Cheese Tasting Showdown: USA vs. Europe


Adult Enrichment / Food & Drink -
Winter 2025

After hundreds of years of production, there is no question that Europe boasts some of the best cheeses in the world. However, while Europe often remains focused on preserving historical practices, America has launched into the scene with a great deal of fervor and inspiration. These creative American producers often use traditional European techniques with their own twist, constantly reworking and perfecting their recipes. Come challenge your palate and decide which reigns supreme—tradition or innovation?

Formaggio Kitchen

The Formaggio Kitchen family of stores began in 1978 with a vision of creating a European shopping experience in Cambridge. Best known for its cheese, Formaggio staff travel throughout the US and Europe visiting dairies, cheesemakers, and agers of artisan cheese whose products they import so that customers can experience the wonders of these artisan producers. Beyond cheese, they sell wine, beer, charcuterie, produce, olive oil, jams, honey, coffee, tea, spices, chocolate, confections, and a variety of other specialty food items.

Formaggio Kitchen was named one of the Top 10 Most Iconic Cheese Shops in America by Wine Enthusiast and one of the Top 50 Food Stores in the world by the Financial Times.
