Cheese Traveler is opening a shop

posted May 1, 2012 | map this

Eric Paul helping customers at the Delmar Farmers' Market last November.

Eric Paul -- AKA The Cheese Traveler -- announced last night that he's opening a shop in Albany's Delaware Ave neighborhood, in the same strip as All Good Bakers.

We're waiting to hear more from Paul about his plans. As he posted: "there are many more details, because as usual our venture has to be eclectic." (This has been simmering since at least March -- let's just say we're curious to hear about the "eclectic" part of all this.)

Up to this point, Paul's shop has been mobile -- he's sold cheese at the Delmar Farmers' Market and other events. Daniel B -- who loves himself some cheese -- had high praise for Paul while writing about him back in November for AOA:

Eric isn't just a good cheesemonger, he's a great one. Nobody locally is doing what he does. Beyond his commitment to small-production, handmade raw milk cheese, it's the practices he employs that put him in the ranks of the country's best.

Speaking of All Good Bakers: The grand opening for their new shop is this Friday from 5-6:30 pm.

We couldn't be more excited that The Cheese Traveler is moving into the space next to us!! Delaware Ave. is becoming Albany's Local Foods corridor. What an amazing companion business. Congrats to Eric and family!! Can't wait to see what all he has planned!

The Scoop

For a decade All Over Albany was a place for interested and interesting people in New York's Capital Region. It was kind of like having a smart, savvy friend who could help you find out what's up. AOA stopped publishing at the end of 2018.
