| - Though an exact date isn't known, homo sapiens probably started making cheese soon after domesticating livestock around 10,000 years ago. This gooey, melty, herculean leap of human advancement is perhaps matched only by the invention of writing, beer, soap, penicillin, vaccination, and the Hubble telescope. So this place is not only a fantastic, but frankly, a necessary addition to 7th Street Market.
The 2 cheeses I've tried so far were absolutely addictive. I got a really sharp cheddar (great with Gala apples) whose name I regrettably can't remember and a mini wheel of goat cheese for my girlfriend's broccoli and goat cheese soup. Because the prices are a little on the steep side, Orrman's earns extra points for being generous with samples and a willingness to cut the package in half and sell just one wheel from a 2-pack. After all, with pungent goat cheese, a little goes a long way.
In addition to all the mouthwatering, velvety, some subtle, others downright funky cheeses, they have a decent selection of other things one might associate with cheese; the most important of which are the fresh baguettes. As far as I can tell, it's the only place in the market that sells them. And they're good baguettes too. As good as Amelie's, in fact. This alone is reason to stop by if you're in the market already. Because really, what's a market that doesn't sell baguettes?
