What we do. A purveyor of hand-crafted cheeses, charcuterie, and specialty foods. We specialize in food pairings for all occasions, fine pantry items for cooking, and local and organic products for the conscious consumer. We offer classes and articles for our customers to learn more about cheese, pairings, and cooking.

The Cheese Traveler offers a broad selection of artisan cheeses of all styles made from cow, goat, and sheep milk, and a wide array of jellies, jams, dried fruits, and savory accompaniments to create a balanced cheese plate. All cheeses can be tasted before purchase, are cut to order, and priced by the pound by expert cheesemongers.
