Where to buy Cheddar in Warsaw?

Oh yes, especially if you keep it in the wee wooden box, put in some cloves of garlic and bake it in the oven for a bit and voila...you have the unhealthiest but tastiest dip ever :D

Spoken like a true connosieur, nice one. Cheese is sophisticated and should be treated as such.

Have you tried Cambozola? It's Gorgonzola meets Camembert. Tasty stuff.

Sure is that. That's my mum's favourite cheese. I like my cheeses a bit stronger if I am going down the blue route, Lanark Blue is particularly nice.

I went through a cheese obsession a wee while back...this link is a good reminder of that:

In Philly there is a street I call Cheese Row. There can be found a number of cheese shops with every conceivable kind of cheese for sale. Great giant wheels of all kinds and hanging cheeses bigger than me! It’s a wonderful place, like Cheese Heaven. They also sell spices and vinegars. It’s part of the Italian Market where all the really good restaurants and distributors throughout the region get their cheeses and other quality food stuffs. Whenever I am near I stop and get some. I don’t really know my cheeses, I just try the samples offered until I find something that appeals to me at the moment. I like a good Blue and the Parmesan for cooking. I took a buddy there one time and he spent like $300.

Danish blue is also great. Poland has a cheese called Lazur which I really like.

Apologies, you are quite right.


Oh no, that was a great shop.

A friend of mine outside Olsztyn makes Swiss style hard cheese. We brought a load back to Glasgow once... 27 hours on the coach to London and then 9 hours to Glasgow (and it was pretty ripe to begin with). One of the lads kept his with him, rather than in the luggage hold!

By Glasgow the driver comes up, "Has somebody been sick? There's a terrible smell!"

Bought a good Irish Land Cheddar from Cork (in Tesco). Quite expensive at 14PLN for 200grams but it tastes sublime!

Piotr i Paweł in Blue City hace some nice Cheddar. So do most branches of Mini Europa.

Red Leicester is available in Carrefour Arkadia.

I'm English, and I live in England, and I don't buy Cheddar from Tesco. It tastes revolting. The named brands are ok (Cathedral City, etc...), but if you want proper Cheddar... Sainsbury's taste the difference range is the best!

When I go over to see my girlfriend in Poland, that is the choice for me. Also I take alot of English bacon as everyone loves it, doesn't matter what country your in!

And just incase someone thinks I'm trying to plug Sainsbury's, I work for Tesco's.

They sell it in Auchan and Alma both of which are in Piaseczno. Not as cheap as back home but if your irish then you cant live without it.

Polish chedder is 15 pln a kg and it taste good. But in the US/UK chedder is like very common boring cheese like white bread just basic and boring. If you live in Poland why not go for the more exotic Polish cheeses?

It's not possible to make cheddar at that price! You must be talking about 'ser żółty' which is mainly vegetable fat.


such as?

start with Oszczypek

I've tried Oscypek - personally it's not my cup of tea.

what else do you recommend?

mmm Polish cheese, another superior product ;)~~

wouldn't expect else from such a "cheesy culture".. ;)

oscypek is the best!


give the oscypek another try!

;)

dobre bo Polskie, LOL

too salty :/

comes with beer then... :)

i hate beer lol (i like the fruity ones! cos they don't taste like beer ;D)

ah.... cmon... i lose my faith in a woman beer connoisseur... ;)

i'm no beer connoisseur sorry. but with cider, that's a different story ;)

I dont think the polish peeps on the forum understand, foreigners in Poland want their own cheddar cheese because its a bit from home. Not everyone wants to convert to eating pierogi and flaki etc. Just the same as how polish people mainly shop in the polish shops in

uk and ireland. Its all about having a piece of something from home, its a comfort thing and
you need that when your feeling homesick.

Also some polish people think our white bread is nutritionless, tasteless and boring, but its what we are used to and its what we grew up on. For me polish bread tastes very bland and strange or savory or something, I dont enjoy eating it to be honest, but its different strokes for different folks.

Agreed.

However I'd also say that I have simply not found a Polish cheese which is anything like as strong as Cheddar. I love Polish cheeses, don't get me wrong, can anyone recommend a strong cheese? (Not blue cheese, or anything sheepy etc, Cheddar strong!)

Biedronka amd Auchens sells cheap and good cheddar. Anyone who pays more than 30 pln is a fool.
