A local couple started by following their enjoyment of fine foods...they opened The Cheese Cellar.
Importing cheese from around the world, they also provide an array of wines, and specialty foods such as garnishes, olive oils and chocolates.
Thursdays are Cheese and Wine tasting evenings from 4-7pm where you can enjoy the latest pairings for free. Anytime you choose to stop in, their knowledgeable staff will explain the cheese and provide you a sample as well as help you decide how to cook with it.
With a warm atmosphere, you're likely to stop in regularly to chat with the owners and treat yourself to some sheep cheese from France...I know I do!
You may think that fine cheeses are more expensive than your regular cheddar block from the grocery store. It is. But, only a little. I find that I usually consume 1/4 lb. of cheese a week. I eat less of the higher quality cheese because it fills me up faster than the cheaper stuff.
Plus, I'm an organic advocate. Organic cheese is really expensive. Most of the cheeses they provide are from Europe where practices for raising sheep or goats are different from the US. Though they may not be certified, I am confident that the cheese I buy is of the same quality.
Their open Monday - Saturday 10am-7pm
