There are some very useful cheese shops in SF.

One is on the foggier side - somewhere between 12th and 14th on Irving.
This is a small place, but they have a decent selection, including
Tilsit, and a variety of very buttery ones. Since they are small, the
selection may vary. Out of the 3 dozen or so types they have, perhaps
6-8 might vary over time. I think this place is very imaginatively named
"the cheese store" It is 2 blocks east on Irving from Andronico's.
They also stock Manouri, which reminds me of an Asian cheese I had
growing up.

There is another one around California and Fillmore. It had a much
bigger selection, and seems a bit more expensive. But I have never done
a type by type comparison. Some friends who work in some of the fine
dining establishments in the city directed me to this place.

There might also be a place on Castro St. Only heard of it from friends
who have now moved out of the area.
