An old fashioned cheese shop with a very impressive selection of cheeses from around the world. Meticulously chosen. Beautifully kept.

What's great:

Their selection of blue cheeses is superb and this is a place to find those often rare fresh cheeses, including the creamy and fragile straccino. They are generous with tastes before you buy. Charcuterie includes cured meats from Biellese, D'Artagnan, Columbus and Fra' Mani. Breads are from many of the city's best bakers.

What to know:

They create platters for parties and corporate events including ones with charcuterie and antipasti. They periodically hold tastings and classes.

The cheese prices reflect the quality of the selection and how the cheese is kept.
