OKTOBERFEST CHEESES ARE HERE 🇩🇪🧀🍺

Oktoberfest is this weekend, and frankly we’ll take any excuse to bring in some big German cheeses.

We’ve got two rather special ones on the counter: the ever-popular Alp Blossom, and, after two years away, the truly unique Alpencheddar.

Alpencheddar is a brilliantly unusual mash-up of Cheddar and Alpine cheesemaking. Made by Albert Kraus, the cheesemaker behind Alp Blossom, he takes a whole Quicke’s Cheddar, breaks it down and mixes it with the same raw milk he uses for his Alpine cheeses.

From there, it’s made in a traditional Alpine style, giving you the sweet nuttiness of a great Alpine cheese alongside the bright acidity of Cheddar, with a delicious fruity, almost apricot finish. Soft, creamy and utterly delicious.

And, of course, there’s Alp Blossom itself. Rich, buttery and aromatic, with its spectacular coating of dried Alpine flowers and herbs.

Both are on the counter right now, alongside bottles of Rothaus Pilsner, about as good a German b**r as you can get your hands on this side of the Channel.

Big German cheese. Cold German b**r. Oktoberfest sorted. 🍺🧀

In this week Shilling! This dinky little goat’s milk cheese is made by friends at White Lake (creators of SE25 favourites such as Eve and Rachel). It’s made in the style of a French Crottin. The curd is pre-drained, which gives the paste a firmness, a little fudginess making it perfect for salads, or baked, grilled on the barbecue, or just shoved directly into your face.

Our small batch is eating perfectly with notes of citrus and a refreshing acidity, coupled with a funky rind giving it some more savoury flavours and a distinct nuttiness of macadamia and almonds.

Something a bit different this week! L’Etivaz is back in the shop, and we’d forgotten just how good it is.

Only two wheels are made each day, and only during the Summer months, when the snow has melted and the cows can graze the high mountain pastures of the southwestern Swiss Alps.

Cheesemakers Frederic and Irene Chabloz have a tiny chalet 1,550 metres above sea level, where they keep just 24 traditionally bred Swiss cows and make the cheese by hand. The milk is warmed in copper cauldrons over open log fires, giving the finished cheese its distinctive smoky, saline character.

At just a few days old, the wheels travel down the mountain to the ageing cellars in the tiny village of L’Etivaz. The result is something like a Gruyère from another time. Supple and sweet, with butterscotch and caramel nuttiness, floral notes and a lovely savoury, smoky finish.

This is the third season of L’Etivaz we’ve tasted, and every year we forget quite how special it is. It’s a powerful cheese, but beautifully balanced, and an absolute star.

Only a few bottles left! 🍷

We were delighted to be one of just eight locations chosen to stock Other Amphora Aged Grenache — a remarkable Moroccan w**e produced in a tiny quantity of only a few hundred bottles.

Made from 100% Grenache, a black grape, this white w**e is aged in amphora, giving it a beautiful softness. Expect minerality, stone and tropical fruit, with a delicate hint of red berries.

The grapes are grown in the AOC Hauts Plateaux de Meknès, in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, where growers are adapting their agricultural and w**emaking practices to work with increasingly extreme climatic conditions.

The quality of the w**e speaks for itself — and we now have only a handful of bottles remaining.
Once they’re gone, they’re gone. Find yours in our little corner of SE25.

What a difference five years makes! Today (14 August) marks exactly five years since we received the keys for 212A Selhurst Road. It’s also five years since we discovered a lot of asbestos in the shop - what a transformation it’s been!

When we started, we used to get incredulous questions such as ‘you’re opening a cheese shop… in South Norwood??!’, but our decision was always built upon our faith in our community, that they’d want a shop like this on their high street.

The fact that we’re here, still standing after five years, proves that faith was well placed. It’s been a bumpy ride, but the fact that we now have a bigger team, more customers, and are still going strong as a British-specialist cheese shop is a source of humongous pride to the two of us.

So thank you for helping make it happen, and for continuing to support Little Mouse’s existence.

We will be celebrating our 5th birthday proper in November, and news about our 5th birthday party will be coming very soon. In the meantime, come and raise a glass at Little Mouse LATES tonight.

Yesterday the Little Mouse team had a wonderful day out on Ned Palmer’s Cheesemongers Tour of London

An inspiring jaunt around London Bridge and Borough Market, we discovered the history of London through cheese; how the city ate, traded and grew, and where cheese fits into the story.

We finished up in a historic London pub, where we got down to the very important business of tasting cheese and learning about pairing it with b**r.

Such a brilliant day, and always a treat to be on the other side of the counter, learning, tasting and getting inspired.

Thanks Ned!

We get excited about new cheeses. - Really excited!
So when Fen Farm Dairy announced Punch, we knew we had to get it in. If you're already a Baron Bigod fan, this is one you need to try.

Made with rich summer milk while the cows are out grazing, it's a small washed-rind cheese with a beautifully silky, lactic paste and gentle ye**ty aromas. Expect buttery richness, savoury notes and just the right amount of "punch" - sorry

Just arrived today and we have a very limited stock! So be quick...

Summer is definitely cheese board season! No cooking required just pop it on board, add a few extras and a glass of w**e and you're done!

Here we've gone for a sweet and salty Kern, a rich buttery Tunworth and a fresh tangy goat's cheese, but the possibilities are endless!

What's on your favourite board?
