Anyone who enjoys putting good cheese on the table can easily linger longer than planned at Fromagerie Bon. The shop on the Oude Rijn is entirely dedicated to cheese, wine, and delicacies, with an assortment that goes beyond the well-known French classics.
The counter displays cheeses from various countries in diverse styles and ages. From soft and creamy cheeses to firmly aged varieties and distinctive blue cheeses: discovery and combination are central here.
Cheese with a story
Fromagerie Bon selects cheeses from various makers and affineurs. In addition to foreign cheeses, you will also find Dutch farmhouse cheeses, including various ripenings of raw milk farmhouse cheese.
The shop has a clear fondness for French cheese culture, but does not limit itself to it. This makes it a good place when you are specifically looking for one particular cheese, but also when you want advice on something you are not yet familiar with.
A matching wine or other drink can be taken along immediately, so you don't have to figure out yourself which combination goes well together.
More for the charcuterie board
Cheese is the star, but certainly not the only thing you will find here. Fromagerie Bon also sells charcuterie and makes its own pâtés and terrines. In addition, there are various delicacies and products to complete a charcuterie board.
Those who prefer not to put everything together themselves can opt for curated cheese and snack packages. This also makes the shop interesting if you want to take something along for dinner, drinks, or as a gift.
Tasting instead of just choosing
If you would like to get to know various cheeses in more detail, Fromagerie Bon also organizes cheese tastings. During these events, multiple types are tasted side by side, and matching wines can be served.
This way, you learn not only which cheese you like, but also how different types of milk, regions of origin, and ripening processes create completely different flavors.
For enthusiasts and curious beginners
You don't need to be a cheese connoisseur at Fromagerie Bon. Especially when you don't yet know exactly what you're looking for, you can seek advice and explore different directions.
Whether you are looking for one beautiful piece of cheese to take home, want to put together a complete charcuterie board, or want to spend an evening tasting different cheeses: Fromagerie Bon is all about choosing well, combining, and, of course, tasting.
