We have a store here which has around 250 varieties in stock. It is a wall of cheese. It is all organized by country of origin, then by type within that.

I was in there today and managed to skirt around the cheese aisle. Somehow.

My grandfather had a little country store with a cellar. Every year my dad would get a large wheel of cheddar from the local creamery (wrapped in cheesecloth and stored in a balsam box) and put it down in the cellar. When the cheese had aged 2 years, he brought it out at Christmas to sell. That was some seriously good cheese. Very sharp and crumbly. Our traditional New Year's Eve dish was Welsh Rarebit made with that stuff. Damn it was good.
