The Cheese Shop of Salem, Salem
Philosophy: The Cheese Shop of Salem, located in historic downtown Salem, features an extensive cut-to-order cheese selection, a boutique wine and beer section, and a vast assortment of charcuterie and grocery items. Their primary mission is to share a love of food with the community.
What’s New: An always updated selection of new and amazing cheeses, including Aussie Magic—a fresh, spreadable Australian sheep and goat’s milk cheese marinated in olive oil and herbs. This addictive cheese is creamy, garlicky, and perfect spread on toast, melted over pasta, drizzled onto salad, or as a dipping sauce for bread. It has developed quite the cult following!
Standout Quality: Sincere and passionate customer service, as well as the largest cheese selection and the largest selection of natural wine on the North Shore.
Trend: #epicgrilledcheese! Every Saturday, check out their Epic Grilled Cheese pop-up at the shop from 11 a.m. until supplies run out. These special sandwiches are made to order on bread baked daily by their neighbors at A&J King Artisan Bakers. As dangerously delicious as it gets!
