If you find yourself walking down rue Thiers in the heart of Boulogne-sur-mer (northern France) and don’t happen to see Philippe Olivier’s famous cheese shop, you will surely smell it. I’m not gonna lie: it stinks, and we were just there yesterday so imagine what summer smells like!
Philippe Olivier knows cheese and his family has been in business for 101 years, 4 generations of fromagers.
The list of awards they’ve won cannot fit on the longest scroll in France. it’s a true cheese lover’s paradise and a must visit when in the area.
We left with 10 pounds of cheese.

My mother loves that super old Hollande cheese shown in the last photo - personally, I hate it. I should really take a day trip to Boulogne and visit that cheese shop.
