I first want to express how grateful I and the entire kosher community are for The Cheese Guy. Your products are truly the best kosher cheese on the market. In an industry where good kosher dairy is rare to come by, The Cheese Guy is ALWAYS high quality, delicious, and (most importantly) tastes like REAL CHEESE. Thank you very much!!

I've been eating The Cheese Guy cheeses for years now and they're the only reliable, high quality kosher cheesemonger in the USA. They also care about the customers and understand what most kosher-observant Jews are missing out on. I recently reached out to them looking for some comté, and while they didn't have comté, they were able to point me to a cheese that most closely met my needs. Any other kosher cheese supplier would have looked at me crosseyed.

Personal, helpful and personable. We asked for holiday gift baskets to be shipped to our three children. He not only assembled a truly amazing and delicious menu of cheeses and accompaniments but saw that they were delivered on time, What more could one hope for.We plan to keep using him for many future occasions and gift giving.

The Cheese Guy has a fantastic variety of cheeses! I was able to sample a few at The Chocolate Expo. Highly recommend!

I love The Cheese Guy cheeses, their customer service, and Brent's expertise and dedication to creating quality, authentic kosher/vegetarian products for those of us who would otherwise be limited to American cheese and mozzarella. Becoming Chalav Yisrael made it that much more challenging to find the cheeses I loved, and recreate foods I tried when traveling abroad. By default, I now always google or contact TCG directly to see what they have, and I'm never disappointed! From aligot to pao de queijo to an above average cheeseboard, I am always covered!

I love stopping by their booth at the Great Neck farmer's market. No matter what I'm in the mood for, or what I need for a recipe - pecorino, gouda, mozzarella, anything - they have the best stuff. Fresh, tasty, high quality, and nice people too!

I love The Cheese Guy!! Best cheeses ever. I buy them at my local Key Food supermarket, and a great price for artisan cheeses.The Viney Sheep is the tastiest...my husband asks for it every time I go grocery shopping. They also have a line of crackers and jams which pair so well with everything.

This company gives me so much Joy! Their cheeses are the bomb! Their snacks are delicious! A needed change for the better in the availability and production of artisanal kosher cheeses. Not to mention the people leading the company really care their customers and their products. Love this company 5 STARS ALL THE WAY.

The Cheese Guy delivered an impressive and unforgettable grazing table for the 26-28 guest at my home this past weekend. The table was overflowing with an amazing variety of cheeses, fruits, jams, dried fruits, nuts, candies, olives, etc. He and his staff were professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the origins of the cheeses and how to best pair them with the available wines. I would highly recommend both his services and his amazing cheeses. Thank you for a great experience.

We held an event for our early childhood center and synagogue and a great time was had by all. Everyone loved the program itself and more importantly the delicious cheeses!

That these cheeses are kosher is a bonus ... everyone can enjoy the tastes of The Cheese Guy. For non-cow's milk people, the Pecorino will whet your buds. For a mild flavor, try the Gouda. Actually, try everything! The distribution seems excellent as I have found TCG cheeses in my travels around the US, even bring home varieties that I only find "out of town."

The Cheese Guy does not disappoint. Amazing quality, taste and service. We used them for a 30 person dinner party and they arraigned the most beautiful and tasty platters with assorted cheeses, crackers, fruit and fruit and fig spreads. Was the talk of the party!
