“Cheese: milk’s leap towards immortality” Clifton Paul Fadiman
Cheese is a wonder to us at peasant cheese, with its many faces, flavours, and textures. Made by young and old, in batches small and large, coming to us through the centuries from humble roots where necessity was the greatest inventor. No wonder we love it!
Imagine the sheer joy when opening a new wheel of one of our favourite cheeses: the first whiff of the rind, the little squeeze to check for ripeness, the slide of the knife through the paste, and then that first lovely taste.
Once the delectable wheels are open, the real fun begins: finding the right cheese for you. Time and place are important in selecting a cheese: is it for nibbling, cooking, for lunch, brunch, snacks, or dinner? Are you drinking wine, beer, cocktails, milk, or tea? We want you to experience all the delight that cheese can bring.
And what would cheese be without bread, crackers, preserves, charcuterie and all the trimmings? Peasant offers great choices for any time of day and all kinds of moments.
Great place, friendly staff…thanks for a delicious lunch.
So delighted to happen upon your shop on Sunday. Such a fabulous selection of palate pleasers, that I felt like I was back in the French Alps! Thank you for the welcoming and inviting atmosphere and service… I’m back in formage heaven😇
Careful, one visit will have you going back for more!
Love this place! The staff are amazingly knowledgeable about something I used to take for granted. I almost never buy cheese in a grocery store anymore. And those castelvetrano olives…mouthwatering!
The best shop in Kensington by far !!!
And close to Hillhurst united 🙂 Hee hee
Your charcuterie platter and cheese selection last night for the Kensington Wine Market Italian wine tasting were superb!
Thanks David! We are delighted you enjoyed the evening and our selections.
A quick visit back to Calgary, made extra special by the fab service, and cheese at Peasant! I think you need a satalite store on Vancouver Island, Duncan perhaps! 😁
