Artisan Cheese Company, 1310 Main Street

Sarasota’s Artisan Cheese Company has a way with curds, offering hand-cut artisanal and farmstead cheeses from both domestic and European standbys. Owners Parker and Louise Converse readily rouse olfactory senses with their finely curated collection of fragrant fromage. “Cheese Louise” also personally selects larder goods made by small-batch artisans from across the country. “There’s a lot more than just whim and fancy,” notes Louise. "Everything harkens back to the cheese."

Customers in a jiffy can swing by and grab wholesome, unadulterated staples like Ooma Tesoros’s Marinara Sauce or NYC Sfoglini Everything Bagel Pasta. Artisan Cheese Company invites both blooming and expert turophiles to rub shoulders with other cheese enthusiasts during biweekly cheese classes, exploring a wildly diverse world of wedges and wines. Drop by their shop on South Main Street to try a cheese or to restock your pantry with on-the-go goods for an utterly delicious dinner.
