Les fromages de MaLo

Just a short walk from Angoulême’s historic streets, Les fromages de MaLo embodies a particular vision of gourmet delight: that of a neighborhood cheese shop where product quality, expert advice, and the joy of discovery take center stage. Located at 62 Rue de Saintes, the shop has been a part of Angoulême’s culinary scene since 2021.

The shop combines a cheese shop with a grocery store specializing in regional products, offering a selection designed for both discerning cheese lovers and travelers eager to bring a taste of the Charente region home to their tables.

A must-visit for cheese lovers

In this intimate shop, the experience revolves above all around the selection and the care taken with the products. Les Fromages de MaLo is a cheese shop offering, in particular, cheeses of various origins and types - goat, sheep, and cow’s milk, as well as farm-style and AOP cheeses - along with dairy products and gourmet delicacies.

The shop is particularly well-suited for putting together a custom cheese platter, whether it’s an assortment for a private dinner, a reception, or a culinary exploration of the region. Accompaniments such as cold cuts, jams, dried fruits, breads, or crackers can round out this tasting experience.

The Spirit of the Shop

What sets this shop apart is less about ostentation and more about a sense of culinary curiosity and a personal touch. Customer reviews highlight a pleasant shop, the care taken with the cheeses, a well-regarded selection, and a warm welcome.

For a passing visitor, Les fromages de MaLo is thus an interesting stop to discover another facet of Angoulême’s gastronomy: that of aged cheeses, French terroirs, and the art of building a meal around cheese.

The experience to prioritise

Ask for advice on putting together an assortment of French cheeses, opting for a few exceptional pieces rather than an overly abundant selection, then pair them with a distinctive loaf of bread and a local product. A particularly elegant stop before a Charente-style dinner or to put together a gourmet picnic along the banks of the Charente River.
