CHEESE LIKE YOU’VE NEVER TASTED BEFOREThe Loyalist Market, located in the South Charlotte community of Downtown Matthews, is a place to learn about and experience cheese and charcuterie in a fun and unique way. There is no pretentiousness. We love talking about cheese and the different ways it can pair with wine, beer, and food. We want you to come into our shop excited to try new things, even if they scare you. We want you to leave feeling confident, ready to share your experience with your friends and family. Our shop is meant to feel like home - just a place to hang out and entertain. We can't wait for you to join us!
Cheese is a living, breathing thing. But most cheese is dead when you buy it. The flavors, the aromas, the texture - practically gone. Small wedges suffocated in plastic wrap for several weeks are pretty much all we know. You may be intimidated because no one lets you try it and explain what it is, or who made it, or how long it was aged. Food is intimate. Food is personal. Let us share the experience with you and change forever the way you feel about cheese.

BEHIND THE SCENES AT THE LOYALIST MARKETPassion. Love. Curiosity.
That describes my feelings for food - especially cheese and cured meats. I constantly want to learn more and share that experience with others. The Loyalist Market is something I've wanted to bring to life since I first stepped foot into a cheese shop at 7 years old. I hope you're as excited as we are to share your new food experiences with us! |
