It was actually something my husband had come across while planning our visit, and we're so glad we made the stop. It was a hot afternoon, so pairing the cheese tasting with a cold beer and a hard apple cider felt like the perfect choice. You purchase your tasting tickets at the counter along with your drinks and then head to one of their tasting areas. We sampled 12 different cheeses while our hostess walked us through each one, explaining how it was made and the best ways to enjoy it. Every cheese was delicious, but our favorite was the Red Rider, which had just the right amount of heat. One thing we really enjoyed was that you can buy your favorite cheeses along with crackers and condiments, and they'll provide a cheese board and knife so you can put together your own lunch. We picked red rider cheese block, ordered another round of drinks, and spent an hour enjoying our own little cheese board. The property is beautiful, with plenty of Adirondack chairs overlooking a large open lawn. It was simply too hot for us to sit outside, so we stayed indoors, but I can imagine how lovely it would be on a cooler day. I also discovered a mustard-based condiment during the tasting that I loved so much I ended up buying five jars to take home as gifts for family and friends. If you're visiting the Finger Lakes, Muranda Cheese Company is absolutely worth the stop. Between the guided tasting, the beautiful setting, and the opportunity to build your own cheese board, it makes for a fun and memorable experience.

My husband and I visited Muranda Cheese Company last week when we were in the Finger Lakes for the…read moreFourth of July. We had such a fun time. I was dying to visit, because they offer cheese tastings, so I'll start my review by describing that experience! You walk up to the bar, tell them you want to do a cheese tasting, and they had you a ticket. Then you can walk to one of their two tasting areas (you'll see long tables with staff on one side and customers on the other, with lots of cloches with cheese under them) and get started on your tasting. You get to try 12 cheeses, and they give you a little tasting sheeting so you can rate and take notes on the cheeses. It only takes a few minutes, but it was fun and a great way to learn about their cheeses. If you're not into a cheese tasting or if you want more than just the tasting, they offer charcuterie boards, Finger Lakes wine, wine slushies, beers, cider, and non-alcoholic drinks. You can also buy a block of cheese and eat that, too! I did the cheese tasting (fun - and I liked most of the cheeses), and we shared a wine slushie as well. We arrived pretty close their closing time, but I was glad we had time to experience what Muranda has to offer! They have a shop in the back, where they sell their cheeses, wines, pottery, and other Finger Lakes products. There's also an amazing patio off the shop, with gorgeous views, rocking chairs, and tables. They host live music at this really cool stage above the bar. So you can eat cheese, have a drink, and listen to some live music in a beautiful barn? Sold. It's a fun time. And I recommend it between wine tastings or other activities you get up to in the Finger Lakes!

The star for me was the roasted garlic cheese spread and while I bought one, I would have bought even more since I devoured it in 2 sittings. Inside the shop is extremely tight with a couple tables and a restroom but lots of seating outside on the farm. They had a small orchard and some cows to go greet as well. Overall, definitely recommend for a true foodie experience.

Went here for the first time, with my mother. It's a bit of a drive for us coming from Hector, but…read moreit's an easy pretty drive. We ate at their cafe. We both had a cup of Potato and Ham soup, and split a BLT. It was delicious, very fresh. Not skimpy on the bacon...at all. The sandwich was perfectly distributed. Much larger than I anticipated. Made with their local bacon and tomatoes. Loved the atmosphere, the cafe had a cozy vibe. We were seated next to the gas fireplace. We had enough privacy to talk, noise level was normal. Order your food at the counter, collect your condiments, napkins, and Salt pepper shakers at long counter. Then sit down and enjoy yourself, until they bring it out. Service was very quick. After we cleaned up our plates and table. They have a place for you to put your dirty dishes and cups, along with trash, and recycling. Then we went into the bulk grocery part to look around. We both ended up buying sweet treats for later. I bought a cherry fry pie. It was super fresh and tasty. I enjoyed it with my evening herbal tea. I also bought some rice and a few other staples. I will definitely be back for a 2nd trip. They have a lot going on. The place was super clean. Items easy to find. It's not all bulk, they have their items from small to bulk, so if you are in a 1 or 2 person household, do not let the bulk in their name scare you off. It's worth a trip, for some organic homemade items.

