    I came here for a tour of the creamery. They make a variety of local cheeses and are a small business. The tour guide, I didn't get his name, was pleasant and informative. He answered all of our questions and has been working there for a long time. They also offer some cheese-making classes and I will take one later this summer. It was interesting to hear about how the ideas blossomed into a whole operation. The facility is very clean and sanitary. We even got to sample the cheeses which was right up my alley. It is a short experience, only about an hour, and it runs for $10. I thought it was cool and entertaining. I like learning about the origins of food.

    What a treat today @riverwheycheese for a curated tasting. Celebrating my neighbor Judy early for her birthday. This was a first for Judy, Michele, and myself. We brought our own wines (Pinot Grigio and Pinot Noir) to enjoy with the courses. Susan shared many stories, including this culinary journey. Thomas prepared and plated each tasting. Dynamic duo! After the tasting, you can buy cheeses, condiments, and more. I bought the Garden Crisp, which has arugula and celery seeds, and the Onion & Balsamic Jam. Looking forward to sharing it with my hubby and Dad. We had a tour of the facility and learned more about the cheese making process.

    We took a cheese tasting & tour today of River Whey Creamery. The manager, Jaicen was our tour guide . He is very knowledgeable and that she's making process and explain so many things to us as a group. It was really nice getting to know him and what all is entailed in making cheese. River Whey cheeses have been in production since October 2014 and are available at H-E-B Central Markets and Whole Foods Markets all across Texas, Antonelli's Cheese Shop in Austin, TX and many other local restaurants, hotels, wineries, and shops. For more information about wholesale to chefs, hotels, and restaurants, visit our contact page and send us a message. Susan's Rigg the owner & founder had a passion for producing cheeses that are truly unique has resulted in five fine aged cheeses: Keystone®, Caldera España®, The Welshman®, Indigo Ridge®, and Whey Blue®. Plus five beautiful fresh cheeses - St. Clements® and Cranberry Frost® in the winter months, Midsummer Surprise® and Garden Crisp . We got to taste test all these cheeses, except the seasonal ones. My very favorite was the Welchman.

I was not disappointed. I bought three different types of cheese. Staff was super nice. They took their time with me. They let me taste the cheese before I bought it. They gave great recommendations. They also sell tiny pieces of cheese that are leftover when they cut for bigger orders. I bought a few of those to taste. The store also has balsamic vinegar, oils and gift ideas that go great with cheese. Parking is available on site, but shared with the other businesses. I'm so glad that I now have a place where I can get some great cheese from other countries. For those that want a charcuterie board made, they do that too

Her name is Gabby very sweet lady as well. She had made a fresh fondue and was offering the fresh fondue with bread to taste test, and it was just amazing as well. Out of all the cheeses I tasted, and I tasted many of them The rosemary manchego was definitely my favorite cheese. Now that I found a really cool little cheese shop, I definitely will be going back and the hospitality was wonderful that definitely will be drawing me back as well.

I wanted to get this for my book club soiree, but did not have time to make a visit as it is a little north of downtown. Antonelli's Cheese Shop is charming and quaint. While the shop is small they have an assortment of items to sell in addition to cheese - wine, sauces, jellies, etc. I was immediately greeted upon entry into Antonelli's cheese shop. Two other customers were being helped, however, I had a store associate offer me some cheese samples. While the samples were good, I was specifically interested in the three cream cheese. They had two choices to select from. I was hoping they had more. This is a shop you need to spend some time in to leisurely evaluate the cheeses. There was also a human size dog in the shop at the time. I don't know what is about dogs, they like to lick me. Guess what...I do not like to be licked. So, I jetted out of the store.

They have wine, jams/jelly/preserves. Chocolates, and olives. They also have premade charcuterie boards too. When I came, they were giving away free cheese everyday of the week. The first 100 people that were in line. Free cheese? Yes please. As you can imagine, there was a long line of people waiting, and with the store being small, we were sent in in small groups. Couple people come out, couple people go in. As the line shortens and you get to the counter. You're given your free cheese, and asked what type of cheese you like. I gave my favorites, soft cheese, like brie, hard cheese, like manchego I like spicy cheese like hatched chili cheese or a jalapeño cheese. So after giving some examples of cheese that I like the gentleman helping me brought out three different samples and we tried them together and loved every one of them so I chose which ones I liked out of the three and then we moved down the counter a little bit, and the gentleman brought out another selection of three cheeses, and I tried those and told him which ones I liked, and they were all phenomenal. The gentleman that helped me was very attentive. He listened. he gave examples exactly what I was asking for and it was absolutely beautiful experience. even though they were packed and crazy and had 100 people waiting outside. He just treated me like we were just one on one. He took his time with me. I thought it was such a spectacular experience very personable. I walked out with 5 different cheeses. A bar of orange chocolate with dried cherries. And a baguette. And let me tell you, I ate so good during our Texas ice storm 2026! So here's the down side. Parking. There are like 8 parking spots in front. And a couple parking in the back. But beyond the back, there is a small pay with a QR code parking. It's a bit of a struggle as far as parking goes. There is no street parking. But I'm sure when you're not dealing with 100 customers it's not as much of a struggle. There are 2 accessible parking spots out front. Had a great experience. And will come back again.

