Hunter Valley Smelly Cheese Shop


Along with the great range of stinky desirables filling the cheese counter and gloriously whiffy fromagerie fridge, there are deli platters, pizzas, burgers and baguettes to take away or eat on the deck, as well as superb gelato. Good daily specials and a cheery attitude prevail despite the besieging hordes. There’s another branch in Pokolbin Village.
