Library
Containing both new cookbooks, and gently used donated cookbooks, our library touches on many topics. The new cookbooks feature titles on cheesemaking, cheese appreciation and culinary. The gently used donations cover a wide assortment of topics. The gently-used collection are all sold for $5 each and 100% of proceeds are passed directly to a food closet.
Olive Oil Station
Bulk fustis contain local olive oil for you to sample with local bread. The other local olive oils and vinegars can be sampled from the cheese counter. There are many award-winning examples for you to try!
Craft Beers and Sparkling Wines
The craft beer wall is restocked with seasonal selections featuring excellence in craft brewing locally, domestically, and internationally. The sparkling wine selection includes two methode champenoise labels produced locally. International selections are available in splits and full bottles. We do not carry still wines as our shop is surrounded with wine tasting rooms within walking distance. We
always have at least one alcoholic gluten-free beverage (and non-alcoholic choices as well).
Cheese Counter
Cheese sampling is fun! Let us treat you to a few tastes of cheeses you may not have heard of before. Our cheesemongers help direct your sampling experience, and provide great information about each cheese. Since we carry approximately 80 different cheeses at any given time, your taste buds will never be bored!
Delectable Pantry
Our delectable pantry items, both
sweet and savory, are chosen to
accompany our cheese.
Local nuts, quince and figs,
honeys and jams (some spicy!),
crackers, chocolates and dessert
items are featured. A nice selection
of gluten-free products are always
available. GIFT CERTIFICATES
are available in any dollar amount
for use on any product, class or
service available at CHEESE CENTRAL.
Rentals
No need to invest in, or store, specialized cheese equipment. Traditional raclette grills, fondue pots for each type of fondue, and specialty crock pots for ease in party service are available to rent by day. All are inexpensive and vary by equipment type.
Grand Central Kitchen
The Grand Central Kitchen is more
fun than your home dining room!
Enjoy meeting new people while
learning and eating in our culinary
classes. Our events can be a fun
date night, a couples get-together,
or a gift to share. Private parties for
all occasions are available. Free demonstrations and special events
take place throughout the year.
