Hmmm… never heard on the place. I’m definitely going to roll up on it now, though. I love me some cheese.

You live in Old Town, you like cheese, and you haven’t been to La Fromagerie yet? You must go! It’s at King St and Payne St, maybe about six blocks off Washington, in the direction of the Metro. They have an amazing selection of (mostly local) cheeses, some good meats, and a few other things, and they do beer-and-cheese tastings and cheese classes. It’s owned by a couple who are really sweet and totally unpretentious, and like any good cheese shop, they’re more than happy to offer tastes of the things they have on offer. And of course, their prices are totally reasonable.

They don’t have a bar like Cheesetique (to which I have not been, but I’ll definitely have to try now), but for eating at home, it’s excellent. I usually go there once a week. Here’s a link to the cheeses they have: http://www.lafromagerieonline.com/cheeses_meats.html

Yeah, the fact that it’s right next to the butcher shop makes this dangerous. And by dangerous I mean awesome.

This past week I was over grabbing a flank steak from Let’s Meat and popped into Cheesetique on a lark to find a good italian cheese to be the center of the Braciole. I gave the cheesemonger a description of what I wanted, and she shaved off a couple for me to try. One was a Reggiano that I’d heard of, but the other was off the beaten path, a Piave that softer, gentler and more delicious. A third of a pound later, I had the perfect center for my bracciole.

Love this place, totally going back sooner rather than later.
