Job Overview:

We are looking for a hardworking, responsible, and enthusiastic Cheesemonger & Charcuterie Specialist to join the Liberty Heights Fresh team! Excellent customer service skills and a passion for good food are 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 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. 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, learn your preferences, and happily share their passion.

We are willing to teach you everything we know about cheese and cheese mongering in a supportive, fun environment.
