If your corner store is always out of that last block of delicious Australian cheese, and their sourdough bread is never up to standard and once, just once, you wished you had a glass of red to swirl while tasting a new cheese, then forget the broken dream and head to Bourke Street, because Formaggi Ocello will match your vision...and beat it.

Announced as the 2010 winner of the best cheese store in Sydney, Formaggi Ocello never disappoints. With the finest and largest selection of Italian, French and Australian farmhouse cheeses, you really are spoiled with choice here. Not only can you press your face up against the glass and romantically gaze at the delicious cheeses, but you can enjoy an aperitivo (a complimentary snack or mini cheese platter) with a glass of wine. A licensed cheese shop? Can this get any better? Yes, yes it can. There is also a menu on offer, with delicious breakfasts, paninis, insaladas and of course antipasto dishes.

If you're being dragged from the shop by friends or your partner who have waited patiently for the last couple of hours while you've been enjoying every cheese on offer, you can take a taste of Formaggi Ocello home, with their catering services, hampers and gifts. Now you'll never be left feeling unsatisfied again, but only at Formaggi Ocello, because other shops might not live up to your expectations...especially that corner store.
