Wow! Xavier has an amazing cheese selection. If you're searching for cheese in Toulouse, I suggest shopping at Xavier. The Denver cheesemonger I was traveling with was certainly pleased.
When I walked in, the first thing that caught my attention was the accessibility. All the cheese was uncovered and not hidden behind casing. Of course, respect the cheese at all times.They had clever signs denoting the name, animal, and originating region. And if you were providing cheese for a party, they might insert tiny plastic cards denoting this same cheese information.
The two cheesemongers hustled about, helping customers, filling up their baskets with single units and varying weighted cheese wedges. You could also purchase huge dark pain.
For those traveling back to the US, Xavier does offer cryo-vac, so your cheese will keep well during your remaining travels. Hopefully, they don't get confiscated by the uninformed US border patrol.
