I spent a couple of months in Switzerland for a project and supermarkets there often have this booth that me and my friends referred to as the "Kingdom of Cheese".

The Kingdom of Cheese is a climate-controlled enclave with just cheese - the person there is happy to help you decide because they know you'll be back eventually as indeed the products there have those crystals.

Back eventually? I'd personally set up a little tent in the foyer and live there year 'round, like an increasingly portly mouse.
At that point just call it Redwall Abbey!
I would do the same, but that is a particularly expensive diet.
Oh my! I do miss these kingdoms of cheese myself! No offence to the British but they don't know what good cheese is :p
That's fighting talk round my way!

I submit to you that you've not tried the good British cheeses such as a Baron Bigod (Norfolk Brie), a nettle covered Cornish Yarg, the well-named Stinking Bishop, the rolled-in-ashes Kidderton Ash, Yoredale, Yarlington, Stilton, Beauvale, Gorwydd Caerphilly, Driftwood, Pevensey Blue, Witheridge in Hay, Ailsa Craig ...

This comment reminds me of Monty Python cheese shop sketch.

I'm saving this comment just so I know what cheese to try next time
