Monger's Palate We are cheesemongers with a passion for artisanal and farmstead cheeses. Come by and let's talk chee Does it go with cheese?

We use our vast cheese knowledge and love of the curd to bring the cheesemaker’s labor of love to your table. In addition to offering the highest quality cheeses, we also offer a finely curated selection of meat and charcuterie, crackers, bread, dried fruits, nuts, olives, honey, jams, and more to bring your cheese experience to the next level. We also make a mean made-to-order sandwich and offer a beautiful selection of gifts and catering platters. Then we’ve got it and we know how to pair it, probably in ways you’ve never even thought of before. Come visit us and let us use our palette of cheesy goodness to create the perfect plate for you.

Difficult to capture the singular beauty of Fromagerie L'amuse Essex St Cheese L’Amuse Gouda. Fudge-y and crunchy, it has deep caramel and toasted nut flavours. A perfect cheese from affinuer Betty Koster’s caves in the Beemster region and one we only crack open a few times a year.

No day passed this week that I have not sliced off a quarter pound of the Occhio di Puglia and eaten it like a melon. I’m deeply in love with this strange Caciacavallo-esq stretched curd egg. It has the characteristic “eye” of an Emmenthaler made by Propioni Shermanii bacterium but then the spice of an aged Provolone. An Apulian cheese aged for one year, It’s nutty sweet then biting. Sort of like the Marx Brothers. Come by.

Back to school, back to…drinking? Sending out two cheeses to Dandelion W**e today. They’ll pair with an interesting selection of Portuguese wines, two of which are aged in amphora. I’m feeling edgy so we’ll be sending Neal's Yard Dairy Lincolnshire Poacher-crumbly, buttermilky, pineapple-y and Le Secret de Compostelle- smoky and hazlenut-y.

A hurried platter for myself for the Knicks. 💙🧡Personally I prefer to focus on the cheese and not get too wrapped up on frills and furbelows, a great way also to stay within a budget. We are trying out some incredible cheese from Valley Milkhouse Creamery and Flower Gap Farm as well some Hornbacher and Bleu de Dômes. 🧀 Blue cheese dressing is different every time but today- ricotta, mayo, Stilton, salt, seasoning, sherry vinegar.
