Tasting events will also be held at the new Broughton Street store introducing Edinburgh\u2019s cheese lovers to new and unique varieties.<\/p>\n

Following a 25-year corporate career in London and Edinburgh, former commercial director and consultant, Neil Cunningham is opening The Big Cheese as his first independent business with support from his husband, Nick Gulliver.<\/p>\n

Neil said: \u201cAfter 25 years working in the corporate world in London and Edinburgh, I can\u2019t wait to launch my own independent business and nurture my passion for cheese right here in my hometown. This is the first time in my career that I feel like I\u2019m doing something that is entirely personal and true to me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m proud to be unveiling a really exceptional range of cheeses from around Scotland and further afield \u2013 many of which are not currently available to buy from any of Edinburgh\u2019s other speciality cheese shops.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want The Big Cheese to be far more than just an artisan cheese store. I want to create a relaxed and personal customer experience and a venue that will be part of local community life in the neighbourhood I call home.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur specially designed store will create a warm and welcoming environment for Edinburgh\u2019s cheese lovers to discover new and unique varieties for all occasions. I also want to attract new audiences to artisan cheese for the first time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Neil added: \u201cThe Big Cheese wouldn\u2019t have been possible without the ongoing support of my husband, Nick.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy thanks also go to our friends Kay Bennet for her design and branding work, Ian Jow from Jow Property Services for all the shop fitting.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Big Cheese is located at 27 Broughton<\/a> Street which is already well known for small, independent and artisan food and drink stores.\u00a0The shop will be open from Tuesday to Sunday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
