One year ago my girlfriend and I visited Petoskey for the first time, and stumbled upon Petoskey Cheese. I was thrilled. The atmosphere was wonderful, the food was amazing, and the staff was helpful, kind and knowledgeable. My husband is a cheese lover, and I knew that he would LOVE this shop, if ever able to visit.
Last week my husband and I traveled to Michigan, and went out of our way to visit Petoskey Cheese on Wednesday. I was so excited for my husband to experience this great shop! However, very quickly the trip was a disappointment. The selection was decent, but the overall experience was vastly different than the year before.

We bought Prairie Breeze Cheddar, Porter Marbled, Mango Ginger (dessert cheese) and Jalapeño Cilantro Jack. (I can’t remember what type they all were.)
