Welcome to the Cheese Counter
We love cheese. We know cheese. We want you to find the best cheese for your occasion, whether it’s a party with friends, a fun dinner at home, or a special occasion – this is what we love to do. We have more than three dozen cheeses on site every day ready for sampling and plating in our cafe, or for custom orders to take out. And our cheesemongers are here to help. From rare cheeses, seasonal cheeses and farmstead classics, there is always something surprising and special on hand.
Our cheesemongers will help you find exactly what you’re looking for. Think of them as a sommelier for cheese. Whether you are looking for a specific flavor profile, cheese from a specific region, milk type or something vegetarian friendly. Ask your monger!
At the core of Negociant is the experience. Call us hopeless romantics, but shopping for food should be fun. And knowing the stories behind the food and wine in your basket is the start to a truly special and memorable experience.
Want to know a little bit more about the recent additions to our cheese case? Explore our blog below or stop into the shop and ask our mongers for a sample!
In the case: your cheese craving satisfied
Schnebelhorn
A Swiss cheese like no other! Schnebelhorn stands out from other Swiss alpine cheeses because it is a grüyere style cheese with the addition of cream to the raw milk. This added cream creates a more decadent and rich product. It is nutty and satisfying and we are here for it.
Challerhocker
Challerhocker loosely translates to “sitting in the cellar” or “cellar dweller.” The label does a great job of representing that without words—the slightly demonic-looking child peering out of the cellar with excitement to announce to the village that the cheese is ready to eat. And this is one alpine cheese we can hardly wait to get into!
