Formaggio

Artisan cheeses, charcuterie, and edible delights
Talk of the town: Formaggio's own cheese caves, built from a basement office, have the perfect temperature and humidity for aging and maintaining cheese.

A gourmand's paradise as well as a Cambridge institution, Formaggio is one of the finest purveyors of artisan cheeses, over 300 kinds from multiple countries. In fact, its owner has received the title of Chevalier of the Ordre du Mérite Agricole from the French government for his work in promoting the best of French fromage. This titled cheesemonger has introduced several cheeses to the U.S. for the first time.
There are also fresh baked pastries and breads, as well as cured meats and other deli morsels, shelves crammed with imported delicacies, and an excellent wine selection - everything you'd need to feast in style.
