Froth and Rind
Where: Walthamstow - 37 Orford Road, London E17 9NL
The East London Cheese Board started life as a market stall run by two mates Mark and Fraser.

Latteria
Where: Acton
Fresh mozzarella is one of life’s great joys but to really enjoy it fresh you either have to go to Italy (that's not happening any time soon) or have the stuff flown in. To save on air miles, opt instead to shop at this Acton-based London cheesemaker. They use British milk to make Italian-style cheese like their classic Fior di Latte mozzarella-style cheese. They deliver to mostly west, north-west and south-west London postcodes.
