Cheesemonger (established April 2014), has built his career upon a passion for food service, customer service and, of course, cheese. Rhuaridh sources cheeses from some 100 of the most highly respected cheese makers, affineurs and artisans across the UK, France, and other selected Western European countries to sell on both a wholesale and retail basis from his business in Marble Arch, which won Cheese Counter of the Year at the World Cheese Awards in 2015.
