I can get Neal's Yard products down the road in Houston now... P&W are much more exclusive as befits your status as a FTer.

Exclusive maybe, but expert, no. P & W wrap their on-the-counter cheese in
clingfilm! Nuff said.
Except to add atht, returning from BIA on 22/8 all food - ALL food, full stop (cooked charcuterie; dried raisins, fiadone [Corsican cheesecake]) - was refused and had to be taken back and checked-in (luckily it all survived!). BIA, not FAO but I wouldn't count on being able to bring cheese on.
