Hot Plates: Emile & Solange, Albion
"In Normandy, it's all about the cheese, and the butter and the milk - so you learn about it even if you don't want to. It's part of the culture," Thuillet says. "I grew up around cheese - we didn't ever have a lunch or a dinner without it."

MUST DO BRISBANE
Say Brie Mine to Emile & Solange
“Imagine you’re wandering through an alleyway in Paris, and you come across a small but homely cheese store. Inside, you’re greeted by the charming owner with her thick French accent, as you marvel at the selection of cured meats and the cabinet of cheese that takes up most of the store, then taste everything you possibly can before leaving with a large paper bag filled with fromage and quince paste.”
GOURMAND & GOURMET
Sweet dreams are made of cheese at Albion’s Emile & Solange
"Emile & Solange stocks the likes of Gres des Vosges from Alsace, Alpine cheeses such as Beaufort D’Alpage and Abondance, Raclette Livradoux (with raclette grills available to purchase or rent), Petit Berthaut from Époisses and goat’s cheese from Cabecou du Perigord in the Midi-Pyrénées region of France. This is only small selection of the 55-plus varieties on offer, with a large contingent of Australian cheeses hand-selected by Sarah herself ."
