On 24 September 2010 Michel Van Tricht & son, located in the Berchem district of Antwerp, was chosen by the newspaper the Wall Street Journal as the best specialist cheese shop in Europe. The Wall Street Journal preferred the Antwerp shop over competitors such as two Paris shops, a shop in Provence and a top specialist in Italy.
Cheese affineurs Michel Van Tricht & son are specialised in:
- ageing cheeses
- importing and exporting cheeses
- supplying the restaurant and catering industry
In 1978 Michel Van Tricht took over his father’s business and developed it into an internationally renowned specialist cheese shop. In the meantime, Frédéric Van Tricht, Michel’s son, has joined the business.
Cheese affineurs Michel Van Tricht & son supply cheese to the finest restaurants in Belgium, Luxembourg, Ireland and the Netherlands. The Belgian Royal Palace also occasionally enlists their services.
Each week, Michel visits the Rungis market in Paris, where he expertly selects cheeses from his suppliers. Michel Van Tricht & son sells cheeses from Belgium and abroad, including unpasteurised cheeses and cheeses from smaller-scale producers. The pride and joy of the shop is the 11-metre long cheese counter. Together with a saleswoman who provides professional advice, customers can wander along the display to make their selection.
