Who was the greatest circus performer of all time? Sureshot Annie Oakley, perhaps, or Jules Leotard, celebrated in song as “The Daring Young Man on the Flying Trapeze”? There is no way to win the argument, just as there is no way to sample just some of The Cheese Shop’s offerings and declare one to be the best. You can shop by country of origin, by style, by type of milk used. Want a young cheese? No problem. Cave aged? Of course. There are hundreds, cut to order. But the little shop is also stuffed with jams, honey, mustard, wine and more. It’s all good.
