Blessed be the cheesemongers, for they are kind, patient, and share the joy of cheese! This is a wonderful shop with a tremendous variety of domestic and import cheese, and a special emphasis on local Ohio cheeses (including their own). If I was taking a car trip home, I would have loaded up, but I was restricted by having a small hotel fridge and a flight days later. I bought a perfectly sized cheese tray for one that included three of their own cheeses (and it was phenomenal) and the monger offered great advice as I struggled to choose cheeses that could go without refrigeration for the plane trip. (I have done this many times before as I travel, so I know to go for more aged, dry cheeses, but man is it hard to choose among such a great selection.) The whole time, I geeked out over everything cheesy. I would love to come back here! read more

Arrived before 6 pm on a Wednesday- they were already packing up to close, despite posted hours stating they were open until 7. This shop was the main reason we came to the Market so it was a big disappointment that they closed so early. read more

While strolling through the North Market, waiting for my breakfast, I decided to browse around Black Radish Creamery. I'm a big cheese fan but I generally dabble with the $3-5 bin at Kroger. Yeah, I cheese on a budget, so sue me. Along with a plethora of cheddars, gouda, brie, and other Ohio made cheeses, you'll also find what I like to call, cheese accessories. They carry North Country Charcuterie products (another local biz), crackers, jams, anything you'd likely pair with a good cheese. After looking around a bit, I finally asked the staff about their favorite picks. They shared what they liked, along with customer favorites, and eventually I found one that I knew I would enjoy. I had mentioned enjoying a goat gouda and they shiftly directed me to one they had in stock. I purchased that along with some preserves and a seasonal Circle kombucha that I've had trouble finding around town. I tried my goodies once I got home and I was blown away. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Reviewing the Valentine' s Cheese Box for Two I found this online and thought it would be a hit at my Galentine's Day gathering. I ordered online, followed up with a phone call to make sure I didn't accidently select the wrong pick up date and they were friendly and confirmed my order. I got an email reminder and my order was ready as promised. What a beautiful presentation and the cheese! AND THE SALAMI ROSE?! From their site - Featured Cheeses: Bankston, Bloomy Rind Brie Style, Ohio Shenanigans, Cave Aged Tomme, Ohio Alp Blossom, Edible Flower Rind Alpine Style, Germany. The Flower Rind was by far the best, but also the accompanying honey, crackers and fruits (pear, grapes, raspberries) made this extra special. NOT A BAD ITEM IN THE BEAUTIFUL BOX. This was the hit of the gathering. I will be back, they have attentive and friendly staff that are knowledgeable about pairings, and this box was fantastic. read more

They have quite a variety and the cheese prices are very competitive. I bought some goat brie and raclette which we're looking forward to trying. The price on the raclette alone was worth the trip. They will serve you raclette made on the premises but we will try ours at home. The service was attentive and prompt. Looking forward to trying our loot and I'm sure we'll return for more. read more

Black Radish Creamery - the label on the container - Cheese Shops Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Love this new cheese place so much more than the old vendor. Products are open and easy to see, the staff is very helpful and friendly, and the cheese is excellent in quality. They also offer a few other items to accompany your purchase such as crackers, mustards and olives. This shop is always on our list when we visit the market. read more

Let me start by saying that the mozzarella cheese is the best cheese that you will ever eat. I bring it to room temperature and slice it to layer with my heirloom tomatoes, basil and drizzle with balsamic reduction. To die for. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. Check this creamery out, you will be glad that you did! read more

Replacing the previous North Market cheese shop, Black Radish Creamery ensures that you have a convenient option for delicious cheese when shopping at the market. The well-organized case makes it easy to examine the cheese selection, and the helpful staff is there to guide you to just the right cheese. They feature a variety of other items that you might be looking for, should you be putting together a cheese plate. Things like local sausage from North Country Charcuterie. After all, no cheese plate is complete without some salami. Finally, although it might not be immediately obvious, Black Radish also has a food menu which, fittingly, includes several grilled cheese options. I've yet to try them, but the descriptions on the menu sound delicious! read more

Black Radish Creamery - Menu -- March 2018 - Cheese Shops Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

A lovely cheese selection located within the north market. What caught my eye on a certain day was a cheese cracking presentation the creamery was having. A crowd gathered and we all watched as they showed the process of "cracking" open an $1,100 parmesan cheese wheel. So cool. read more

