Meet Mel, virtual cheesemonger par excellence. As our Corporate & Group Gifting Specialist, Mel helps get our organic cheese to homes and offices across the country. Quick with cheesy pun and a clever recipe, Mel is a ray of sunshine during our busy holiday season.

Jeremy Suizo is a 5-year veteran of our Ferry Building Cheese Counter, and now works as the General Manager of our San Francisco Shop & Sidekick Café. A trained chef, avid baker, and accomplished cheesemonger, Jeremy is always ready with a clever pairing recommendation and an expert tasting note. We caught up with Jeremy before the busy Thanksgiving holiday.

Last week, we took some time to interview Pame Rubio-Piña, the winner of the first ever virtual Cheesemonger Invitational. It's been a tough year for independent cheese counters (like the Fairfield Greenwich Cheese Company where Pame sling curd in Cos Cob, CT), but mongers like Pame have skillfully adapted to the times.
