Store

A trip to Beecher's is worthwhile even if you go just to watch the staff make the shop's wares fresh in the large, glass-walled kitchen. But no one comes to a cheese shop just to feast their eyes, and Beecher's selection of handmade cheeses can satisfy even the mightiest cheese craving. These gourmet cheeses taste every bit as good as they look. Buy a wedge or two, or enjoy one of Beecher's take-out dishes (the macaroni and cheese is, not surprisingly, terrific stuff). Classes are available to help you match cheeses with wines, and the shop sells cheese-making supplies if you'd like to take your addiction to the next level.
