The Editor

If France is the country of cheese, Paris is its ambassador! Lucky for you, the capital is full of superb shops that will make you proud to be born in the Hexagon. We're taking you on a tour of the best cheese shops in Paris.

Whether it's soft, creamy, moldy, or firm, we love our cheese. Especially when it stinks. As the cheese capital of the country, the capital city must live up to the reputation. We are fortunate to have small cheese shops just steps away, offering us the crème de la crème of cheese. Say goodbye to bland comté and tasteless brie, and say hello to the superb cheese shops that will delight you with all their dairy delights. And a word of advice: prepare a bib, as you will salivate. The most authentic: Fromagerie Lefort Their idea? To offer a selective range of cheese like good wine, with the same requirements of quality, traceability, and above all, advice. Their products, often from small producers who follow ancestral know-how, are aged in the shop, in a cave. On the refrigerated shelves, you can find all the French classics: brie, morbier, beaufort and roquefort, camembert, and brillat savarin, but also cheeses from elsewhere: cheddar, Spanish manchego, or authentic Greek feta.recque. Authenticity of flavors does not prevent modernity: a dedicated website traces the journey of the merchandise, with a brief explanation for each product.

The Institution: Barthélémy

Cheese master and defender of French gastronomic diversity, Roland Barthélémy is a passionate man known around the world as President of the Guild of Cheesemakers. He has traveled to the four corners of the planet to promote raw milk cheeses and their diversity. His wife Nicole took over the shop, offering delicious farm cheeses from the best regions, perfectly aged and in season: Saint-Nectaire with a taste of the earth, crumbly Cantal or Salers, and even Fontainebleau, which once made his reputation...

Next to the truffle goat cheese, raclette cheese with bear's garlic, a spoonful of gorgonzola, aged farm goudas, fresh appetizer creams... Fine and excellent cheeses. And to accompany all of this? Fine charcuterie, jams from the world champion, fresh bread, honey from a young beekeeper, garlic creams, oak barrel-aged beer, single varietal champagne, wines from "friendly small producers"... Not to mention the tasting cellar, where one can happily sit and savor all these delights...

Best value for money: the Latte Cisternio cooperative 

We would like to keep La Cooperativa a secret, but it's impossible not to mention it in this top. We go there for the excellent value for money: the huge burrata for only €5 or the buffalo mozzarella for €4.90. But also for the typical Italian atmosphere. The only downside is the queue: be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes. Luckily, there are three locations!

The most renowned: Quatrehomme

When two cheese enthusiasts come together, it might just result in the best cheesemonger in Paris. The star? The reblochon en cocotte. But they also have roquefort, aged or fresh goat cheese, Sainte-Maure, alpine Beaufort, Selles-sur-Cher, truffle brie, etc... The possibilities are endless.

The most well-stocked: La Fermette

At La Fermette, there is enough to make your head spin. With 250 cheese references, there is a wide range of French cheeses, as well as Dutch, Italian, and even English cheeses. The counter in front of the shop allows you to quickly buy your favorite cheese; the line inside can sometimes be quite long. Worth trying? The brie and goat cheese that melt like butter in your mouth, and their black Pyrenean tome.

; very strong taste that perfectly accompanies the burger.

The best burrata: Taka & Vermo

The best thing about burrata is the creamy heart, we all agree on that. So at Taka & Vermo, they offer you the heart of Burrata, also known as stracciatella with raw milk from Puglia. The two partners have traveled across France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, and Switzerland to meet the producers they work with today: 10,000 km traveled, finally opening a cheese shop filled with excellent products, and accompanied by a maturation room.

The most rock : Cheeses and babble

A glance at the shop window is enough to awaken the taste buds. It must be said that besides the delicious cheese, the antipasti awaken the lovers of Southern cuisine. If they have a soft spot for whole milk and farm cheeses, they offer a wide selection to finish your meals beautifully. Here you can create your own cheese board, which they even deliver to your home. Added bonus: vacuum packaging, so you can take all these delicacies with you on a trip, for example. Another added bonus: you'll never hear Arctic Monkeys in another cheese shop...

The top of the line : Laurent Dubois

It's no wonder Laurent Dubois was voted France's best craftsman in 2000. The displays are more enticing than the others, especially for lovers of bold-tasting cheeses. This kingdom of cheesemaking offers high-end products, following the rhythms of the seasons but also exceptional cheeses that cannot be found anywhere else, such as the Bleu de Termignon. Most of them are aged on site, in the aging cellars...

New Cheesemongers

If you're lacking inspiration, running late for dinner, or too busy to stop by the cheesemonger, the New Cheesemongers can adapt to your pace and deliver to your doorstep. Simply choose from their selection of 5 cheeses (Bleu de Laqueuille, Coeur de Neufchâtel, Saint Félicien Tentation, and they'll arrive at your door within 2 hours, every day, even on Sundays!

Why go to a cheese shop?

Everyone knows that no Parisian can be satisfied with the impersonal shelves of supermarkets to buy their cheese. Because only a good cheesemonger knows how to showcase the most emblematic element of our French heritage. Dressed in their immaculate aprons, they will always be ready to guide us through the world of dairy delights and advise us with passion and without pretension, to introduce us to cheese wonders that we knew nothing about before. And let me tell you, their expertise is as vast as the appetite of any Parisian.iddot;ne for a good piece of bread accompanied by its camembert.

The cheese factory is a story of the land, a secular tradition, passed down from generation to generation (no, no, we're not exaggerating). By going to them, we support small producers and all the passionate families hiding behind the counters. And above all, we have the privilege of tasting the result of artisanal know-how, and that, that is priceless.
