SO UNEXPECTED! This was definitely NOT an ordinary day at the supermarket! This may just be the place to forever change how you experience grocery shopping! PRIVATE TOUR While we were exploring the store, we were approached by Alex Eidelman, the social media rep for Cheese Boutique. "Would you like a private free tour of the place?". Would we??? "Ummm ... YES, please!" FROM ITALY, WITH LOVE The tour started in my favourite "room" in the store - "The Italian Room", featuring wall-to-wall pasta. Now, grab your pens! The brand to note is La Fabbrica Della Pasta di Gragnano - pasta made in Italy, but exclusively for Canada! Alex explained that if you go to any of the top restaurants in Canada, the pasta served is likely the brands sold here! So for those who want to impress your dinner guests, you know where you need to be right now! But AFTER reading the juicy details to follow . . . NOTEABLE KNIGHTS Just before exiting The Italian Room, Alex points to a poster along the side of the door, with a single word : "Chevalier". What does that word mean? A chevalier is an order of merit given by the Order of the Confrérie des Chevaliers du Taste Fromage de France. So the list of people on this post have been knighted and worthy as Ambassadors of Cheese! At the ceremony of this elaborate event, there were horses and swords and robes, and a selected few were actually knighted! The importance of this piece was to proudly share these facts: Knights are not normally honoured outside of France, that both the owner and son are noted Chevaliers, and that the owner's son, Afrim Pristine, is the youngest knighted Chevalier in the World! Let it be known: Take their cheese seriously here! CAVED IN! After the Italian Room, we had the privilege of entering the "Cheese Cave". That's right, not a freezer, not a cellar, but a "cave", designed to have temperatures mimicking that of the natural caves of Switzerland! Apparently, the specific temperature of a Swiss cave is ideal for the maturation of cheese. Here, you can see a full array of various sized cheese wheels and packages that have been aged - and aged specifically for the famous chefs, top restaurants, and influential people in the city! I randomly saw name tags for Susur Lee, Langdon Hall, The Four Seasons, and The R.O.M. Each "bundle" is said to be worth thousands of dollars! Alex proudly pointed to his name on one of the tags. Lucky duck! DARE ME! When we walked by the dairy products, Alex pulled out a $20 palm-sized package of Truffle Oil from the fridge. "This is crack!", he says, with a smirk as to dare us! SOLD! I quickly snagged one. SAY WHAT? Finally, all great events must end with dessert! Alex suggested we head over to the Gelato Section and try a traditional Italian treat: Gelato & Balsamic Vinaigrette! But brace yourself! There's something I need to mention before you buy this treat! The balsamic vinegarette used for this treat is - $25 for a shot - or $300 a bottle - and you HAVE to have it with the "fior di latte" gelato. Why is it $25 per shot? It's been aged for 25 years! But it's completely worth it to try because the taste is exquisite! Everything is made in-house. DREAMY This was the first time I had heard ofThe Cheese Boutique, and walked away very charmed. The experience was heightened, thanks to the gracious Alex Eidelman. for sharing his cheese expertise! This cute little European-focused market is quite the foodie experience, from start to end. A bit pricey, but if you are a foodie or chef, you will discover it is more than a "food fantasy" ...
