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.

Tallgrass Reserve is an artisanal cheese crafted by owner and Head Cheesemaker Anna Landmark. It’s a pasture-grazed raw milk cheese hand-rubbed with smoked paprika, olive oil and cave-aged, featuring a natural, moldy rind. This beauty is buttery and creamy with a tang and earthy, cave-like finish. Pair it with charcuterie, preserves, and a fruity Beaujolais, wheat beer, or a shot of bourbon.
