Magdalen Cheese and Provisions

About

We opened our doors on Magdalen Road in October 2021, choosing to name our shop after the wonderful street and community we are so lucky to be a part of.

Our mission is to source and sell the best traditionally-made cheeses and accompaniments. Our selection process starts with a product that tastes amazing but the how, why and where something is made are of equal importance. We are invested in supporting and highlighting British makers, giving traditional products a place on the modern table. 

Cheese is the heart of what we do. We select cheese on a weekly basis, going by what’s tasting the best at that time. This responsive way of buying cheese means everything is at it’s peak when it arrives to us. With our many years of Cheesemonger-ing, we have learned and developed our skills to be able to work with each cheese respectfully and keep it in the best condition possible. This means if you visit us you’ll find the best cheese, in the best condition, every time.

Outside of the cheese counter, you’ll find our shelves stocked with all sorts of goodies that pair with it. We find great joy in discovering new things we like to eat with cheese (or have for breakfast!). From rare UK grain crackers and sourdough bread, traditionally made pickles and ferments to organic, unhomogenised milk, whey butter and eggs. Charcuterie from Somerset to Piedmont. And, most recently, a small but carefully selected range of natural wines, ciders and beers.
