Company description
Fairfield & Greenwich Cheese Companies are award-winning cheese and specialty food shops located in Fairfield County, CT. Our mission is to offer our customers the best farmstead and artisanally produced cheeses, charcuterie, and specialty pantry items, with an emphasis on top-notch, approachable customer service.
Sourcing Food with Integrity
We love supporting the American cheesemaker, as well as other artisan food producers nationwide and smaller production traditional cheeses worldwide. We forge relationships with small farms, cheesemakers, importers, and distributors to bring you the finest cheese and specialty foods available. Our goal is to curate the best examples of classic European cheeses we can find and the most delicious New World cheeses being made today. The cheese has to be delicious but equally important it must be made in traditional ways and honor the animals, the land, and the people who work it.
We believe the food system in this country needs improvement, and by supporting the cheesemakers who do things right, we can affect change. We want to help family farms and help preserve traditional foods, not large corporations. It is food that is healthier for us, better for the environment, and supports our rural communities. Job description Are you passionate about good food? Have you recently left a restaurant job? Fairfield & Greenwich Cheese Company is hiring cheesemongers in training. We have full-time and part-time positions available in Fairfield and Greenwich, CT.
We are looking for several hard-working, responsible people. Excellent customer service skills are a must and passion for good food is essential.
What is a Cheesemonger?
The definition of the word, "cheesemonger" is someone who sells cheese. That, of course, is the simple definition of what we do. We sell cheese, but really our job is more complex than that. We act as the liaison between the producer and you the consumer, we tend to the cheese until it's sold, and we advise and educate you so you can make the best choice possible. A true cheesemonger is passionate about cheese and should be able to recommend which cheeses pair well with which foods and wines. We always know which cheese is at its peak and in season. We know the story behind the cheese. A good cheesemonger is knowledgeable and approachable. In other words, a good cheesemonger will forge a relationship with you, will learn your preferences, and will happily share their passion
We are willing to teach you everything we know about cheese and cheesemongering in a supportive, fun environment. It is a great job for former restaurant people.
