Our Cheese
The Pickled Fig try to keep around 50 different cheeses in stock at any one time. If you live locally and able to pop into the shop, tasters are always available, please just ask. As well as the favourites we also love to stock cheese you can't get at the supermarket so you can always expect to see something you haven't tried before when you buy from us.
Our cheese of the month is "Rougette Bavarian Red". If you haven't tried this already we assure you it's a real crowd pleaser.
A soft cheese made from cow's milk. It originates from the Bavaria region in Germany and is known for its creamy texture and distinctive red rind which comes from washing with brine and paprika. Rougette Bavarian Red cheese is a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of ways. It pairs well with crusty bread, crackers, and fresh fruit, and can also be used in salads, sandwiches, and as a topping for pizzas and pastas. What's not to love?

"Been here several times recently and never fails to disappoint. The coffee and biscoff brownies are amazing! Also had an incredible wine and cheese evening here which I can’t rave enough about! Particular favourite was the Sancerre Rose with the driftwood ash goats cheese (and a drizzle of honey!) - it was heaven! Can’t recommend enough!"
