What an incredible experience, from the decor, the warm hospitality that was shown and of course the cheeses! My friend and I tried the 3 cheese, salami and pickle toastie, and the three cheese tasting platter. MIND. BLOWN. The toastie was crispy, cheesy, fragrant, and the pickle cut through the fatty taste of the salami and cheese perfectly. And the tasting platter was just equally scrumptious though I have to admit my favourite has to be the Bloomy cheese. What a cheese.

Read moreLovely shop. My friends and I came to Robertson to visit the Big Potato, and eat a pie. I happened to see a collection of shops across the road which piqued my interest and I'm very happy I went and had a sticky beak. Pecora dairy isn't a large store but what it lacks in quantity it more than makes up for in quality. The cheeses, and other products, are all locally made. In addition to cheese there are patés, terrines, cured meats, butter, chocolate, honey, salts, and platter accessories. The store clerk was very informative and helpful to deciding which items we...
