I’ll try to pop in and give it a try when/if I am in the area this next week.
And you say the shop is cheaper than Breeze and City Super? Hmm . . . this could be a great find. If so, I’ll do my part to make sure that this space does not become a Net or a Hang Ten shop next.
You’re in for a treat. It’s in the basement of the Far Eastern Mall at the foot of Dunhua S. Rd. To my mind it’s every bit as good as Breeze or Jason’s. They have a quite wonderful of selection of cheeses, with special emphasis on those small Normandy farmhouse cheeses like Petit Livarot, St. Aubrey, Pont l’Eveque and a bunch of others. They keep them very well, too.
[quote=“Elegua”]City Super is very good for what it has- but Jason’s still got a better total selection. The gorgonzola at Jason’s is much better.
BTW: Did you see that English cheddar at Jason’s that per gram costs about the same as platinum?[/quote]
The English Cheeses they have got at Jason’s and others are imported by an English Chap down in Taichung who is more than happy to do direct deliveries at more affordable (level of the price of Gold) rates. jeffoasis@seed.net.tw Can highly recommend their Cheddar and Stilton.
There are some very good cheeses in Taiwan and we at Go West are a supplier of such.
These cheeses are available to all at Forumosa, for details, pricing and delivery please feel free to PM, email or call. Thanks. Go West.
The availability of so many varieties of cheeses are another reason why Taiwan is so much more liveable now than 10 years ago. I remember making special trips to the Florida Bakery to get blue cheese back then.
We have been taken aback by the requests for information, so whilst we struggle to respond to you all personally please find below a summary of all our current products.
At the centre of the Clawson range is traditional Blue Stilton. It is a creamy coloured semi-hard cheese with greenish blue veining radiating from its centre and has a coat which is crusty, slightly wrinkled with a greyish brown hue. Blue Stilton is normally aged to around 8 weeks. Case
