Dear Cheese Lovers,

Our screening of the award-winning documentary The Big Cheese is only a week away, and tickets are going fast! We would love to have our customers there! Did I mention our shop makes a cameo appearance in the film?

The film follows Adam "Mr. Moo" Moskowitz as he coaches a team of American cheesemongers competing at Le Mondial du Fromage — often called the "Olympics of Cheese" — in France. Team U.S.A. has never won the competition, and the documentary follows the underdog team as they navigate cultural clashes, personal struggles, and the technical demands of world-class cheesemongering in pursuit of a historic victory.

Directed by Sara Joe Wolansky and produced by Wolansky and James A. Smith, The Big Cheese has earned recognition at several festivals, including the Best Director award at the Phoenix Film Festival, Best Documentary Feature at the Cleveland International Film Festival, Audience Award Runner-Up at DOC NYC, and Best Feature Documentary at the Beloit International Film Festival.

Moskowitz, a third-generation cheese importer, owns and operates Larkin Cold Storage and Columbia Cheese, and founded the Cheesemonger Invitational. He has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and Wine Spectator, and has appeared as a guest judge on Chopped.

After the screening, Adam will join the cheesemongers of Fairfield Cheese Company for a live Q&A and cheese tasting, giving attendees the chance to sample the cheeses featured in the film while hearing directly from its star.

Tickets are available here. Seating is limited.
