Local and Regional Favorites
For truly local and regional artisan cheese, Eastside Marketplace is your source. Among our personal favorites is Shy Brothers Farm in Westport, Massachusetts, who make the sumptuous Hannahbells, a tiny artisan handmade cheese shaped like thimbles and packed with flavor. Federal Hill is home to Narragansett Creamery, makers of fresh mozzarella and ricotta. Great Hill Blue, a full flavored, smooth tasting blue is made in nearby Marion, Massachusetts. And we have a soft spot for regional favorites like Pineland Swiss from Maine, New York’s Hudson Valley Camembert and Vermont made Grafton Village Cheddar. These and other local and regional favorites are available to you in our expansive cheese department.
