AMAZING selection of gourmet cheeses! I absolutely loved the pre-made boxes that came with cheese, meats, nuts, a brownie. Then I would purchase a small jar of honey to go with. You just can't go wrong in this place.

Every time we find something new we didn’t know we liked before we tried it. They are family owned and run and we really appreciate that we don’t feel rushed. Our 20 MO also loves it as much as we do already

This is my daughter and I's go to daddy date place. She loves trying the new cheeses and the staff is always happy to give samples. We are respectful about how many we try based on how much we are going to purchase. Don't just sample and run. Support local business.

We had a team builder event with our Executive Team at Cheese Central and we had an amazing time. The owner is a fantastic hostess. We cooked and then ate everything we made. What a great time. My team is still talking about the fantastic time we had and wanting to do it again soon. Thank you for a great time. By the way, the price was great considering that we had an interactive class and then had dinner. I highly recommend Cheese Central for your team building activity or simply going to sample some amazing goodies.

Visiting from out of state and our good friend showed us around this adorable part of downtown Lodi. What a cute area filled with little treasures, including this shop. I'm a huge fan of cheese, so I knew I'd be checking out this store. I loved sampling all the unique cheeses that you don't normally find in your local grocery store. Since this neighborhood is very much involved with wine, it's probably why this cheese shop exists. But you don't need to be a wine consumer to enjoy this place. Just a fan of cheese. I took home quite a few little cheesy treasures. It's was fun bringing back home and sharing with the family. This place offers much more than cheese. Oh and it's air conditioned. A lovely escape from the torturous heat of the day. Check it out and everything this shopping area has to offer.

Need cheese? Very knowledgeable family running the best cheese shop in the area. Great for special occasions or dinner parties. They also put on cooking workshops and love to teach their customers about the foods they sell.

Wonderful assortment, were greeted by the most personable woman who gave excellent recommendations for us, not just cheeses but picnic ideas and wineries to visit. She was very informative and took pride in the local area, very happy with my visit there

Delicious and well placed with plenty of parking. Right in the middle of a bunch of wineries! The ladies there are very kind, friendly and well informed about pairings and flavors. I took all their recommendations and loved every single one! There is also a good assortment of crackers, bread, jam, and other paraphernalia for your charcuterie board.

Went in this morning to get some fun cheeses and found Cate Schmiedt working today, haven't seen her in a few years, so it was nice catching up! I got Pt Reyes Toma, Pt Reyes Gouda, Brie with mushrooms and Wexford Creamery mature Irish cheddar. Everything was so yummy - we had a charcuterie board with the cheese for lunch. For another time, I got Apple Cranberry Pear chutney-- woah! Will either serve with roast pork or over cream cheese. Maybe both ways! Thanks for the excellent experience again ❤🧀🥖

Great local, national and international selection of cheeses. Fun, funny staff. The Shaft's blue was the best I've ever had, and Cooper's Hill tastes like a baked potato. Amazing time in this shop! Go there!
