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.

Mascarpone originated in the Lombardy region of Italy and was used strictly as a dessert cheese. Today, mascarpone is crafted from fresh, sweet cream, giving incredible richness to sweet and savory recipes.
