One of my favorite shops in town, IJ Mellis has a big selection of cheeses mainly from Britain, and a changing selection of European soft and hard cheeses as well. Their selection from Scotland and Northern England are especially well worth checking out.

A really great feature of the shop is that all of the cheese is labeled as to whether it is vegetarian and which are organic. Of course labels also include origin, whether cow, goat, or sheep, and tasting notes.

Finally - and most importantly - the staff are really friendly, totally knowledgeable and let you try any thing you want! I always think I’ll go in and get a taste of something and then stroll on - but I always end up buying a lot! Be warned!
