounding the fist size balls. This one of the mouldiest cheeses you can buy in the UK and for some strange strange reason.... I just had to try it. And so, I've had this bookmarked for years for the moment I'd be back in London. At first glance, the Blue Brain cheese looked a bit intimidating. Are we sure about this? Will my stomach survive this? The questions tried to dissuade us to no avail. At about £9.90, the cheese was more affordable than I anticipated. We bought one for the road and magically, it mostly survived hours in our bag, lol. If you plan on sightseeing more after the market, I'd suggest bringing a smaller cooler or find a small bag of ice or frozen veggies in a nearby store to keep it cool. Once we got home, we dug in. The cheese was very pungent! And despite it's appearance, this had to be one of the smoothest, most flavorful blue cheese I've ever had. Wow, I was pretty amazed and happy that we went for it. The flavor is strong, but not overwhelming and I honestly really liked it. We paired it with some crackers and jam (apricot or peach, can't remember which exactly) and it was the perfect way to end our evening. For the food adventurous, I'd definitely recommend trying the blue brain cheese ;)

Most recently, I ran into Cannon & Cannon at the Real Food Market at King's Cross. Last week, I was picking up some bread to eat with lunch at the stall next door, when the friendly man selling Cannon & Cannon sausage informed me that my sourdough baguette would really benefit from some of his delicious charcuterie....as it turns out, he was right. He let us sample 6 or 7 different types of stick sausage on offer. They were all really delicious and represented a great variety of flavors and textures. The stand outs were a pork sausage made with blood, red wine and chocolate (i'm not usually a fan of sweet/savoury, but the bitterness of dark chocolate really adds a lot to this rich sausage that is SO GOOD with eggs). My personal favorite was the lamb merguez which was spicy and bright with lemon peel and chili--I cooked it into a super tasty tomato and white bean soup. I stopped back today and picked up a duck/pork sausage with sichuan peppercorn that I am SO excited to try. These sausages are a tad costly (3 for £11), but I was clearly happy to pay up! Definitely worth a shout (if only just to taste the million different varieties).

Le Marche du Quartier means 'the neighborhood market.' How quaint is that?

It was very delicious and the flavors were very strong. I almost want to give it a 5/5, except the duck was quite salty, and the saltiness builds up throughout the meal.
