Beillevaire

Bordeaux


This artisan fromager and crémier is a sheer delight for local foodies who shop here for boutique cheeses and creamy yellow butter hand-moulded in fat curvaceous patties near Nantes. Don't miss the demi-sel croquant butter, studded with crunchy crystals of rock salt. If you want to take some cheese home with you, ask for it to be vacuum-packed.
