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.
