I finally got to try this cheese shop. The shop is located in Oakville, CT. It is also a seafood store so the smell is a little strong when you first open the door. It's clearly very fresh seafood. But once you are inside it passes. It was a cheese heaven 😍 We got to taste a few of the cheeses. The two staff people were really friendly and knowledgeable. Cuchillos was really nice. He explained the cheeses I was trying. He was patient with us while we made up our minds. He told us the story behind the owners a sweet love story. You don't hear many of those anymore. I left with 3 of the cheeses I tried. We definitely will go back. The cheese selection is local. It does change. If you're a cheese lover 🧀 this is a must stop for you. We didn't get any seafood although the 🦀 cakes were calling our names. Next trip that will be a must. The seafood did look really good. Oh Cuchillos also owns a knife 🔪 sharpening business down the hall from the cheese shop. This is a must for any...

As soon as I entered the shop, Kate the owner, greeted me with excitement and tons of energy. Her enthusiasm for what she does made me excited to sample some local cheeses and get to take some home with me. She was not shy in letting me try each cheese for me to get a feeling of their offerings. I ended up leaving with 5 different AMAZING cheese's and a nice pound of smoked salmon (that is to DIE for!).
I 100% recommend you check them out! I can only imagine bigger and greater things coming their way...
Read moreYou.must.experience.THIS.cheese and seafood shop! Just enough variety. The store is adorable. The background and intel on what you’re buying is thoughtfully explained. We happened to meet Kate by chance at the farmers market in Washington while visiting the area. And had to also stop in to their brick and mortar store a few towns over. Her and her hubby are such warm, hospitable and all together lovely humans. We cannot wait to not only come back but to buy some of their gift baskets and have them delivered...
