“Cheese hunting is a heart and stomach-warming sport. It takes you to our loveliest and least spoilt regions, and into their remotest byways. It takes you into the dairy, on to the farm and into the farmhouse, and introduces you to some of the hardest working, healthiest and happiest people you will find anywhere.” --Patrick Rance, The Great British Cheese Book

Cheese is a sculpture that you can touch, taste, smell and admire. It is a final product that satisfies all of the senses. The challenge oday, is to make sure the cheese makes it from farm to market to the customer in the best condition possible. Only a full-service cut to order cheese counter can guarantee the freshest cut. At The Cheese Iron, we encourage guests to taste the product before you take it home to your table. As all cheeses age differently, even the most familiar cheeses, if not handled correctly can be a disappointment. Cheese making and maturing is one half science, one half alchemy and has a lot to do with mother nature. We like it that way; it’s exciting, fun and keeps us on our toes. Cheese, like other foods, should change with the seasons – we will always have new and exciting cheeses and products in the store. Stop by frequently to see what is new. We love the change of seasons, and enjoying cheese at it’s peak performance. Please stop by to see us Monday through Saturday 8:30 – 6:00.
