| - As a resident of Old Brooklyn, I couldn't be more thrilled for the addition of The Old Brooklyn Cheese Company! But you don't have to be a local to enjoy this gem, it's worth a drive no matter what area of Greater Cleveland you're in.
They officially opened their doors this weekend, but I knew I wanted to miss the crowds because I truly know nothing about cheese and definitely knew I was going to need some help picking out some goodies. Like, lots of help. I'm pretty sure the fanciest cheese I've bought myself outside of anything that was pre-picked by a chef as a charcuterie board was from Trader Joe's.
Obviously I came to the right place, the owner was happy to help me pick out everything I needed in the price range I gave him, and letting me sample everything along the way. The only negative thing I have to say is that I wish I didn't sample anything, because it was all delicious and my purchase was for a gift basket that I now have to keep my paws off, knowing how good everything is. I cannot wait to go back and grab some for myself!
Everything is really reasonably priced, I wasn't sure what to expect given my inexperience to finer cheeses. I was able to grab a half pound of two wonderfully delicious cheeses, a couple of locally made jams, a nice sausage stick, some crackers, and a big jar of locally made egg nog all for right around $40. Seriously, the cheese is delicious too.
