Our Partners in Quality - Cheese
What sets Outpost's cheese department apart from the rest? Our cheese department lives to share their love of cheese with our shoppers. We try every local cheese before it makes it onto our shelves and care for the cheese individually to ensure the best quality. Our cheese buyer and cheese staff are dedicated foodies who have visited many of the dairies and cheese making facilities of the cheeses we sell. One of our staff even babysat a goat for one of our cheese makers. Whether you're selecting a cheese to nosh or several cheese to serve at a party, our staff of foodies will help you find the best value, the best drink pairings and the best ways to enjoy your cheese. Look for the local-regional signs in our aisles to find more local treasures just like these.
