Operating on the premise that cheese should be fun, we try to make each visit to our shop unique and unforgettable. It is a playground for the cheese rookie, the rind-sniffing expert, and the curd curious. These are our people. St James cheesemongers and guests are encouraged to try every cheese, every day, to ensure that each cheese is being offered at its peak.
St James Cheese Company is a family-run enterprise, and our staff and guests are a part of this family. We are Richard and Danielle Sutton. We’ve pioneered the effort to bring artisanal cheeses to New Orleans since 2006, the year we moved back to a hurricane-ravaged city to open our shop against the well-meaning advice of those who care about our safety and sanity.
