khunken Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Recently Foodland has stopped selling New Zealand Cheddar cheese. They only sell Emborg & local versions of 'mild' Cheddar. For 'mild' read tasteless. I've tried Villa, Tops and the larger supermarkets - nothing like good tasty cheddar available. So, any suggestions on availability gratefully accepted.

mjperry Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 The best I've found recently has been in the gourmet market in Emporium, was a good strong mature english cheddar Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjie Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Don't tops carry Waitrose stuff? I bought some very nice cheddar fairly recently, it was on sale as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjperry Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Don't tops carry Waitrose stuff? I bought some very nice cheddar fairly recently, it was on sale as well. That's right they do, just tonight I ate some of the Waitrose west country farmhouse 12-month matured cheddar from my local tops @ Sukhumvit 41 which was reduced to clear, 74 Baht for a small 100g trial pack, it hit the spot but i preferred the one i picked up from Emporium before Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bojo Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 You most definitely get what you pay for here in Thailand. decent imported cheeses carry heavy import taxes, either that or the supermarkets have a monopoly or the demand is slow and therefore prices high. Excess and soiled stock costs money. For a mild cheddar, Macro carry a decent cheddar...2KG at around 599 or 699b, I forget. A fairly good compromise. regards Bojo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunken Posted July 26, 2009 Author Share Posted July 26, 2009 Many thanks to everyone who posted a reply. I'll certainly take up your suggestions for Foodland, Tops, Emporium & CEntral Chidlom - one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugJackBaron Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 I will second the sugggestion of the gourmet at the emporium. It is the only one that seems to have old cheddar. As for Chesire....I have never seen it Thailand. Not in places high or low Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLaughingMan Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Maybe I'm ignorant on what good old cheddar is but Villa sells 2 brands of OLD cheddar, very strong and I love it. Vintage and cracker barrel I think, both have old cheddar as well as mild and medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Fish Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't consider myself qualified to add to the comments above, but I would like to say that I'm always entertained by the enthusiastic response to any cheese threads. If thaivisa had a 'level 2' cheese would be the way to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaijai Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Tops carries Mainland Vintage, pretty respectable imported cheddar. http://www.mainlandcheese.com/Products/Vin...ddar_cheese.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phetaroi Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I've been looking for monteray jack for when I make tacos. (Not to mention lactose free milk...and I do mean cow's milk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
