You might consider becoming Manila’s first Fromager Affineur, start digging your cave for ageing cheese properly… Throw in some spice racks, chocolates and charcuterie and you have something close to those wonderful little shops all over Europe.

So far I havent found a store that carries triple creams here. I suppose it would be considered a fresh cheese and has a relatively short shelf life so it would spoil quickly. Best bet is if a friend comes in from HK or Singapore, maybe they can bring back some cheese for you.

I finally got a few minutes to read this post on cheese. I also “smuggled” 5 lbs of cheese from the Northwest into Manila, handcarried it in. The folks at the cheese store said I was the first customer to ask for packaging to keep the cheese in shape for an overseas trip. We ended up packing it with a cooler gel to keep the temps right for the cheeses. I didn’t want to chance bringing in soft cheeses, so stuck to aged cheeses (goat and cheddar, plus a really good raw milk fontina I think.) Shared it with friends over a wine and cheese party right after I got in.

Hey MM, when you next travel suggest you explore the cheeses of the UK. I was impressed by the variety and quality. Check out Neil’s Yard Dairy on the Web. My favorite London cheese shop :)

Schatzli your itinerary is making me envious! Actually, the luggage hold is the best place to transport cheese. They keep it at about 45-50 degrees fahreinheit to save on gas to heat the compartment. Therefore, it’s great for most food items… better than the cabin overhead bins that are at around 60-70 degrees! I have also taken home meats but sometimes in a cooler to ensure that they stay closer to 35 degrees! Enjoy the small but beautiful markets in the South of France.

Bonjour MM didnt the roquefort melt inside the luggage?
and the chevre?
am reading your post here in Antibes, am off to lunch soon to my favourite Provencal cuisine restaurant covered with vines fragrant with summer blooms.

and later we will visit my husbands favourite cheese shop in Cannes…

Speaking of cheeses I took over 5 kilos of feta to UK I asked my cheese guy to wrap it properly and I normally hand carry it but it was heavy so I placed it inside my bag.
