fromagerie
French cheese store
A fromagerie is a shop specializing in cheese—the French equivalent of a cheesemonger.
The term appears in English contexts to evoke artisanal quality or European sophistication: We stopped at a fromagerie in the village for some local varieties.
The word may also describe the cheese counter or section within a larger market.
