i realize that for all cheese lovers out there, cheddar may not be at the top of your list. it may not even be on your list. but if you are a little open-minded, i am positive that these cheddar cheeses will rock your world.
smoked salmon cheddar
the first one is the smoked salmon cheddar from the village cheese company, in armstrong, british columbia. it is so delicious, that the very day i was introduced to it, i immediately fell in love; and so did those whom i know have tasted it. i will admit it is not easy to find (my friend had actually bought it in armstrong), and after many stops i finally suggested to one of my favourite cheese shop that they order it, as i believed many of their customers would also enjoy it. and they did. so thanks to them, one can now get it from the mount pleasant cheese shop on cambie street, in vancouver. it is a lovely little shop that specializes in canadian cheeses, and if you haven’t strolled the cambie village post-construction, it is really worth it!

i also eventually found it at dussa’s ham & cheese shop in the granville island market, if you don’t mind the shoulder-to-shoulder shopping (a huge deterrent for some). i am certain other places do carry it (but unfortunately not les amis du fromage, so save yourself a trip — a fantastic cheese shop btw).
truffle cheddar
the other cheddar i recommend exploring is for the finer palates, as truffles are not for everyone. but this truffle cheddar is likely to make any truffle lovers fall head over heels. this is particularly yummy with a glass of red wine... but i’ll leave it to you to pair it with your favourite beverage. this find is from the mount pleasant cheese shop, and unfortunately i do not have any more information at this time for it, but if you do, please send me a note! and yes, those little black nuggets are actual pieces of truffles!
now i apologize for all those living outside british columbia, as these might not be available in your neck of the wood. however, an enrollment conversation with your favourite cheese shop can go a long way! ;)
