Liverpool Cheese Company attracts visitors to Woolton Village

A unique cheese shop is attracting visitors from far and wide to Woolton Village. The Liverpool Cheese Company, owned by Vickie Anderson and Ian Tomlinson, opened in 2006. It's located in an old dairy building that is over a century old. The shop offers more than 200 varieties of artisan cheeses. Vickie saw a gap in the market for a cheese shop in Liverpool and decided to fill it. She trained at a cheese shop in Chester before opening Liverpool Cheese Company. Vickie describes cheese as magical due to the wide range of flavors that can come from different types of milk and production methods. Among the unique offerings, she highlights Norwegian brown cheese, which has a sweet toffee flavor. This cheese is a popular choice for breakfast in Norway and is often used in fondue. The couple also runs cheese schools twice a month in the city center. They teach people about cheese and how to pair it with wine. Customers come from as far as Wigan and Ormskirk to participate in these events. Woolton Village is becoming a shopping destination for many, with visitors traveling from places like Bolton, Bury, and Birmingham. Vickie notes that their shop is a special spot for cheese lovers.
