£17.50
Weight: 500g
Vacherin Mont-d’Or AOP is the distinctive soft cheese specialty from the Vaud town of Jura. It has been lovingly produced by hand in the VallĂ©e de Joux for over 100 years. Vacherin Mont d’or has a soft, pale brown rind, with deep, wavy indentations and a soft bounce to its texture. Packed in a spruce box, which flavours the cheese and helps keep its shape. It can be very runny when very ripe, and very runny when warmed at a low temperature in the oven. Perfect on a cold Christmas day.

Sally Clarke's shop
Within a few years of the restaurant opening, Sally was able to acquire the building next door, which allowed not only the expansion of the seating area but also ample space to create a retail outlet for the many baked items that were being prepared also for the restaurant menus.
Breads, sweet and savoury tarts, biscuits, cakes, muffins, and chocolate truffles were first on the list and very soon soups, pasta sauces, salads and braises were added. A little cafe was created at the back – and the takeaway coffee with a pastry was born!
Scroll forward to today, the shop is now situated directly across the street from the Restaurant, which includes Clarke’s Corner Cafe, serving delicious coffees and pastries from early morning each day. Our 2nd shop opened in September 2020 (mid pandemic!) on the corner of Portobello Road and Westbourne Grove. In September 2024, the Westbourne shop was renovated and revamped and is now managed by Sally’s sister company, Notting Hill Bakery.
