Multi-award-winning Cheesemonger and Affineur, Rennet & Rind, has opened its first retail shop on the high street in Stamford, Lincolnshire.<\/p>\n
Mark Hulme and his wife Jan founded the business in 1988, but this is their first brick-and-mortar store.\u00a0 Previously, Rennet & Rind had been a, highly successful, online and wholesale business.<\/p>\n
Alongside Mark\u2019s expertise is fellow company Director Perry Wakeman, who is also the winner of the UK\u2019s first and only Affineur of the Year.<\/p>\n
Commenting on the shop\u2019s opening, owner Mark Hulme stated,\u00a0\u201cStamford offers a vibrant high street with lots of independent retailers. Our business has been built on supporting British independent cheesemakers, so Stamford was a natural fit for our first-ever high street store.\u201d<\/p>\n
In addition to the incredible range of cheese on sale, they also stock a\u00a0 range of Havana cigars, as well as some non-Cubans. Brands such as Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, VegaFina, and La Invicta can be found carefully maintained in the humidor.<\/p>\n
Mark went on, \u201cWe deal daily in fine artisan cheese, carefully selecting and maturing it in our own facilities to ensure that it is perfect for our patrons. Adding cigars to our offering, with their heritage and artisanal manufacturing process, works perfectly.\u201d\u00a0\u201cWe have worked closely with Hunters & Frankau to be able to offer a good selection of cigars that we hope will evolve as our business does.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rennet & Rind can be found at 16 High Street, Stamford PE9 2AL.<\/p>\n
