About The Position

We are looking for a full-time, experienced cheesemonger with supervisory experience to work closely with existing staff to help us provide delicious cheese and exceptional service to our customers. As a cheesemonger, you not only have access to 200-300 different types of cheeses (many of them exclusive to us in the US), you also have access to hundreds of other specialty products that have been hand selected by our lead buyers from across the globe. With nearly 50 years of experience in the industry, Formaggio Kitchen has developed close relationships with producers domestically and abroad which allows our cheesemongers unmatched access to their expertise. As a company we encourage staff to take ownership of ideas and initiatives, and we are committed to providing support and resources to allow our staff to achieve their goals. This has included farm visits, access to in-depth product training with producers, development of new programs and marketing initiatives within the store (to name a few). A full-time Cheesemonger work schedule requires flexibility to work evenings and weekends. Formaggio Kitchen offers a unique work environment with great staff, fantastic customers and an opportunity for challenge and learning every day. Our close relationships with our producers provides once in a lifetime opportunities to learn from master artisans. Benefits for eligible employees include a staff discount, health insurance contribution, 401K, sick time, and paid vacation.

Furthermore, Formaggio Kitchen will provide reasonable accommodations to qualified individuals with disabilities, unless doing so would impose an undue hardship on the operation of our business.
