Hard Cheese

Between a rock and a hard cheese? If you’re the type that like your cheddar in chunks and your Grana super ready to grate, you’ve come to the right place! Here you’ll find some beloved favorites like salty, crumbly Parmigiano Reggiano from Italy, aged Cheddars studded with crystals and oily Manchegos that are just perfect to pair with soft membrillo. Discover the best cheeses for grating like Grana Padana and Pecorino Toscano, plus great sheep’s milk and hard goat cheeses. What makes a cheese hard?

We offer a selection of hard cheeses that are sourced from all around the world, with famous offerings from Italy, France, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and more! But, we also like to find new exciting varieties, which we are constantly adding to our famous cheese selection. Hard cheese are a beloved category - these are the cheeses to shave over risotto and pasta, to melt in fondue and to create au gratin dishes that bubble with yumminess. We have the classic staples that you love, but you’ll also adore discovering our new great American cheeses from artisan creameries, like Fiscalini’s cheddar, and Monterrey Jack. And, if you like a great cheese board, we’ve created some fabulous cheese baskets filled with only - you guessed it -hard cheeses! Perfect for appetizers or for a cheese gift, just add a crusty baguette or mini toasts, a great bottle of wine, and you’ve got the ideal gourmet gift for the cheese-loving foodie (get extra points by including a selection of meats like prosciutto or oily salami). We source our cheeses from both small artisan cheesemakers that are just starting out, and large commercial creameries with decades of experience creating great cheese. Give them both a chance – both types of cheese makers offer great cheese experiences!
