For me, the only food that can compete with cheese is chocolate and, frankly, it’s a close call. If words like “Roquefort” and “chevre” make you swoon, then you’ll want to live in this New Mexico cheese store!
Cheesemongers of Santa Fe has only been in business for a few years but it’s made its mark on a city already known for offering world-class cuisine. This is the only devoted cheese shop in Santa Fe. The store stocks about 150 cheeses – half international, half domestic.

Although the shop is often busy, they take the time to give you multiple free samples so that you can figure out which cheese you’re craving that day.

In fact, this cheese store places a strong emphasis on locally made products and traditional (read eco-friendly) cheese production methods.

The charcuterie section of the store is extensive as well. So many cured meats!

The whole set up is just screaming for you to create a meat and cheese board. If you don’t feel like doing that yourself, order a platter. Who knew a cheese plate could look so pretty?
