Meet Your Monger: Mita

What’s your current “favorite” item in the shop?
I think the best item in the shop is the key lime pie. Super tart and sweet with the perfect amount of whip.

What do you do outside of working at France44 Cheese?
I am a member of 3 dance companies and spend 4 evenings a week in rehearsal. I’m a professional seamstress for one of the companies as well but find myself taking time to play with ideas for new projects.

What’s your absolute FAV sando?
I mixed two of my favorites into one. The sweet monger I call it. It’s got chèvre, sriracha, quince paste, honey, chorizo, and mixed greens.

Meet Your Designer: Dio

What’s your day to day role look like at France44? I do graphic design and marketing for France 44. Day to day I make posters, illustrate foods for recipe cards (my favs pictured here), work on our websites, and generally try my best to communicate all the wide variety of cool things we have going on at France 44.

What’s your favorite Sandwich? When I worked at the St. Paul Cheese Shop it was the Mozz Veg all the way. Now I feel flavorfully attached to the spicymonger.

What’s your current favorite cheese? Last week Sophia convinced me to bring home Capriole Sofia and I’ve been enjoying how that tastes and admiring how it looks. Here are her notes on it if you want some inspiration.

What do you do in your spare time? What spare time?

Meet Your Monger: Jared K

Current favorite cheese: Challerhocker. It's fudgy and roasty and zippy and pairs with just about anything you throw at it — what more could you ask for?!

Current favorite shop item: Two-way tie between New York Shuk's shawarma spice blend and the Condimela barrel-aged apple cider vinegar from Italy, both of which have quickly become staples in my kitchen.

Fun fact: I was almost on Jeopardy in college.
