If you thought that cheese was all about Kraft, Velveeta and supermarket brand specimens, it’s time to broaden and hone your taste buds. You don’t have to buy an airline ticket to France or Italy, and you won’t even need to head into Manhattan. You can explore the world of cheeses with ease right here, on Long Island.
The Village Cheese Shop opened for business in 2001. Designed to emulate the cheese shops that are abundant in Europe, the friendly and knowledgeable sales staff welcome shoppers to sample from any of hundreds of wheels and blocks of cheeses. Their inventory displays a global palette of cheeses that are produced worldwide, including some that are produced upstate and on Long Island. Mecox Bay, Catapano Dairy Farm and Goodale Farms are all located on eastern Long Island.
Whether you like firm cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano, gouda or comte, crave the creamy cheeses like delice de Bourgogne or Pierre Robert or sing the blues when Roquefort or stilton tantalizes your taste buds, there is something for every taste. Choose from cow’s milk, sheep’s milk or goat’s milk cheeses. The staff can help you to make selections that will compliment one another on a cheese plate based on your general preferences, the nationality of the meal that you will be serving or on a variety that will introduce you and your nibbling friends and family to the wonders of exquisitely crafted cheese.
The Village Cheese Shop carries an array of other items, including oils, vinegars, pastas, coffees, imported butters, biscotti, crackers and some locally produced edibles. A variety of cured meats, from pancetta and prosciutto di Parma to salamis, sopressata and Serrano, are also available. Consider one of the rich and savory French pates to add to your cheese plate along with a baguette or one of the shop’s other artisanal breads.
A sun-drenched café is located on the premises, where you can enjoy a specialty sandwich, savor the gooey goodness of a fondue or relax with a cheese platter and a bottle of wine.
The Village Cheese Shop is located on Love Lane in Mattituck. Conveniently, Roanoke Vineyard’s second tasting room location carries a selection of their outstanding wines to round out your perfect wine and cheese ensemble. From across the United States and nations across the ocean, the world of cheeses gathers in one place, from the Village Cheese Shop to your family table.
