St James Cheese Company In Louisiana Is A Cheese Haven

Have you ever loved cheese so much that you opened a cheese shop? That’s exactly what Richard and Danielle Sutton did when they opened St. James Cheese Company in Louisiana. They’ve been bringing artisanal and farmhouse cheeses to New Orleans since 2006, and if you love cheese then you need to swing by and give them a try.

There are two St. James Locations in New Orleans.

Both the downtown and uptown locations are fairly similar.

The menu covers a wide range of small plates, sides, and sandwiches all featuring the star of the show: cheese

From French brie to Danish bleu cheese, each menu item draws out the flavors of artisanal cheeses for flavors that are almost too good to be true.

The grilled cheese will really take you to new levels.

Speaking of home, you’re going to want to check out their display of cheeses before you leave.

And don’t forget about the spreads. They can make or break a charcuterie board.
