Cheese Stores Collage

Cheese is a comfort food for some, and an essential for many. Whether it is a pizza featuring a mixture of cheeses, a simple macaroni and cheese overflowing with luscious cheese or even roti prata with a slice of cheese in it, one fact still remains—we absolutely love it.

This gooey, salty and luxurious treat is one of the most versatile ingredients around that goes with pretty much anything, but for hardcore foodies and cheese lovers like us, we all know that the best way to truly appreciate cheese in its full glory is to have it as it is—paired with perhaps a robust wine or dried fruit.

Well, the good news is that there are many gourmet stores and cheesemongers in Singapore, allowing us better access to fine cheeses from around the world.

Serving up an impressive variety of imported artisanal cheeses from mild cheddar to the funkier taleggio, here are 10 speciality cheese stores in Singapore you can depend on for your next cheese and wine get-together.
