What a great find in downtown Lodi! The staff was so helpful, and guided me to five cheeses that were exactly what I was looking for. I can't say enough good things about this fun establishment right in the heart of things.
Cheese Central is an absolute gem. This beautiful boutique cheese shop is thoughtfully curated and full of character, with an impressive selection of some of the best cheeses California has to offer. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate, they’re happy to guide you through pairings and make spot-on recommendations. If you’re looking to elevate a wine night or put together the perfect cheese board, this is a must-stop in Lodi. Excellent cheese, excellent quality, and an overall fantastic experience every time.
I just moved to the US from Europe a month ago. I discovered this place last week and I was so happy about the quality. Products are as good as back home ! Highly recommend
As a Realtor I love supporting local businesses and I enjoyed visiting Cindy and Loretta and having my palate flavored with some of the most delicious cheese and I made sure to sign up for the newsletter so I can take a cooking class. Check them out I have been coming here for about 7 years and I love everything about this place.
This was a great experience! I enjoyed browsing and sampling their large selection of cheeses, many of which came from other countries. I definitely left with too much cheese for a single person to eat alone 😂 The employees were kind and helpful, they were able to tell us about each and every cheese they had- it's origins, how it was made, and how long it aged. I would definitely recommend the sister cheeses Isabella and Rosalina!
