What a wonderful shop! I went to look (I like smelly cheeses), but my friend didn't (she doesn't like them). Had to get her to come in and have a look as it's not just smelly cheese. A large variety of so many interesting foods, and eye-popping sorbets. Got some very yummy cheeses, olive oil and a taste of one... More

Smelly cheese shop exceeds all expectation when visiting. This time I tried their most popular selling blue cheeses and picked an orange coloured one! Tangerine sorbet on the grass in front of Tempus Two. Can't get much better than that. Very busy is the only commentary really. More

I ended up talking to one of the staff for ages since we both have a passion for goats cheese. They were very willing to let you taste the cheese and the selection was really good. I would love to come back. More

We spent a fortune in cheese and it was worth it! The sheep cheeses, the manchego and the camembert were outstanding! More

Enjoyed a memorable afternoon here recently with my daughter. The Smelly Cheese Shop is a must see for anyone visiting the Hunter Valley. After purchasing a lovely, crisp bottle of Riesling from the wine cellar next door, we tucked into the best Antipasto Platter I've ever had! The shop is a foodies paradise - a gourmet deli with foods to... More
