Let There Be Cheese!

They offer artisan cheeses, cow, goat and sheep, from all over Canada, including local BC products. They also do their best to curate a wide variety of international products that have gained strong reputations for their products. They have a huge display fridge of cheeses of which you can have cut to your liking. They also have several fridges with pre-packaged cheese, other dairy and meat products.

With this much cheese, it can be hard to choose, so it's nice that they are willing to give you a sliver of some of their display cheeses so you can decide whether or not to buy it. For myself, I decided to rummage through their basket of orphaned cuts of cheeses and "adopt" a few for my personal consumption. They were all good, of course, but of the ones I picked up, the Midnight Moon, an award-winning, buttery goat cheese with a satisfying crunch from Holland (a goat cheese for people who don't think they like it), and the Vacherian Fribourgeois, a raw, semi-soft cow's milk cheese with a smooth, open texture from Switzerland both really got my attention.

Keto-Friendly Cheese Carriers

I was pleased to see that they don't discriminate when it comes to crackers. They had several varieties of low-carb flax crackers, as well as cheese chips on their shelves, for the gluten-free, low-carbers stopping in at their shop. While I tend to prefer making my own, it's nice to have the option to buy them in a pinch.
