Artisan cheese, charcuterie, and provisions in the heart of downtown Somerville, NJ

One of my favorite moments at every class is watching a room full of strangers become completely invested in the experience.

At the beginning of the night, everyone is a little quiet.

By the end, they're stretching mozzarella, shaking jars of cream into butter, comparing tasting notes over a glass of wine, laughing, asking questions, and sharing their favorite discoveries.

Sure, we make mozzarella. We shake butter. We taste incredible cheeses.

But what we're really creating is an excuse to slow down, learn something new, and connect with the people around us.

That's why I started Main Street Cheese.

The cheese is just the beginning.

August is National Goat Cheese Month, so it felt like the perfect excuse to feature one of my favorite styles of cheese.

When most people think of goat cheese, they picture a simple white log.

This one is anything but ordinary.

The Vermont Creamery Strawberry Spritz Fresh Goat Cheese is creamy, tangy, and coated with strawberries and sparkling wine. It's fresh, bright, and just a little unexpected, which is exactly why I love it.

One of my favorite parts of being a cheesemonger is introducing people to cheeses they probably wouldn't pick up on their own. So many people think artisan cheese has to be complicated or intimidating, but it doesn't. Sometimes it's as simple as finding a cheese that makes you stop after the first bite and think, "Okay, I need more of this."

If you're taking this one home, here's how I'd enjoy it:
🍑 Fresh peaches
🥜 Candied pecans or pistachios
🥂 A crisp rosé or sparkling wine
🥖 Butter crackers or slices of fresh baguette

Have you tried goat cheese before, or is this one going on your must-try list? Let me know in the comments.

One of the questions I get asked most is, "How do you decide what goes into the Cheese Club?"

The truth is, it doesn't start with cheese.

Every month's box starts with a theme.

Sometimes it's inspired by the season. Sometimes it's a cheesemaker whose story I can't wait to share. Sometimes it's one incredible cheese that sends me searching for the perfect pairings.

Then comes the tasting.

Some months I try six cheeses. Other months it's fifteen. Not every cheese makes the cut because I'm not just looking for great individual cheeses. I'm looking for a collection that feels balanced, tells a story, and creates an experience from the first bite to the last.

Once everything comes together, these are the moments I love most. Packing each bag by hand and knowing it will soon be part of someone's date night, dinner party, or quiet evening at home.

The Cheese Club has never been about sending a random assortment of cheese each month. It's about sharing my favorite discoveries and helping you experience artisan cheese in a way that feels approachable, fun, and a little unexpected.

If you've been thinking about joining us, I'd love to have you at the table.

One of the coolest things about this version of the business has been partnering with other local entrepreneurs that care just as much about creating great experiences as I do.

That's why you'll find Main Street Cheese graze boxes at local breweries and meaderies throughout New Jersey.

Grab a beer. Add a graze box. Hang out with friends.

It's simple, delicious, and supports multiple small businesses at once, which is something I care deeply about.

If you own a brewery, winery, café, farm stand, or another local business and think artisan cheese would be a great fit, I'd love to chat. I'm always looking for thoughtful partnerships that make sense for everyone involved.

You can find Graze Boxes at:
📍 Flounder Brewing Co.
📍 Readington Brewery & Hop Farm
📍 Middlemist Meadery

More locations are on the way!

People always ask me how I choose the cheeses for the Cheese Club.

The answer? I taste...a lot.

I'm looking for cheeses that surprise people. Ones that tell a story. Ones you probably wouldn't grab at the grocery store, but end up talking about all night.

That's really what the Cheese Club is.

Every month I do the searching, tasting, and curating so you can open a box, pour a glass of something you love, and discover something new.

Whether it's a quiet Tuesday night, a date night at home, or friends around the table, I want cheese to feel like an experience. Not just another thing on the grocery list.

If you've been thinking about joining, I'd love to have you.

🧀 The Cheese Club ($65/month)

I'm giving myself permission to slow down a little this month.

July is for celebrating my kid's birthday, spending time with family, enjoying summer, and doing a lot of behind-the-scenes work that you won't necessarily see on Instagram.

I'm tasting cheeses. Meeting with new partners. Dreaming up fall classes. Building the Cheese Club. Figuring out how to make Main Street Cheese even better.

You'll still find me at the Somerville Farmers Market, at our Cheese & Wine Masterclass at Meadowbrook Winery, and popping into a few local breweries.

Sometimes building a business isn't about doing more. It's about making space to do the right things well.

I can't wait to share what's coming this fall. 🧀❤️

As always, stay cheesy!
