At Marion Street Cheese Market we believe real American cheese is something to celebrate!

Philosophy

Our country hosts a myriad of creameries that produce distinctive cheeses as varied as the landscapes they encapsulate. Handmade cheeses are dynamic foods that change along with the seasons to reflect the rotation of pastures, the temperament of the animals, and the development of local microflora and fauna; these are just a few of the variables that are then tempered through the craft and creativity of the cheesemaker. For the past five years we have foraged the farmstead dairies of the nation, hand selecting a representative and rotating assortment of some of the finest cheeses available. Though we are first and foremost a domestic outpost, we also offer a sampling of the classic imported cheeses that have served as inspirations to the burgeoning artisan cheesemakers of the states. With the wholesale program we would like to extend these cheeses from our counter to your table and along with them proffer our experiences, expertise, and love of all things cheese!

Services

There are a lot of cheeses out there, and so little time to root through them all…So allow us to do the footwork for you and share in the fruits of our labor; we have already sorted through the vast array of cheeses out there while bearing in mind a commitment to local food and sustainability, and succumbing only to flavor.

We offer personalized consultation as a part of our service, so we can help you find the cheese that best suits your needs. In addition to a stock list of cheeses available to you at a moment’s notice, we will also special order any cheese available through our various producers especially for you through our pre order program.

For every cheese you order we will include a stat sheet catered to your needs, including the who, what, where and how of each cheese, tasting notes, recommended beer, wine, and/or cocktail pairings, care instructions, and any other miscellaneous tidbits you may crave. The relationship between our shop and your restaurant is symbiotic; freshly cut cheese is turned over faster and in the end everyone gets a better tasting product that honors and upholds the vision of the cheesemaker.

Since cheese is a complex and ever changing food, it demands special attention and care. At Marion Street Market, we take cheese maintenance seriously and attend to each cheese in our shop on a daily basis. In our interest to properly serve the cheese, we will in turn serve you; we will provide you with specific care instructions for each cheese as well as general tips on cheese upkeep. Furthermore, at no additional cost, we will conduct staff training seminars touching on all the cheese fundamentals as well as instructions for a cheese maintenance program designed specifically with your needs and facilities in mind.
