Gourmet cheese

For the cheese lovers amongst you I came me across this US website that sells cheese from 36 countries including the local cheese around here.

The mature cheddar makes for great smoking.

They also seem to have a great range of other foods.

Thanks for the post Manx.  Living in Switzerland literally on the French and German borders there is no shortage here of amazing cheese.  However, cheese from the UK is, unfortunately, a rarity.  I'll check out the site and order something if postage isn't prohibitive.  I miss a good cheddar and Stilton.  I have a rather nice port to accompany the latter.

Arrrgh. Just noticed they're not on this side of the pond.  Non-starter then.  Nice selection of cheese though.  Can you recommend any UK cheese sites specializing in local cheeses?

And that's exactly the reason why I married a woman who couldn't read  ;D ;D.

I've already warned her about the crazy lady on this board ;)  But, I did tell her you were the toughest, crazy lady I ever did meet!  And the only one who really knew how to keep us "boys" in line!

I have used the first two occasionally and they seem fine although not regularly enough to recommend them as such, third one deals with local cheese here on the Isle of Man.

You must be spoilt for choice living where you do, however cheddar and stilton are two of my favourites and there are some superb ones around. And I LOVE port!!  ;) :D

Not sure whether they ship to the continent?
