Hey Friends! This week we’re featuring Joe. A true gem. Joe is a vital part of our day to day operations in the shop. He serves as local cheese buyer, and he is an absolute Wisconsinite through and through.
What cheese(s) are you enjoying in the case right now?
We got Cabezuela back! I love this little goat tomme from Madrid. I also love Chiriboga blue, a mild, buttery German blue that has become a staple in our case.
What does your life look like outside of France 44?
When I’m not slinging cheese and sammies, I’m a professional choir singer by night, currently involved in 4 different choirs around the Twin Cities. I also love trips to the park with my wife, Laura and dog, Guy.
What’s your favorite retail item in the shop ATM [at the moment]?
Our House F44 bacon. It has ruined all other bacon for me and I will never be able to quit it.
How do you take your coffee?!
Black when I’m working, lots of cream and sugar and chocolate and stuff when I’m not.
Say Hi to Joe next time you stop in!
