Some might say that Venissimo stinks...

And we would have to agree (in a good way, of course)!  This month we are featuring our favorite stinky cheeses.  These are washed rind beauties that while aromatic, are also incredibly complex & exciting.  From Epoisses (banned from public transport in Paris) to Red Hawk (triple creme with teeth), there is so much more than Limburger in the stinky cheese world.  We introduce Hittisau from Austria's famed Bregenzerwald.  You won't want to miss England's very own Stinking Bishop, Wisconsin's Tilston Point Blue nor Italy's Rosso di Langa.  Stop by for a sniff & a nibble.

Look at all the cheeses we've had...

Below is a complete list of every cheese we have ever carried (more than 1375 of them)!  If we don't have it today, just ask the Cheese Wiz if we can get it tomorrow. Our selection changes daily, so check back often (hopefully, our inventory will never be as light as in this infamous Monty Python cheese shop sketch):
