Cheese

We love cheese and know that you do too, but we like to do things a little differently around here.

We specialize in American artisan cheese.

Experience the Cheese Counter

When we moved to Phoenix, we realized something was missing: a real cheese shop. You know, the kind with an actual cheese counter where you can taste before you buy, ask questions, and geek out about cultures and rinds with people who actually care.

So we opened one.

Our focus is American artisan cheese. We wanted to bring the special, vibrant cheese community found around the country to Arizona.

We're constantly rotating our case with new finds and seasonal favorites, but we keep a core lineup of the cheeses that Phoenix can't get enough of. Here's who we're proud to work with:

Featured Cheeses

Dill Fontal (out of stock)

Pasteurized • Vegetarian Rennet • 60 Days • Cow Milk

When you crave something creamy for a snack or to melt in your pasta, here is the cheese for you. Herby and fresh describe this cheese perfectly. 

by Cello, Wisconsin

Touvelle

Pasteurized •Vegetarian Rennet • 30 Days • Cow Milk

Living somewhere between cheddar and jack. With the meltability of Jack and the crunch of cheddar.

by Rogue Creamery, Oregon 
by Plymouth Artisan Cheese, Vermont

Truffle Chedar

Raw • Rennet • 60 Days • Cow Milk

A little truffle flavor goes a long ways which is what you want with this cheese. A long way, that is… wait, maybe that’s not the right expression. It’s delicious. That’s the right expression.

Willoughby

Pasteurized • Vegetarian Rennet • 6-12 Weeks • Cow Milk

Pudgy is the perfect word for this little soft-ripened, washed-rind cheese. It leans into the mild side of washed cheeses, so don’t fear this one. But also be aware it might be your gateway cheese into washed rinds.

by Jasper HIll Farm, Vermont

Belper Knoll

Raw • Animal Rennet • 3 Months • Cow Milk

Infused with garlic and Himalayan salt, then coated in pepper, making this fun nugget of cheese a blast of flavor and fun.

Thomasville Tomme

Raw • Grassfed • Animal Rennet • 60 Days • Cow Milk

All the right words…butter, creamy, earthy, tangy, and salty finish. Mouth watering yet? 

by Sweet Grass Dairy, Georgia

Cumin Gouda

Raw • Vegetarian Rennet • 60 Days • Cow Milk

Ever wondered what a taco would taste like in cheese form? Here you go. Creamy with a hit of cumin. 

by Marieke Gouda, Wisconsin

Lake Effect

Pasteurized • Animal Rennet • 60 Days • Goat Milk

A bloomy soft-rippened cheese with deep flavors, with a hint of goaty (in a good way) flavor and a buttery texture.

Honey Lavender Fromage Frais

Pasteurized • Microbial Rennet • 3 Weeks • Goat Milk

Spring is in the air (or Summer if you are in Phoenix), and nothing screams spring like fresh cheese. Don’t sleep on this one because of the subtle floral notes and sweet hint of honey.
