Say CHEESE

I must admit that as much as I enjoy cheese, I find myself buying the same old reliable cheddar, swiss or brie. It's time to expand my palate, and explore the world of epicurean cheese. So I headed to Antonelli's, a small mom and pop cheese shop in Hyde Park next door to the Hyde Park Bar and Grill on Duval Street.

Owners John and Kendall Antonelli are living their dream.  While on their honeymoon, John told his new bride that he wanted to do something with cheese.  Two years later they opened Antonelli's and have developed a loyal following.  When asked what is the best thing about being a cheesemonger, John replied, "Sharing amazing cheese with amazing people".

There is no attitude here; just a friendly staff eager to share their knowledge and provide great customer service.  They are happy to let you sample the cheeses, finding the flavors and textures you prefer; and, you will leave knowing a little something about what you are buying.  If you need some wine to pair with your cheese, Antonelli's has a nice selection; as well as quality charcuterie, Marcona almonds from Spain, gourmet chocolate, truffled honey, olives and pate.
