As former inhabitant of Tours and Lyon, France (and therefore self-proclaimed cheese snob), I can honestly say that the Cheesetique is the best fromagerie in the States (and believe me, I've looked!). I never thought I would find ripe St. Marcelin this side of the Atlantic, or experience the phenomenal smell that only comes with a selection of way over 100 cheeses in the same room. And as if that weren't enough, they stock the best prosciutto around. I love the Cheesetique!

This is a wonderful place for Cheese. The only "real" Cheese shop in Washington area. The shop is just what I was looking for after coming back from a 2 weeks trip to France last year where such a shop is a way of life. Thank you for making my dream for getting good quality cheese products on a regular basis come true.

Jill, the "Cheese Lady", is FABULOUS! I will go in and tell her what I am serving and she will put together a wonderful variety of cheeses -- I have NEVER had a bad experience. Because of her expertise, my friends all ask me to provide the cheese because it's always a huge hit! Her selection is incredible and I'm always trying new things, although I can't get out of there without a piece of honey goat cheese! We LOVE the Cheestique!

Cheesetique's selection, and definitely the owner, are just terrific. Jill does cheese tastings every other month or so that are lots of fun. The shop is what draws me to Del Ray every week or two.

To put it simply: Jill. Jill Erber, the proprietor of Cheesetique, is clearly doing what she loves. And her enthusiasm for her store is contagious. It doesn't hurt that she and her staff take the time to give EVERY customer individual attention up to and including providing samples to make sure a customer gets just what they're looking for. It makes it a real treat to shop here.
