bedford cheese shop: great place for cheese and other treats
bedford cheese shop has been around since 2003 (might they have marked the beginning of williamsburg) offering a great selection of cheeses as well as other high quality food stuff. they have a great, well-edited selection of high end interesting cheeses, and are known to be quite generous with the sampling. while it’s not murray’s in terms of price or range (there is a bit of tax for crossing the east river), if you’re out in williamsburg this is really the only place to go. i especially like that bedford cheese shop offers a cheese subscription where for each month you get three surprise cheeses delivered to your door — perfect for those relatives who really don’t need any more stuff.
bedford cheese shop also finds the best of the local food goodies — seeking far and wide those small producers who really have something special to offer. for pickles, they have mcclure’s pickles as well as pickles from brooklyn brine co. where they’re experimenting with all sorts of veggies including fennel, yellow wax beans and beets. on the sweet side of things, bedford cheese shop carries the beautifully packaged mast brothers chocolate bars, maple syrup and candy from vermont’s pumpkin village foods. and of course, bedford cheese shop has a great selection from my current obsession liddabit sweets.
on the meatier side of things, in addition to a great selection of salamis and chorizos, bedford cheese shop also carries pâtés from fabrique délices, a californian traditional french charcuterie company. bedford has mustards from raye’s mustard out of maine, and whitney’s castleton crackers (maple, rye and wheat flavors) made in vermont. it’s hard not to stop by bedford cheese shop when i’m nearby, and usually i’m not just there for the cheese. bedford cheese shop, 229 bedford avenue between s. 4th and 5th streets, brooklyn, new york, .
