Fine Cheeses

[diesel]

Does anyone know of any place where you can buy fine cheese in OKC or around OKC?!?! I am looking for Cahill Cheddar.. Last time I found some was in Dallas... Any information would be great!!

[metro]

There are all sorts of deli's and places for fine cheeses. To start, try Crescent Market, Mediterranean deli, and there's another place I can't think of the name (Gourmet Gallery I think), but they have a location in Edmond and in Northpark Mall. There are also speciality gourmet wine and cheese stores in Edmond and Norman.

If you can't get it at Forward Foods in Norman, you might be out of luck.

Med Deli on North May is your best bet. Tell him what you want and he will special order for you...good luck.

[metro]

yeah Forward Foods in Norman has tons of things. Good call John, that is the place I was thinking of. Also as tuck and myself mentioned earlier, Mediterranean Foods is your best bets in the central part of the city.

Forward Foods in Norman would be the first place I'd call. Gourmet Gallery in Edmond may have what you're looking for also.

[Oh GAWD the Smell!]

Is there any kind of cheese that isn't "fine"?

I like all of it. It's all gouda.

[leh]

Fast Forward and Mediterranean Deli are the closest to the "real" live breathable thing - not smothered in shrink wrap!! I hear there are plans to open a real cheese market in Edmond in the spring. That would be great

[soonerguru]

I would be shocked if Forward Foods in Norman doesn't have it, or at least wouldn't get it for you. They're on Main Street downtown. I would call them first, without question.

i've never heard of forward foods... other than cheese, what kind of stuff do they carry? what do they specialize in? how's their selection? sounds like a place i might have to visit.

Forward Foods is amazing.. Try their Red Dragon cheese..

[Martin]

[diesel]

[Martin]

what about Watonga Cheese on 39th St Expressway (Rt. 66) near Warr Acres. I've never been there but drive by it often. I doubt they specialize in premium cheese.

yeah i dont think they do.. i think they sell cheddar, and more cheddar.. could be wrong

Re: Watonga. . .correct. . . no artisan/fine cheeses. BUT, some really good cheddar!! MUCH better than the supermarket stuff. And, the "cheese curds" are a fun munchie!!
