"A two-hour Spanish cheese, wine, and small-bites tasting explores tapas traditions from Andalusia and highlights a variety of cheeses (goat, sheep, blue) alongside chorizo, jamón ibérico, and tinned fish; the guided event begins at 5:30 p.m. and is ticketed." - Nathan Tavares
"A beloved specialty food shop acting as a vendor at a French bread bake-off, offering samples to spectators during the East Cambridge bake event." - Erika Adams
"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 is a well-known cheese outlet with two Cambridge locations, one Boston location, and one New York location." - Paolo Bicchieri

The owners crowded travel schedule has them taste testing in unusual places and bringing their high quality finds back to a captive audience. Prepared foods are made with traditional methods, and whether you're looking for picnic ingredients, a hostess gift or coffee and scones for breakfast, this gourmand's paradise will no doubt take a chunk from your wallet and leave you wanting more. They have tours of their cheese cave in the Cambridge store, and you might just think you've stumbled into an Alpine hillside. Their South End location is a mini version of the mothership."
