"A wheel is not finished when it leaves the cave.
It is finished when it arrives at your table."

Our Brooklyn warehouse maintains four distinct temperature zones — from 38°F ripening rooms for washed-rind formats to 55°F long-aging cellars where Comté and Gruyère develop their crystalline depth. Every wheel is turned, brushed, and evaluated by hand before it moves toward your counter.

Voices from the Trade

What the people who actually know cheese say.

I've been sourcing through Fromage for three years. The 24-month Comté they carry is unlike anything else in the city — the paste has that rare hazelnut depth you only get from raw milk and genuine alpine terroir. My holiday case wouldn't be the same without it.

When I build a tasting menu around a single Époisses, I need absolute confidence in the ripeness and provenance. Fromage is the only distributor I've worked with who can tell me the exact date of production and the name of the affineur. That specificity is everything.

Our specialty buyers have tried every importer in the Northeast. Fromage's cloth-bound Cheddar program is genuinely exceptional — they're pulling wheels from three different Somerset producers and aging them differently for each format. Nobody else does that.
