Fromagerie Philippe Olivier: the family cheese shop in Lille

It's on the small street of Curé Saint-Étienne, just a stone's throw from Grand Place, that you will find this excellent cheese shop. Philippe Olivier is a large family of cheese ripeners, collectors, and merchants for over a century. This ensures you'll stumble upon a great cheese shop in Lille! They are so popular that they have since taken over the cheese shop at the intersection of Rue Basse and Rue Esquermoise, another one at Gambetta, and you can even find them all around Lille! Their motto: quality over quantity. The special touch? You'll find forgotten cheeses, raw milk cheeses, cheeses from small producers, traditional and authentic cheeses. If you're unsure, don't hesitate to ask for advice, that's how you'll discover hidden gems!

"À l'étage de la crèmerie se dresse un endroit intimiste où vous pouvez déguster en toute tranquillité une ardoise de nos fromages. Ici, le concept est simple, vous choisissez l'une de nos formules..."3, 5, 7 or 11 cheeses, we define your tastes together and then the magic happens! Once a month, the creamery organizes cheese tastings around different themes such as Italy, 100% goat cheese, wine and cheese pairings. These special evenings offer 10 cheeses, 4 wines, and a homemade dessert. They take place from September to June and are only visible on our social networks and in our stores. In short, paradise.
