Get your gourmet cheese fix from Bedford Cheese Shop in New York City

For many people, cheese is considered an essential. We pour it over tortilla chips and call it nachos. Melted cheese is enjoyed on garlic bread, pizza, and macaroni and cheese. Many of us enjoy cheese stuffed inside hamburger patties, chicken breast, or jalapeno poppers. Some of us dip our soft pretzels and breadsticks in a warm cheese sauce or get our cheese craving from warm broccoli cheese soup. We opt for sliced cheese on sandwiches and inside our salads. We're even known to eat a slice of cheese just 'cause or even pair it with a cracker and a glass of wine. And if you're a cheese lover, too, like the bulk majority of us, then you're going to be cheesing over Bedford Cheese Shop in New York City, NY.

Your new favorite New York cheesemongers

You know Bedford Cheese Shop sells that good cheese. You're also aware that they have a lovely selection of catering and menu items. But who's behind this New York fromagerie?

Bedford Cheese Shop started its roots in Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2003 by Jason Scherr and Jason Jefferies who wanted to bring their love of cheese to the hip New York neighborhood. 9 years later, the cheese shop gained a second location in Manhattan.

Today, Bedford only operates out of Gramercy Park. However, there's no doubt that Scherr, Jefferies, and their co-owners, Christina Earle and Samantha Fantauzzi, have a love for all things cheese and specialty foods, educating customers about the origins and traditions behind their products, and keeping old cheese-making traditions alive. Passion is persistent at Bedford Cheese Shop among each owner, co-owner, and cheesemonger.

And not to worry: you don't have to be within Gramercy Park to enjoy Bedford Cheese Shop. If you can't swing by the shop and are too far for DoorDash or Caviar delivery, not to worry. The company can also ship some of their products nationally. Shop now from Bedford's website to discover what goodies can be delivered to your United States home address.
