St. James Cheese Company

St. James Cheese Company, an incredible cheesemonger, is situated across the street from my hotel in New Orleans. I grabbed a sandwich for lunch yesterday and snacked on a fantastic cheese plate this afternoon. I love cheese 🧀. Funky, stinky, hard, soft, aged, and new. The variety offered at St. James is not one I have frequently come across. The staff has a passion and depth of knowledge about the cheese that is tangible. The cheese plate I had today was excellent with wonder accoutrements. As for the sandwich that I devoured yesterday, I ordered the Il Mostro- coppa, mortadella, rosemary ham, and provolone with pickled red onions, tomato, and pepperoncini mayo; sublime.

The restaurant at Saint James Cheese Company is very good with good service. Inside and out door seating is available. We also like it as a market as well. They carry a very wide variety of cheeses, some we can’t find elsewhere. Even better they offer samples and will slice any amount you like. Very nice people with great service. This is definitely our go to spot for cheese.

This place was beyond delicious. Amazing cheese, bread, and drinks. I got the Brie and Ham sandwich with a side salad and the tomato basil soup. I wish I could pick what was my favorite part of the meal, but it was all fantastic. Each bite was so perfect in its own way. My lunch date gor their hot mufaletta and it was so tasty. Salty and savory and perfectly toasted. Definitely come give this a try, I know I’ll be making a stop here whenever I’m in NOLA again.

We wondered in here on our way to the convention center, and I’m so glad we did. The sweet person behind the counter made us a charcuterie board tailored to our personal cheese preferences. It was delicious and an enjoyable snack (which ended up being lunch). They have lots of fun gifts/unique foods. We sat on the couch and enjoyed our cheese, crackers and other snack items while sipping the coffee from next door. I’d come back to try the sandwiches or salads!
