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.

Grand Cru® Surchoix was crowned “World Champion” in the 2016 World Championship Cheese Contest, marking the first time an American-made cheese won the cheese competition in nearly three decades. This artisan, washed-rind cheese is handmade in traditional copper vats and aged for a minimum of nine months in cellars. It features the complex flavors of caramel, fruit and mushroom.
