A cheesemonger is a specialist in cheese, responsible for selecting, aging, and selling various types of cheese. They often work in specialty cheese shops or markets, where they provide customers with information about different cheeses, including their origins, flavors, and best pairings. Cheesemongers play a crucial role in promoting artisanal and local cheeses. In addition to selling cheese, cheesemongers may also offer tastings and educate customers on how to properly store and serve cheese. They often collaborate with cheese makers and farmers to source high-quality products, ensuring that customers have access to a diverse range of cheeses from around the world.