They are attached, all one building. They are really responsive! I accidentally booked a reservation for 14 instead of 13, asked for a refund, and received it within a day. We arrived 10 minutes early for our appointed tasting time, and spent it wandering around the shop. We were led to the back tasting room on time and seated with a delicious tasting set of 6 olive oils and 4 balsamic vinegars, along with some bread as a palette cleanser. Our host was very informative and each olive oil and balsamic were noticeably different. The Sicilian was a great tasting Olive Oil x Italian Herb type of feeling, and most of the olive oils had the authentic black peppery aftertaste. I ended up going home with some of the Terra Verde to share with people, as well as the fig balsamic vinegar. We ended up eating at the bistro here, too (Order-to-entree: ~25 minutes-35 minutes for the entire table of 13). The flatbread was very sharable among two people. Everyone did comment on how the olive oil notes stood out in their dishes! The prices were extremely reasonable and they set aside a long table for our large group, great service all around. Overall, we had a great experience here and would definitely recommend the tasting for a unique nonalcoholic experience in the area.

I've known that the rocky soils in the Texas Hill Country are good for wine producing, but recently learned that it is also great for making great olive oils. With many misleading brands in the grocery store, extra virgin olive oil includes a high percentage of seed oils as Texas does a poor job of regulating what the label says. As we are constantly looking for better options to prepare our foods, finding a healthy olive oil has been on our minds recently. Texas Hill Country Olive Co. is not only producing authentic oils, but is also an award winning brand for doing such. During the tasting, we not only sampled a variety of oils and balsamic vinegars they produce, but also learned the history of doing so. The 4 s, sniff, swirl, sip, and swallow was the process to get the true taste to come alive in our mouths. We ended up buying the Sicilian olive oil and Blackberry balsamic vinegar to take home, as they were our favorites. There are many to choose from, so it's worth doing the tasting. If you have an afternoon free, desire a new experience, and want to view the beautiful hill country landscape, then this may be just the trip for you.

We started out the day with a cheese tasting & rose on the way out to the dairy. The bus was very comfortable and the team was so lively on the bus ensuring we had a great time. They shared so much about cheese that we didn't know and the pairings were great. We the arrived at Pure Luck Dairy and the little baby goats were to die for! Amelia & Hope were so kind and gave us a tour of their land and their daily process. We got to visit with the goats and do a tasting of their cheeses with some delicious pairings and I understand why they've won so many awards! I could eat a whole tub of those cheeses no crackers needed haha. We returned back to Antonelli's tasting room to end with raclette & some pairings and just debrief about the whole day and it was wonderful.

    BUY IN STORE -- Not online…read more I truly hate writing this review because Rebel Cheese's products are excellent but the fulfillment and customer experience were a mess from start to finish. I ordered a holiday cheese box on December 3 as a Christmas gift. My card was charged immediately. The order never shipped, and I received no communication until I followed up myself, multiple times. After the holidays, I learned (only because I kept pushing) that my order had been internally canceled due to a system glitch, with no email, no refund, and no outreach. I was repeatedly told it would ship on specific dates that came and went. A replacement order was finally sent in January. It arrived late, wet, with melted and ruptured ice packs, and the cheese was very soft to the point my friends weren't sure it was safe to eat. The box also lacked the gift note that was supposed to be included. What bothers me most is that my card would have stayed charged indefinitely if I hadn't chased this down myself. That's not okay especially for perishable food. It's a real shame, because the product itself is great. But based on this experience, I can't recommend ordering gifts or anything time-sensitive unless the fulfillment and communication processes dramatically improve.

I was hosting several vegan family and friends for Thanksgiving, and planned to serve their cheeses as an appetizer for all 15 guests. I followed their shipping date cut off and ordered well before the cut off. I ordered 11 days before Thanksgiving. On the Monday before I still had not received any communication about my order and their website said it was being processed. I tried to call and got a message that they were too busy to answer the phone and to send an email instead. I sent the email and the reply was We are very busy but doing everything we can to fulfill orders. They promised to overnight any orders not shipped on Monday. On the day before Thanksgiving I found out they did not ship my order and essentially asked that I understand because they are so busy. They offered to ship my order later and they would throw something in for free for my inconvenience. This was a standard poorly written customer communication. I replied and explained how after their reassurances they had left me without my order or sufficient time to find a suitable replacement. This time a got a genuine reply from Luis, but same offer full refund, or some free item. It nice for them that they are so busy that they can't fulfill customer orders on time. My experience was being left holding the bag last minute and not much in the way of an apology.

Let's talk boards: each one is a curated experience, not just a pile of meats and cheese. From their manchego offering to the locally sourced Indigo ridge from River Whey Creamery, every bite feels intentional and indulgent. Whether you're treating yourself or impressing guests, CheeseMe makes you look like a hero. But here's the kicker--it shares space with a fantastic coffee shop, so you can sip your cold brew while diving into a weekly specialty sandwich, pasta salad, or rotating board that's always on point. The flavor combinations change weekly, and somehow, they always slap. I still dream about the Caprese sandwich and the Mexican elote pasta salad. The vibe is chill, stylish, and welcoming. You can tell this place was created with love and a strong sense of community. Latina-owned, woman-powered, and full of flavor? Yes, please. Do yourself a favor: come hungry, leave happy, and bring a friend so you can try twice as much and as the their slogan suggests, come for the , stay for the cheeseme!
