The Cheese Club shop, which is led by the team behind the Six by Nico restaurant group, has opened its doors on Byres Road in Glasgow's west end.
It is taking up temporary residence in the former Fopp music store at 358 Byres Road.
Cheesemonger Stephen Sweet is overseeing the day-to-day operations of the pop-up store as well as curating The Cheese Club shops' products and HOME-X’s online distribution services.
Spearheaded by chef Nico Simeone and Six by Nico marketing executive Michael Sim, HOME-X offers restaurant quality kits to cook at home, with pre-prepared ingredients and cooking instructions.
As well as cheese, the new pop-up store is offering chutneys, crackers, olives, cured meats and features a delicatessen counter serving hot and cold snacks, including toasted sandwiches and brunch items.
The team behind the shop highlight their aim of highlighting “the incredible work, pride, and effort that goes into making beautiful artisan and farmhouse cheeses”.
Mr Sweet said: "We hope our customers are as enthusiastic as we are about the opening of The Cheese Club shop pop-up. With the goal of providing something different, we want to bring a proper cheese experience here to Byres Road, along with all the necessary accompaniments. We're now open and excited to become a part of the west end community"
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
