Where to buy cheese in Cambridge
Julian Day
I have a friend visiting who loves eating all sorts of different cheeses.
Can anyone suggest a good place to find some interesting cheeses in
Cambridge?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
Julian

The obvious candidate would be the Cambridge Cheese Company on All Saints
Passage, although there's also thae chap on the market if you catch him -
not sure of his usual days.

He's always there on saturdays at the market. Not sure about other days
though. His cheese is really good.
Better than the Cambridge Cheese Company (and cheaper) IMO.

Can't go wrong in the Cheese Company....Its down the little alleyway
opposite the stand of shops between the Round Church and Halfords.

The cheese stall on Cambridge market can be found on Weds., Fri., and
Sat.
He does have a very good selection of cheeses but is quite pricey, as
is the Cambridge Cheese Co. Asda also has a very good cheese counter
with some surprisingly exotic varieties available.

Further to the other suggestions, I recommend Limoncello on Mill Road.
Lots of interesting Italian cheeses, and some others too (e.g. very
nice smoked cheddar).

Tescos, Morrisons, Asda and Sainsburys don't seem to have any anymore.

Does anyone make a decent Lancashire these days?
I used to eat loads of the stuff in the late 60s/early 70s following finding
it on a huge poster by someone called something like the Cheese Markinting
Board (it may have been just the Cheese Board..)
The oily rubbery stuff the supermarkets sell just ain't the same.

There is a wonderfully creamy Lancashire still available. Unfortunately
the only place I know to get it is Ormskirk market :-(

The cheese stall on Norwich market often has a tasty Lanacshire & an
unpasteurised normal Lancashire.

Tesco generally have a mango & ginger cheese. It looks almost
identical to the one with apricots in. Not my cup of tea really.

The Waitrose in Bury St Eds do Sage Derby in the their deli - it's not
the best I've ever tasted, but it's OK (it's also, IMO, better than
Stinking Bishop; tasted that once in BSE Waitrose. Bleugghh. Had to
run out of the shop and wash my hands. And they still stank. Clue was
in the name, I suppose... ).

Melbourn and on the way to Royston. I think it has won prizes for being
a Good Thing and also does a surprising variety of cheeses.
There is also a farm shop in the group of farm buildings on the left at
Barton on A603 (Comberton turn off, 100 yds on left).
Of course if you're really serious about cheese you should go to Neals
Yard (nr Covent Garden). I remember them explaining to some American
cook (who had been using 5 US supermarket cheeses in a TV prog) that
although there were (at that time) 443 cheeses made in the UK they were
sorry they were only able to stock 144 at any one time, but could meet
special requests for others.

There was also an amazing cheese shop/stall at Liverpool St Station if
you're a commuter, very nice man runs it who'll let you sample before you
buy.

And if you aren't a commuter it's something else? That /is/ amazing.

Indeed yes, sometimes (especially on Fridays) this cheese shop turned
into a micro-alternative universe populated with dusky Polynesian maidens
swaying to the gentle music of the wind in the palm trees... no I'm lying, I
think it was engulfed by the expansion of Boots and has either closed or
moved :(

I used to work at UBS who have a building on top of that concourse. One
room, directly above the purveyor of fermented curd aforementioned, was so
smelly it was only used as a meeting room of last resort and was known as
the "cheese shop".

working on the now very famous cheese stall at the recent Cambridge
Beer Festival and one particular Lancashire that sold very well was
"Gradma Singletons". I have seen this on the Cambridge market cheese
stall very recently. The man on this stall tells me he also
occasionally has Cornish Yarg so, if you spot it, please try it as it
really is the business. It always sold out within minutes of being
put out on display on our beer festival food stand.

I've bought this in the past from the deli in the Bury Lane farm shop,
on the A10 near Melbourn. I don't remember it being particularly
special, though - perhaps it needs beer to complement it. It's the one
wrapped in nettle leaves, isn't it?

Yes, it is the one wrapped in nettle leaves. You are right, it isn't
particularly strong in flavour, but has a delicious subtle creaminess
and the nettles add an interesting texture to the whole experience. A
beer accompaniment is always good with cheese - who knows why cheese
and wine parties were always so popular. Give me a cheese and beer
party anytime. Go to a good local bar in Holland or Belgium and they
will serve you small plates of cheese with a mustard dip along with
your beer; their version of the Spanish tapas I guess. :-)
