Had a marvelous weekend in NYC for the Cheesemonger Invitational and the Fancy Food Show, so took the opportunity to visit the sublime Saxelby Cheesemongers in Chelsea Market. Saxelby are New York City's first all-American cheese shop and feature a huge range of cheese to sample and then have fresh cut and wrapped 🧀 ❤
Jill and her knowledgeable cheesemongers chose some washed rind cheeses (my favorites) for me to sample and I loved them all! I purchased Hooligan by Cato Corner Farm in Connecticut, Reverie by Parish Hill Creamery in Vermont and Sunny Ridge by Blakesville Creamery in Wisconsin. They were eaten al fresco by The Lake in Central Park. Highly recommend stopping by the shop if you get a chance, and the late Anne Saxelby's book The New Rules for Cheese is an inspirational read.
