Such a great shop! My fiance & I visit frequently, we love the fact they rotate a lot of their cheeses. There's always something new to buy or sample! Any of the cheeses are readily available to sample upon request. The staff is always kind & knowledgeable about their products! In addition, a nice selection of frozen game meat is also available, I would highly recommend the boar sausages if you see them. Chips, hot sauce, seasoning, honey, and more can also be found at the shop for those looking to add a little extra to their charcuterie. Overall, great selection of items. I recommend this shop all the time to those visiting Lititz! It certainly never disappoints! read more

The Savory Gourmet - Savory Gourmet - Cheese Shops Near Me - Lititz, Pennsylvania

Cheese is our favorite and we have visited MANY shops in our travels The Savory Gourmet is #1 on our cheese shops list :) The shop is cute, clean, & well organized. The owners & employees are welcoming, sweet, and very knowledgeable. They go above & beyond to know what the customers like & allow you to sample their recommendations which helps choose the perfect cheeses. NOW about the cheeses...they are AMAZING!!! Sweet, savory, spicy, mild, sharp and everything in between. We also bought the most amazing Pâté, cured pork, salami & chorizo. I made grilled pork chops w/ the French Onion Cheese that were 5-star if I do say so myself LOL. Look at my pictures or better yet experience it for yourself...you won't be disappointed :) read more

The selection of cheeses alone make it worth a trip to the Savory Gourmet. Our family of five stopped in and were treated to enough samples that we were each able to find our new favorites. With some natural honeycomb, bread and crackers, the store offers everything you'd need for a fancy little picnic or a serious charcuterie spread. The folks behind the counter were knowledgeable and so pleasant to interact with. We're instant fans! read more

It's one of the best hidden gems in Lititz! You diffently do not want to miss this little shop of glory. It's in the main town, Lititz, so parking can be a little hard, but there is plenty around. A few months back, sometime last year, they hosted a little kangaroo dinner party cooked by a Brazilian chef they had brought in. The cost from what I can remember was $75, which got as pictured some of their cheeses, a salad, the main course, and dessert. I am unsure if they still hold dinners like this. However, if they do, I highly recommend going it was worth the money! They have a large selection of cheeses as well as a few standing freezers of a ton of different game to pick from. My brother got all the meat pictured and also tried the truff and sauce. The owners are also super friendly and know a lot about their product. read more

What a find when visiting Lititz. Amazing selection of prime beef, such as marbled Kobe Beef and Piedmontese Italian Beef. If you want some imported Risotto or pasta to go with them, they have them. They have all sorts of game here. This is by far the largest collection of game meat I have ever seen in one location. They have Antelope, Alligator,Bison,Elk and about 30 more too numerous to list here. Are you craving some Rattlesnake? Come on in. I tried and purchased some Kangaroo jerky, it was very tasty. The store also has a large selection of gourmet cheeses and accompaniments which the owner was happy to let us taste. This is a fantastic gourmet food store, staffed by a knowledgeable,helpful and friendly staff. This is the place to come if you are seeking quality hard to find gourmet items. I will be back. read more

I love the store! I literally drive 1 hour and 15 minutes just to go to the shop. They have the best selection of cheeses, and the staff is so informed about the cheese, the cheese making process, and all the specifics you could want to know. They were always happy to let you taste the cheese and to make recommendations. They also have an incredible selection of exotic meats including boar, Buffalo, kangaroo, duck, elk, llama, and more. And I love to try the different sauces, jams, and treats they have in the store. It is a must stop for any cheese lovers, or anyone who appreciates gourmet food. Today I came home with Point Reyes Blue cheese, Black Hill botanical jam, rhubarb with dandelion and honey, and raspberry with Bergamont. Also one of our favorite sauces, Robert Roth Childs pineapple coconut mango tequila sauce. Amazing on chicken and fish. read more

Just WOW! What a find in this small touristy town. Owned by a super friendly husband/wife as a small business right on the main street, is totally packed with exotic meat and cheese selections. If you like non-standard meat and cheese options, this is the place, to visit and find some things you can enjoy. They are a busy place, lots of visitors inside, so be a bit patient until the crowd filters back out to let you in. Rating: (*****) Woohoo! As good as it gets. Recommended. read more

Mmmmm meat! Everything you can imagine from python to reindeer. Everything is frozen but very delicious. Very welcoming - the cheese sampling is divine! read more

