To say that I love Artisan Cheese Company and all that it brings to not only Main Street, but to Sarasota would be an understatement. Brought it along on a boat trip this morning and it was devoured by all aboard. Just the other day when I stopped in for some homemade pimento cheese (I saw that they had made some on their Facebook page!) I also picked up some goat cheese spread with fig and honey-my new favorite. I love coming in each and every time and finding something new.

I was a solo diner sharing the beautiful wood table up front with two folks who had split a mac and cheese-they concur-Yum! I kept this one all to myself and ate almost the entire portion-it is so rich and delicious. Finally, first forkful-Yum was what I said out loud. The dressing is definitely homemade and so light. When I can make it a meal, I oftentimes order the grilled cheese on fresh baguette with side salad-today, splurge! While waiting for it to cool down (I could hear it bubbling and sizzling in its own porcelain crock on my plate) I dove into the delish salad with the most amazing greens and finely slivered radish, cut grape tomatoes and perfectly sliced avocado. Of course I had to have the delicious Mac and 5 Cheeses with a side salad, my absolute decadent favorite. Have been in many times to pick up cheeses and other specialty items (charcuterie, jams, chocolates, etc.) but this time was dedicated just for me, for lunch, on a Lenten Good Friday. I love cured meats-and cheese!īoth places seem to be second career paths for the owners, which makes for a more comfortable, friendly appeal, especially As Good as It Gets, which is quick to toast with a glass of bubbly and share a bite-tastes and friendly conversation at no extra charge.Took the day off today and was so excited to be able to revisit Artisan Cheese Company for a nice little lunch. Private parties can be booked and include a custom-designed specialty tasting with wine pairings. liquid gold), caviar and French chestnut paste that will please most gourmands. (Hint: These are perfect for those hard-to-buy-for foodies who have been good all year, Santa.) And yes, they stock other specialty gifts from tea to 75-year-old aged balsamic (a.k.a. Speaking of wines, you won’t find much of a selection here, but you will find hard-to-get, higher-end wines like a 2006 Vega Sicilia or the Flaccianello Della Pieve 2006. Lifelong friends found their true passion with As Good As It Gets. (Try the Parmesan-crusted salami, $24.90/lb.) This little gem has packed several imported salamis, prosciutto and Serrano hams for those of us who love salty cured meats and a big bold Tuscan.
Charcuterie is the branch of cooking devoted to prepared meat products, such as bacon, ham, sausage, terrines, galantines, pâtés, and confit. Palm Avenue, vivid with special boutiques and art galleries, now hosts this small, specialty imported charcuterie and cheese shop. Just around the corner on Palm Avenue, As Good as it Gets opened this September. The cheese case at Artisan Cheese Company is well-stocked.
Check the schedule for upcoming cheese classes. Plus, I love to buy little jars of chutney or jam as hostess gifts, and the selection is simple but well-thought-out. There's mac and cheese and even bread pudding on the menu, and a host of cheese magazines to linger over. And have you ever had a cheese plate for breakfast outside of Europe? Save the plane fare and take a trip to Artisan for a fresh-baked scone and breakfast of cheese, sliced baguette and jam. With a strong focus on small dairy producers, the cheeses in Artisan's case-with notes from the coastal west and New England-have won my heart for years. First came Artisan Cheese Company, and oh, how you should indulge in a grilled cheese sandwich.
