Cheese shop in my neighborhood





I am very lucky to have a wonderful cheese shop near my home!

The Fromagerie d'Auteuil (www.lafromageriedauteuil.fr/) has all sorts of cheeses. Look at the display of goat cheeses! The picture in the middle shows the Citaux, a cow cheese from Burgandy done by monks. Note that only a few shops in Paris sell it. It is similar to Reblochon, but stronger. On the left, the Mont d'Or or vacherin du Doubs. It's the ideal season to have it! Monsieur Michel Fouchereau, the shop owner, is an "affineur" who ages the cheese in his own undeground "cave" or cellar. He has been distinguished with the
Meilleur Ouvrier de France award, an award given to the very best craftsmen in a tough competition.
