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.

This is one of Master Cheesemaker Kerry Henning’s favorites! Louisiana Lagniappe Cheddar cheese is inspired by the flavors of a Louisiana crab boil. The cheese was designed for the region. Henning’s Wisconsin Cheese relied on customers in the area to help refine the cheddar’s flavor, and it’s delicious.
