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!

Adopt-an-Alp : Berner Hobelkäse

Adopt-an-Alp is an engaging program that supports small Swiss cheesemakers, often traditional, family-owned farms nestled high in the Swiss Alps. By "adopting" an alp, cheese shops, retailers, or individuals can help sustain these artisanal practices, ensuring that mountain cheesemaking traditions endure and that farmers receive fair compensation for their work and craft.

Our first Adopt-An-Alp wheel to arrive is the Berner Hobelkäse. And what a fantastic choice! Made of raw cow’s milk, this is such a special cheese. Each wheel is traditionally aged for at least two years to develop its signature crumbly texture and deep, caramelized flavor.