Black Radish Creamery sells the highest quality products. My favorites are their sharp cheddar, brie, blue, tallegio, aged gouda, tomme, ossau-iraty, mozzarella and raclette. I recently made a snack of warm sweet potato topped with BRC's Tulip Tree Creamery Trillium triple-cream, bloomy-rind brie, and it may have been the best thing I've ever tasted! Being vulnerable to Covid-19, we need contactless curbside pickup. Black Radish does a great job! I email my order, Anne emails me an invoice, which I pay online. When we arrive, I text her the parking location. Our orders have been well packed, and she puts the bags in the hatch of our car. We are grateful for the delicious cheeses and the excellent customer service. read more

Stopped in the North Market today for a totally different reason and spotted the sign advertising raclette. I'd heard about it from a friend but never tried it. I'm so glad I did! It took a little while to warm up and I had to wait for bread, but it was soooo worth it! They offer it over focaccia bread from Omega (I happened to get there just as some was coming out of the oven!) for $8.50 or $4.50 to scrape it over anything else purchased at the North Market (it would be incredible over kettle chips from Barrel & Boar!). Their other offerings looked great too, I was just so excited for the raclette I didn't try anything else. read more

The physical Creamery is located in Granville, Ohio, but Black Radish does have a stand within Columbus at The North Market. There you can find a wide assortment of artisanal cheeses and fruit spreads. You can even purchase Salami from local North Country Charcuterie. You may pay a little more for the cheese at Black Radish but that is because of the high quality and incredible taste. There is also the one on one with any Black Radish employee that can help guide you with your purchase. Did you know that there is an entire spectrum of tastes just within Blue cheeses. You may think you hate blue cheese but I bet the employee at Black Radish could help you second guess yourself. There is a gamut of tastes when it kinds to any kind of cheese. A wide spectrum from mild to bold and everything between. Stop by and let them show the cheese way. read more

I placed an order for caviar for a gift on the 17th. Pick up was arranged for the 23rd. I placed the order first via phone and then finalized via text, so the store had my phone number. The 23rd arrives and I go to pick up my order. I arrive and it is not ready. They do not even have the caviar. They tell me I can come back tomorrow for the caviar and take the cheese tray today. Unfortunately I am unable to come back so I had to cancel the order. Now I am left scrambling for a gift to replace this one. I am upset with the poor customer service and lack of communication from the store. Either one of two things happened. Either they forgot to order the caviar and just told me the shipment was delayed to cover the fact that they forgot to order it. OR the shipment really was delayed and they failed to call me to let me know not to waste a trip in to the store. Either option is poor customer service. I had high hopes for this but after this experience I will not be returning. read more

While at the North Market for lunch we stopped by BRC. We wanted to buy just about all the cheeses and preserves. My favorite thing is their "Billionaire" strawberry rhubarb preserves. I still remember some years ago when BRC was just getting started and was at an event at Weiland's Market giving taste tests and I fell in love with the Billionaire. Great for cocktails--just saying. Love seeing their operation grow at the North Market. read more

They have huge variety of cheeses to choose from and the ones I bought were delicious.

Good quality cheeses, spreads and condiments. I like the selection. Having a perfect light dinner with some fruit, mustard, cheeses and a baguette from Omega. I would go there again. Friendly, knowledgeable service. read more

We stopped here while browsing the market because seeing their beautiful display of cheeses reminded me of our trip to Spain. We found an amazing locally made sheep cheese there (in Spain) that was rolled in (I think?) ash. I asked the woman working at Black Radish if she'd every heard of a cheese with ash and she introduced me to three different cheeses with ash! She was knowledgeable and personable- knew her products extremely well! Just tried one of the cheeses last night with a baguette. It's a Kokoborrego sheep cheese made in Mt. Gilead. Just the right amount of creaminess that made it easier to spread without losing a bit. Wouldn't want to lose a speck because it is super-yummy!!! Sadly, searching the web I cannot find it in Cincinnati, but I will happily make the trek back to Columbus to visit Black Radish again! Will have to try the second cheese I bought tonight and update my review. Have a feeling it will be equally delicious :o) Try their cheeses!! It will not disappoint! read more