My sister in law knew that while we were visiting Lititz I was on a hunt for a good goose liver pate' after visiting Zest and finding two outstanding canned pate's from France, I still wanted some fresh creamy pate' that I could have sliced off into a nice sized portion. Spotting The Savory Gourmet, she seized my arm and said oh let's check them out! Oh how fun this shop is, we were greeted by the owner of the shop who offered us free red or white sangria, which he made himself and both were delicious, especially with the free cheese and cracker samples. The Savory Gourmet is a one of a kind, exotic gourmet food store and they only sell the very best that money can buy from around the world. If I was adventurous I would have a field day trying them all, all natural and farm raised, be it steaks, burgers, jerky, sausages, testicles or hot dogs, we are talking antelope, bison, black bear, alligator, rattlesnake, buffalo, kangaroo, elk, pheasant, Mallard duck, lamb, rabbit, wild boar, real Kobe beef, Piedmontese Italian Beef, ostrich, llama, yak, venison, quail, reindeer, python, silver salmon, caribou and more! The gourmet cheeses are just as tantalizing and mind boggling with the best of the best from across Europe and the United States. Here is where I was more than adventurous while sipping my sangria's and listening to our very knowledgeable owner answer all of our questions and offering us free samples. Boursalt Brie from the isle of France, the best Dutch gouda's, Bouche & Smethe from our own Lancaster county, the very best buttermilk bleu cheese which would be perfect on a burger, steak, salad or with pears, Irish porter cheddar, although the barely buzzed cheddar from Utah was my ultimate favorite, which is rubbed with Turkish coffee beans and lavender and has a buttery, almost butterscotch ending, this cheese has won countless first place awards, year after year. I don't remember if they sold ants, but they had plenty of crickets and grasshoppers for sale. The very best olive oils, honeys, vinegars, olives, jams, syrups, mustards, pasta and sauces. They carry gourmet ready made glazes, marinades and sauces to go along with your exotic meats and cheese, like roasted raspberry chipolte, blackberry wasabi, peaches and peppers and a mango-ginger habenero. Gourmet sweets that you may run into once or twice in your lifetime, Pennsylvania maple syrups, limonades and Pa. Dutch made potpie noodles. I did not get my pate', as the owner explained that it only sells well around the Christmas holiday, come on Lititz folks get with it, although he assured me that with ample notice he could have it for me on my next visit and I will hold him to this. They have special events periodically and the Oktoberfest sounds interesting with sausages, cheese, beer and wine, I may need to go here to celebrate. Remember the name, they are slated to be on various television channels in the near future, including the Travel Channels Bizarre Foods. I bought plenty of cheese to take home along with quite a few other interesting items, however I left the insects and exotic meats to try when I grow up. read more

Visited The Savory Gourmet on multiple occasions. A large variety of delicious products. Owners are fantastic and very passionate. They always take time to discuss their products and are never pushy. read more

I stumbled in by chance as I was walking through the beautiful downtown Lititz area. Such a great find! Terrific selection of exotic meats and goodies to bring home and a lovely woman who helped me. Owner popped out to say hi, and generously offered free ice packs to safely get my loot home. A successful example of a business that can't be Amazoned. Check it out. read more

Just discovered this fabulous shop while searching for my favorite Italian cheese, Moliterno Tarttufo! I was delighted to find an array of other fabulous cheeses to try!! While I personally don't eat meat, they also carry quite a variety of unique choices. Missy, the owner, was so personable and fun to chat with and share ideas! I've already been there twice within the week! read more

The only bad thing about the Savory Gourmet...the store is too small! Always end up spending waaaay more than I planned. John is a genius for always offering free cheese samples. That's how I end up spending more than I wanted. I'm a big fan of the Sartori Montamore and Merlot Bellavita. The Welsh Dragon cheese with mustard and the Humboldt Fog goat cheeses. They're all exquisite. If you have any questions about anything in the store John has the answers and always has good recipe tips. If you're every able to drop by during Lititz 2nd Friday, there's always a great selection of samples revolving around a theme and small doses of beer, wine or whiskey are thrown in for good measure. read more

My husband and I stopped in Lititz to check out the local Kombucha shop on our way home from an overnight in Lancaster and everyone told us to check out Savory Gourmet before we left! What a treat it was! The owners were so personable and friendly and wow did they keep the delicious cheese samples flowing! I wish we could have stayed longer but we left with some delicious cheese to share with family later that night! Definitely worth a stop! read more

This store is absolutely fantastic! My wife and I have gone here a few times and the owners are always so helpful and friendly. We have only had the cheese and Jerky products so we cant comment on the frozen meat that is available, however Im sure its just as great as everything else. I highly recommend this place, you wont be disapointed. read more

Ok place has some interesting selections of meat.Elk,Camel,alligator.... And some Coconut flavored Gouda cheese ok cute but the owner was kinda.....Well he looked annoyed by our presence.Then again I think it is a "Lankister thing" to be annoyed by anyone that is different.Was gonna buy some camel meat but didn't like his tone.I am a nice guy so 3 stars. read more

I passed through Lititz on the way to my uncle's just to visit this shop recommended by a friend. If you want quality, organic non-GMO fed meat this is the place to go! Everything is frozen so it lasted for the drive. Next time, I plan to fill our cooler. I have a local shop I usually buy organic meat from and these prices are just a tad higher. But you cannot get the more "exotic" meats just as yak and kangaroo anywhere else. Please don't get me started on the cheeses, if I would have had more samples I would have bought out the whole store. Also, great placement on the brownie brittle being right by the checkout. The Savory Gourmet knew I'd be weak and add that on to my purchase. Everyone behind the counter was super nice and helpful. I would give them 6 stars if I could. I definitely will work my route through downtown Lititz whenever I visit family and stock up our freezer! read more

I happened on this shop during a quick work trip and it was easily the highlight of my stay. The proprietors are warm and welcoming and the cheese selection is delicious! I didn't get too deep into the exotic meats selection (most is uncooked and I was without a kitchen) but I must have sampled 15 cheeses right there in the shop and left with three of the tastiest wedges in recent memory--a creamy, dreamy Humboldt Fog (drizzled with their salted bourbon goat's milk caramel!!!), a wine soaked goat from Holland and a butterscotchy sheep's milk ("Ewephoria") from Spain. The staff was knowledgeable and generous and the whole experience was top notch. I only wish they were closer to home! read more

I kept seeing ads and reviews of this shop in Lititz. I was looking for a nice cheese for my mom since Mother's Day is coming up. While the shop is small, the selection is vast the owners are super friendly and helpful. They don't have gluten free rice or risotto side dishes. But they had one gluten free pasta. I will go back for the different types of meats. read more

We love the Savory Gourmet! John and Michele have always been so friendly, helpful and fun! In recent years, I don't actually recall a trip to Lititz without stopping in to buy some favorite cheeses and have some yummy samples. I'll be there tomorrow with extended family ... we're looking forward to it! read more