Just a friendly reminder that this is a farm, long sleeves and pants are probably best (not at all what I had on) and as long as you're willing to get down there and dirty with the cows in the hay, you'll have a great time.

My son was contaminated with milk by Sunset View Creamery recently and started with fever, chills,…read morehigh temperature, diarrhea, and nausea illness Sept 6, 2023. He was diagnosed the following day or so with having CamphlobCampylobacteracter in his stool and the health department was notified of the likely contamination after he drank milk from Sunset Creamery. Subsequently, during a routine milk inspection, Campylobacter contamination was found. The department notified Sunset View Creamery about the preliminary test results on Sept. 12, and further testing confirmed the presence of the campylobacter again on Sept. 18, 2023. Campylobacteriosis can cause lasting complications, including irritable bowel syndrome, arthritis, and temporary paralysis. People with compromised immune systems could develop a life-threatening infection if the bacteria spreads to the bloodstream.

So I was headed to Buffalo by car from NYC and while visiting a rest area I noticed this pink…read moredrink, it was strawberry milk. I was like that's kinda odd, strawberry and chocolate milk in a stand alone fridge? I ended up buying the strawberry milk and Holy Moses, this was the easily the best strawberry milk I ever had. I also noticed it was pretty expensive, it was a small container for around $4.50 but I bought it anyway and wow was it worth a buy. It was so good, it was so good it actually made me make my way to their actual farm and take god their milk was cheaper at the farm. I also asked since I noticed the employees were wearing very distinct clothing if they were Amish? The employee said it was similar but they were Mennonites. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=Y_iTTjKvV5hLy-880SZzlA&select=FJpVePPXalf0iGdM0UXSng The food: Strawberry Milk- This is a must get item. It was $5.75 for a half gallon. I loved the strawberry flavor of the milk and I love the creamy texture of the milk. Chocolate Milk- I think this was a great chocolate milk but not as distinctive as the strawberry milk. Strawberry Ice Cream- This very similar to the strawberry milk, but not as rich a creamy as the milk. I enjoyed this but the milk is my favorite item.

I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area!

When we've been here there has typically only been one person working, but it's never been a big deal because all the staff does is prepare the cheese tasting and then there is seating outside and upstairs. The ambiance is fine... it's never been too busy or loud when we've been here. Definitely a cool spot to stop if you like goats and goat cheese!

I am absolutely thrilled that I found this place on Yelp while I was looking for a cheese shop…read more With a friend's birthday coming up I offered to make a charcuterie platter and fortunately we were in Rochester the day before. Coming in we weren't sure what to expect, not many photos on Yelp but based off their website I sent a text to confirm they were open for in-store shopping with only 30 mins to spare. Even this last in the day they had a small line in front of us and a few people lined up behind us. The staff was incredibly friendly with us, being newbies, asking questions about the cheese and the amount to purchase. Even though I tried to study the white board of cheeses I quickly got overwhelmed (and maybe salivating under my mask) at all the amazing choices. In the end we settled for 6 cheeses, 3 containers of olives, pork cheek and prosciutto with a few breaded and stuffed olives all for under $40!?!?!?! I didn't argue the price as I was dumbfounded, excited and still salivating, anxiously waiting to get back to the car the sample things. Everything was incredible! I've never had such good prosciutto, the Alphonao olives (soaked in Chilian red wine), the Caramelized Onion cheese, the black pepper cheese, the truffle cheddar..... man oh man it was all amazing. I highly recommend a visit here!

I consider all the shops along this little stretch to be part of the Rochester Public Market. I'm…read morenot sure if that's accurate, but they are part of my experience with the market, and I love them all. Giordano is one of the best of the bunch, as they have all the cheese you'd ever want...and I want a lot of cheese. I want the funky bleu, the creamy brie, the sharpest cheddar you can find, the chevre, whatever you can find from a sheep, certainly including manchego, and all the olives they have in stock too. I want the cheeses with fun additions like truffles and pepper and meat and I also want the meat that hasn't been added to the cheese, because meat is good on its own too. All that said, the last time I came in I felt like I was bothering the staff there. I got curt, annoyed answers when I was curious about a cheese I wasn't familiar with, and we ended up leaving with about 25% of the amount of cheese I wanted to buy just because it's not fun to put together a cheese plate with people who aren't trying to help you. I hope it was an off day, because I'll be back again soon. After all, I have a cheese problem.
