Although it might seem like they’ve been around forever, Fairfield Cheese Company only started cheesemongering four years ago. Owners Laura Downey and Chris Palumbo transformed Fairfield Cheese Company from a local shop into a culinary destination and inspiration. Their shop is known for their amazing selection of small batch and farmstead cheeses, their charcuterie, and the variety of excellent food in the store. In fact, just a few people know (heavy on sarcasm) about how great the store is. They won tiny (more sarcasm) awards from Connecticut Magazine in 2011 and 2012 for having the best cheese selection and were even recognized by Food and Wine Magazine as being one of the top five places to buy cheese in the US.
Both Laura and Chris wanted to do something big to show their appreciation for the recognition and to their customers so they are hosting a Case Takeover. This is a fun new idea that you can liken to bars and restaurants doing tap takeovers that highlight one particular beer. Except, we’re not talking brews (keep reading though) here, we’re talking ’bout cheese, glorious cheese. In fact, we’re talking about two cheese producers: Columbia Cheese and Jasper Hill Cellars. The cheese from both of these producers will literally take over the cases in a decisive victory for your taste buds. The Case Takeover is happening on Saturday, May 4. During the day, representatives from Columbia Cheese and Jasper Hill Cellars will be on hand to talk about their cheese, how it’s made, and to answer any of your questions. Plus, the nice people at Saugatuck Craft Butchery will be providing cheeseburger sliders to help in the celebration from 1-4. What? Need something to wash that down with? Well, take part in a beer tasting from a local CT brewery, too, during the same time. In addition, there will be prizes, t-shirt giveaways, and refreshments, too.
So, congratulations to Laura, Chris, and all the staff at Fairfield Cheese Company.
Stay cheesy my friends.
