The Cheese Counter
It is our policy in the Housekeeper’s Store to source the finest cheeses from the British Isles for our customers and to present them in the best possible conditions.
Every week our aim is to have cheeses from all four countries in the UK and to have a range of hard, soft and flavour-added cheeses as well as cheeses from cow’s, ewe’s and goat’s milk. Many of the cheeses we stock are suitable for vegetarians and some are unpasteurised. We are particularly keen to showcase local North West cheeses and always stock Cheshire cheese!
Our thanks go to Pendrill’s who, in addition to supplying all our cheeses, are always on hand with expert guidance and help. Please see below for a selection of some of the fine cheeses we stock in the Housekeeper's Store:
