We're the cheese behind Savannah's newest hotel restaurant. 🧀 Ideal Cheese is now supplying the cheese program at Le Flâneur, inside the new Recess Hotel — and Southern Living just featured the opening, written by our friend Colleen McNally Arnett. 70 years in New York, now a little piece of us in Savannah.

3 cheeses, 3 personalities — which one are you? 🧀

1. Fromage d'Affinois — the softie. Pillowy, buttery, complicated within.
2. Rogue River Blue — the bold one. Cave-aged, wrapped in Syrah grape leaves. Not for beginners.
3. Red Wax Gouda — the crowd-pleaser. Mild, mellow, everybody's friend.

Picks by Eric, our director of sales. Come taste your personality at 942 1st Ave.

Our first Rogue River Blue has arrived at Ideal Cheese. 🧀🍐🍷
One of America’s most celebrated blue cheeses, Rogue River Blue is made in Oregon from organic cow’s milk, then wrapped in Syrah-soaked pear leaves and aged to rich, silky perfection. Expect deep, savory blue character with notes of fruit, vanilla, toasted nuts, and a gentle w**e-like finish.
A spectacular cheese for the season—serve it with ripe pears, walnuts, crusty bread, honey, or a glass of dessert w**e. It also makes an unforgettable addition to a fall cheese board.
Limited arrival available now at Ideal Cheese—come taste why this World Cheese Awards champion has such a devoted following.

At Ideal Cheese, we’re grateful for the strength of our community and for the everyday acts of kindness that bring people together—around a table, in a neighborhood, and across generations.
We remember. 🇺🇸

Baboo has spoken: this is the purr-fect International Cat Day cheese board.
Today’s lineup features two American originals worth guarding:
• Vermont Creamery Coupole — a dome-shaped aged goat cheese with a wrinkly Geotrichum rind and bright, fresh flavor that turns creamy as it warms
• Perrystead Dairy Intergalactic — a thistle-rennet cow’s milk cheese from Philly with a gooey creamline, fluffy center, and out-of-this-world notes of green olive and baked bread
Baboo has claimed the board. The tasting is still for humans.
Come by Ideal Cheese and build your own feline-approved spread today.
