Righteous Cheese is an artisanal cheese shop offering unique, uncommon cheeses handmade in small batches locally, across the US and around Europe. Our selection changes seasonally as we focus on cheeses that are truly at peak ripeness – utter deliciousness!
Come visit us in the heart of DC’s new artisan food market, Union Market.
Slake your thirst for knowledge at the Righteous Cheese bar, where we carefully build seasonal cheese & wine pairings, as well as cheese & craft beer pairings. The cheese course is a moment when we slow down and enjoy the simplicity of a single bite. Every cheese tells a story, whether it be the newest creation from a local farm or a European cheese steeped in a thousand years of history. We’ll share the story of cheese and wine while you savor the experience.
