Canberra Cheese Room

The Essential Ingredient Canberra is home to the best stocked cheese room in Canberra.

We stock a huge range of  Australian and imported cheeses and with fresh cheese coming from a range of suppliers every week we constantly have new and exciting cheeses to try.

Yes, we said try! We love to sample cheeses and in addition to our regular Sample Saturday we love to take our customers on a cheese tasting journey.

If you are looking for a specialty cheese we endeavor to find it. And yes, we do cheese cakes and have a selection to suit any event! Whether it be a birthday, wedding or dinner for one…
