Do you have questions when shopping for cheese? Ask the cheesemonger! A cheesemonger specializes in the buying and selling of high-quality cheese, usually available in the specialty section of a grocery store or cheese shop. Knowledgeable and passionate, a cheesemonger is a go-to resource for cheese varieties and pairings, proper cheese storage and handling, its cooking applications and cheese brand information.

American Grana® is a premium parmesan cheese that is aged a minimum of 18 months on wooden shelves in special caves. During this process, the cheese wheels are turned by hand to develop its deep nutty flavor and granular texture.
