Part-time Cheesemonger, Fairfield

What made you want to work in cheese?

While my daughter was studying in France, I had the opportunity to visit her and travel to various regions. I tried many different types of cheese, and I wanted to learn more! When a position opened up at Fairfield Cheese Company, I thought it a great opportunity.

What is your favorite part of being a cheesemonger?

My favorite part of being a cheesemonger is meeting new customers and visiting with our regular clientele.

Your favorite cheese right now?

My favorite cheese right now is Rispens sheep’s milk Gouda from the Netherlands; it has tyrosine crystals and tastes like nutty toasted brioche.
