Nantwich - The Cheese Shop

We are fortunate in Nantwich to have a wide range of really good food shops. Earlier this year The Cheese Shop opened on Hospital Street. This now makes Nantwich a superb destination for anyone wanting quality food. 

Nick Birchall, who is one of the partners of the new Cheese Shop, is an authority on cheese. He has worked for many years at Carol Faulkner's cheese shop in Chester.  

There are two large fridges containing many of my favourite cheeses.

They sell some of the best of artisan cheeses from Britain and the continent. I spoke to Nick, before the shop opened, and gave him my wish list. Happily I think they now have most, if not all, of what I asked for.

They also sell other items, like olives, and pickled onions in balsamic vinegar, to go with your cheese.

There is a wide range of delicatessen items, many of which (like the cheeses) are locally produced.

Vegans are catered for, and they sell eight varieties of Soul Cheezes. 

 
They also stock a small, but carefully selected, range of wines from Tanners Wine Merchants in Shrewsbury. They also thoughtfully have included suggestions for which cheeses go with their wines.

At the back of the shop, you can look into their "cellar".

Here their cheeses are carefully matured, so that when you take them home they are at their best.

They sell over 150 different cheeses. I won't go through them all as they have a good website detailing them, with hints on storage etc. If you  are planning on a celebration, to which I'm invited, make sure that you get your cake from here!
