This evening we shall make a proletarian pizza, on top there will be Loblaws Extra Old Cheddar and Costco Parmesan. I see that as an expression of empathy for those living in parts of Canada remote from the market.

Haha I thought someone might go there. :P

Here's the link: Starsky Foods - Homepage

They only have 3 shops in Ontario (sorry!), but check out what havartis your grocery has in the counter. The havartis in the packages in the fridges are usually the plain bland ones... but if they have any flavoured ones in the counter then those might be worth a shot. We also liked the sundried tomato one... the basil one was meh, though. Bit of hit and miss sometimes, but still worth trying. When it's a bit warm and soft on toast or on a bagel, though, it's really, really good.

There's a stall at the bottom of the stairs in St Lawrence Market, Toronto that sells such garments.

I'm a bit of a cheese heathen, but I am currently loving the Boursin soft cheese with cranberries and pepper. Luvverly on your crackers sir.

Mmmmmmmm yes that one is delicious, particularly around the holidays!

Goat cheese (soft) with cranberries is extremely good too.

;)

Starsky's has over 400 different cheese choices with many UK and European types, I've been singing their praises too -
Schnookololly, I agree - they are great!

There's a really good cheese shop in Georgetown http://www.millstreetcheesemarket.com/

I am looking forward to buying cheese, I thought maybe I would need to go to Quebec but this is very fortunate and I am very grateful... however I need cancoillotte now that I have thought of it again!

There is a fancy but not cheap cheese store in Peterborough, can't remember the name, it's one of those witty ones. I can bring you some when we meet.

There's also a local cheese factory, Empire Cheese, that does a good cheddar plus a few flavoured ones.

Mmmm cheese. I like feta cheese and most others, mmmmm cheese.
Also echoing Bats always try local cheeses whenever you can, nearly always worth it.

Once you get beyond the supermarket plastic offerings and have a bit more dish to spend then good cheese is out there.

My mouth is watering reading this thread!

Another available at costco is the collier's welsh cheddar. Mmmm. There's a real nice cheese shop in Port Dover, had this really good Dutch cheese. I may or may not have ate the whole $16 brick.

I like it personally. Trader Joes stocks it down here, and its quite reasonably priced.

My wife calls it "stinky" cheese, that phrase applies to any non-American cheese in the house. She is quite the Californian cave dweller.
