Got cheese questions? Need a recommendation? Who are you gonna call? Tessa! Our Farmington Cheese Monger is a whiz (pardon the pun!) at cheese selections. Cheese is her passion and she’s been in the biz for over 9 years in various roles from monger to caterer to buyer.
She loves that everyday she learns something new about our local makers and their stories. “I want to bring in the coolest local brands you can’t find anywhere else and educate our shoppers about the stories behind the making of the cheese and help them try new things.”
Cheese Q&A: Are you a goat, sheep or cow? Ask Tessa why this is important!
Tessa’s Tips: Ask US! We’ve got lots to share from maker’s stories, history, details about taste, flavor, texture and perfect pairings. Artisan cheese can be a great value.
A little can go a long way, so don’t get intimidated by high prices per pound, find the chunk best suited for your needs.
