What you will find in our shop
- More than 100 cheeses cut to order and, in season, around fifty raclette cheeses, about 35 of them imported directly from Switzerland, with no middleman. Don’t miss la Tuerie de Popol, the boss’s favourite: a cheese from the Basque Country, half goat’s milk, half sheep’s milk
- Fine charcuterie from Corsica, Italy and Spain, chosen without compromise: Parma ham aged 24 months, San Daniele ham…
- Everything for aperitifs: some thirty tapenades and olives, shellfish, octopus, prawns…
- Fresh fruit and vegetables. Our exotic fruit arrives by air only, and you can taste it: fruit from Kenya takes about a month to reach Europe by boat. Ours is picked ripe, reaches the Rungis market the next day and Chez Popol two days later. Passion fruit, guavas, grenadillas, air-freighted mangoes, pineapples of rare splendour… all the taste and pleasure of truly ripe fruit
- Around forty wines to go with your cheeses and aperitifs
- The Liège specialities from our online shop: Sirop de Liège, peket, Val-Dieu beers, waffles…
- Our house recipes: the Salade Popol (little gem lettuce, balsamic onions, honey-mustard dressing and generous croutons) and the Fondue Popol with 12-month Comté and wildflower tomme
- Our home-made dishes, to order: quiches on Tuesday, pasticcios on Wednesday and pizzas on Thursday
- Platters of cheese, charcuterie and aperitif nibbles, to order
Our fresh products are selected at the Rungis market in Paris: always excellence. Cheeses, charcuterie, aperitif products, fruit and vegetables and platters are available in the shop only.
