Where to buy British mature Cheddar Cheese and salted butter in Poland?

I bought today the two last ones here in Młociny...Let's hope Lidl will repeat the exercise soon. By the way Wroc, please enlighten me...I thought all cheese is per definition vegetarian?

Yes, those of us in Wro can only dream of the access to mature cheddar some lucky people have elsewhere in the country where mature cheddar at Lidl (and Bedronka) is stocked daily like milk and potatoes !

The one thread of hope we have is that they will eventually roll this out to Wro -- maybe one day. We can indeed but dream...

Still I would like to know why not all cheese is vegetarian???
It is a bit mystifying how Lidl distributes their stuff. I could understand there would not be really a public for it let's say way down in some hamlet on the BY border...But Wrocław?

I know, it's hard to believe, and I will keep checking every time I pass a Lidl, but I reckon they all get the same stock here.

Unfortunately, animal rennet is still used in a lot of cheese here.

i have a pack of Cathedral City *extra* mature cheese in my fridge .. .perhaps I should auction it off :)

The curds and whey are separated using rennet, an enzyme complex normally produced from the stomachs of newborn calves (in vegetarian or kosher cheeses, bacterial-, yeast- or mould-derived chymosin is used).[

I'll swap you half a pack of salt & vinegar crisps for it. I'll even throw in a lollypop that has hardly been licked at all. Surely nobody will offer you a better deal than that!

Some Carrefour branches until 09.12: Kerrygold mature cheddar approx or just under 40zł a kilo, from the deli counter.

Saw today in our local Lidl again Cheddar - the three varieties. They are also in their new promotions' folder. So it looks as if they ar stocking up again.

I hope Wroc also will find some in his local shop :)

Sounds like your branch gets a lot of stock or the cheese sells at a slower rate there. Here it sells out on the first day, for whatever reason. Thanks for the tip -- I'll check Lidl again on the 15th or 16th but it looks like they're only going to be selling the same varieties again which aren't really what I want, although they'll do for cheese sauce.

Have been to Fenix at the marketsquare. They have quite a variety of Kerrygold cheddars, there was: Vintage cheddar, red cheddar, mature cheddar and dubliner. Previously Ive only seen just one type... Will have to try some when my fridge gets a bit more empty ;)

In which city?

He means Fenicks or Fenwicks in Wro.


Unfortunately, they aren't cheap for regular users I mean consumers ;o)

Sorry, yeah I meant Wrocław.

It's called Feniks: feniks.wroc.pl
Here's the proof :) i.imgur.com/O2uo9aF.jpg
They cost 11zł. Could be worse.

For 200g? Whadya think, I work for Credit Suisse or somethin'?! I can't afford that on a regular basis, I'll have to go cold cheddar now until I return to Asdaland.

Mind you, it's the best price in Wroc that I know of for Kerrygold, apart from the special offer I posted above. I think I prefer Cathedral City though if push comes to shove.

mature Cheddar from your socks would be much cheaper :D

Ironside, if that's what American mature cheddar tastes like, you should get yourself over to Britain.

Some Isle of Man and Farmhouse cheddar in some Wrocław Lidls, literally a few packs left (6.66zł, 240g). This is the same range as was carried in recent weeks. That ends this newsflash, and I now return you to your regular reading.

I found these 3 types below in the Lidl at plac Strzegomski in Wrocław. There was also this Scottish Mature beside the ones you've mentioned. Pic below:

Btw. wonder what's with the devilish number ; )

Sold out here in Młociny almost the moment I typed my previous post. Anyway I stocked up on Valley Spire for some time to come :)

Yeah I wondered that, too, tbh.


OK, some Wro Lidls recently had a smallish stock of Valley Spire. Whether it's a temporary or permanent line I don't know but they are calling it nowosc as if it's a permanent line. 400g 11.99

But before you slam down the lid on your laptop and leg it to a Lidl in Wrocław, please note it's sold out at the branches I checked. There is a rumour, if I understood the lady correctly, that they might have a small box in stock this evening. But, probably that's not what she said.

I don't know if VS is vegetarian or not, as I haven't yet got my hands on a pack. I will update the thread if and when I do.

If you check Lidl's webpage by Sunday you will see what is going to be featured starting Monday morning. So next Monday will again be the Deluxe white and orange cheddar, they are both really good. I go after dropping off my kids to school at 8am right when they open and snag as many as I want, but the next day they are pretty much gone. And they only have them a few times a year, so I stock up and freeze it as well!

Kuchnia Świata in Arkadia are selling mature cheddar for 54zl a kilo, mild cheddar somewhat cheaper. I was in there today and they seemed to have plenty. At the back of the shop on the left as you go in.

Some nice Dutch cheese too.

Valley Spire mature cheddar remains out of stock at some (or all) branches of lidl in Wro.

Wroc, I saw this evening in my local Lidl in Młociny once again these 3 kinds of Cheddat - not VS. Maybe some also came your way?

Bugger. Every time I go there, they've run out. Maybe you're buying all of it?
;-)

Thanks, yeah I know about those although not sure they have that range in again at the Lidls here (they might tomorrow). I don't really like that range although they're undoubtedly very good for what they are. I just want a normal mature cheddar (preferably vegetarian) and so am hoping for either Hatherwoods (made by Adams, UK) or VS which I think is made in good old Ireland (and probably vegetarian). Biedronkas here (checked about 10) are not selling their cheddar at the moment, but when they do the 10-month is just about OK. I can get a normal mature at Tesco sometimes or Carrefour or Auchan, but they tend to be much more expensive than Lidl, and for regular use that can be quite a difference in cost over a year. In terms of taste, however, Cathedral City mature from Tesco is probably the best if paying that sort of price. Hatherwoods from Lidl is just as good in my opinion and much cheaper, when it's available.

Nope. Besides my sister arrived today with a truckload of Trappist Westmalle cheese. And nope, no Cheddar can equal that one. And neither it is for sale in any Lidl :)

Btw this guy is going home for Christmas :)

Some Valley Spire was delivered to some Wrocław branches this morning, so far it's selling reasonably quickly in the branch I checked (Powstancow Sl) with 40% gone already. It is odpowiedni dla wegetarian (suitable for vegetarians) thankfully. It's made by Dale of County Tyrone, N.I.

I did not spot the 3 other cheese varieties in the Deluxe range, btw. They probably sold out.

Jon, I hate to disappoint you, but in our mutual Lidl I today saw again Cheddar (of the three varieties)...
Did not buy it. I have now a mountain of Westmalle Trappist cheese, which is infinitely so much better :)

The Trappist cheese sounds nice.

Probably at Lidl they wait until they see me arrive and hide the cheddar. Biedronki on Heroldów had Lavazza coffee beans on special offer today though. The bags are slightly battered looking which is probably why they're cheap. Not in the coffee aisle though - at the bottom of the aisle next to the alcohol one
