Cheese Shop FAQs
What does farmstead cheese mean?
Farmstead cheese is made on the farm where the milk is produced. The term describes a close relationship between the dairy and cheesemaking, though each cheese can differ in style, texture, and aging.
How should I store cheese at home?
Keep cheese refrigerated and use its original wrapping when suitable. If rewrapping, choose material that protects it without trapping excess moisture. Follow any storage guidance provided for the specific cheese.
How long before serving should I take cheese out?
Many cheeses show more aroma and flavor after a short time out of the refrigerator. Timing depends on the cheese and room temperature, so ask for serving guidance when you make your selection.
Can you help me choose cheeses for a board?
Ask for suggestions based on how many people you’re serving and the flavors or textures you enjoy. A balanced board often combines contrasting styles, with bread, fruit, nuts, or preserves alongside.
What should I pair with farmstead cheese?
Pairings depend on the cheese’s salt, acidity, texture, and intensity. Bread, seasonal fruit, nuts, honey, or preserves can work well. Share the cheese you’re considering for more specific suggestions.
