The Ina Garten-Approved Cheese Shop That Delivers To French Presidents
By Arianna Endicott
Ina Garten has written a cookbook entitled "Barefoot in Paris," highlighting recipes that bring a little bit of France to your home kitchen. One of Garten's favorite French cheese shops has quite the reputation — and is even popular amongst French presidents.
Ina Garten shared on Instagram that Barthélémy is her "favorite cheese shop in the world," along with a few photos of the cheese selection from inside the store. In addition to being one of Garten's go-to stops, Barthélémy is also the official cheese supplier of The Élysée Palace, home of French President Emmanuel Macron.
The fromagerie has worked with the government since 1973, as per Urban Insider, providing cheese for the dishes prepared and served in the palace. Barthélémy may be small, but it is teeming with cheeses, all of which are aged in house, and many of which customers can taste test.
