Amy Thompson, the head cheesemonger we profiled in our latest piece on Lucy’s Whey, was kind enough to share her picks for best American cheeses to add to your cheese plates this spring. Some of the cheeses come from fresh spring milk, others are aged a year and go great with springtime salads (Mona, Landaff and Dunbarton).
And for any advice, you can just head on over to their cheese counter at Chelsea Market, or chat with Amy on Twitter @LucysWhey. She’s always happy to help.
