Formaggio Kitchen

Last-Minute Food Gifts Around Boston | Eater Boston

"Established in 1978, Formaggio Kitchen has expanded its concept from a European grocery store best known for its cheeses to include a diverse variety of sauces and ingredients from other parts of the world. You’ll also find the trendiest artisanal and locally made brands, from Goodnow Farms’ award-winning single-origin chocolate prepared from the bean in Massachusetts to the small-batch Vermont Vermouth that comes in a variety of styles, some using grapes grown in the Finger Lakes in upstate New York. The shop also maintains a well-stocked second location a 15-minute walk from the Kendall/MIT station on the Red Line, and they also have a South End outpost." - Valerie Li Stack

Formaggio Kitchen Has Relocated in Cambridge ‘s Huron Village - Eater Boston

"Formaggio Kitchen officially opens inside its new space at 360 Huron Ave. in Cambridge’s Huron Village today. The beloved shop, best known for its selection of cheese, wine, and specialty groceries, operated at its original location at 244 Huron Ave. — just blocks away from its new space — for 42 years. Owners Valerie and Ihsan Gurdal said that the move is bittersweet — they met and courted at the original location, after all — but that they’d been thinking about expanding to a larger space for quite a while. So when the former Fresh Pond Market space became available, they jumped at the opportunity." - Terrence Doyle
