cheese monger
Sells artisan wedges
A cheesemonger is a person who sells cheese, typically someone with specialized knowledge about varieties, aging, and pairings.
The term suggests expertise beyond ordinary retail—a cheesemonger at a specialty shop can recommend the right cheese for any occasion.
The cheesemonger suggested a sharp cheddar for the charcuterie board.
Like fishmonger and ironmonger, the word has an old-fashioned ring but remains current in food culture.
