If it’s possible to find someone in Toronto who is not a cheese lover, it’s probably because he or she has never visited the Cheese Emporium. Step inside this shrine to all things curds and whey, and you can’t help but be converted into a cheese lover for life. If the aroma of fresh cheddars, gruyeres and camemberts doesn’t capture your attention, the mighty display case with a dizzying display of cheeses certainly will.
From Goudas to Gorgonzola, Roquefort to Romano, Mozarella to Monterey Jack, the Cheese Emporium has something for everyone, and something for every meal. “Cheese is for everyday, not just for celebrations,” says Steve Maggirias, who owns the beloved cheese shop with locations in midtown and on the Danforth. Which is why many of the cheeses in store make the perfect accompaniment for casual dinners, light lunches or just for snacking — including Havarti and cheddar, mild cheeses that go with just about anything, anytime.
