I can't believe I'd never checked it out before! Il Negozio Nicastro is a great boutique for aged vinegars, selected olive oils, chocolate galore, and CHEESE!! Many Ontario and Quebec cheeses, lots of raw milk noted, and the staff are ready to supply samples if you're looking to try something new.
We got a half-wheel of Upper Canada Cheese Co's Comfort Cream. Their website describes it thus: "A white, bloomy rind cheese with a silky, semi-soft creamy golden interior. Rich flavours of fresh truffles prevail with an intense, buttery palate and a long tangy finish. This delicate and luscious artisanal cheese in hand salted cheese is hand salted, hand turned and hand wrapped." I say: "Yummmmmmm". Melty in your mouth cheesy goodness.
One note of caution: while it may seem handy to pick up a fresh baguette on your way out the door, I don't recommend it. The baguettes were disappointingly airy and dusty, nothing like an artisinal French baguette should be. Even Ace is better.
