Cheese Shop
Full-Service Cheese Shop in NJ
At Nicholas Markets, we believe every cheese wheel, wedge, log, block, and crumble should tell a story—not just sit on a shelf. As a family-owned specialty grocery store serving North and Central Jersey, we’ve spent over 80 years curating selections that turn everyday meals into something memorable. From freshly made hand-stretched mozzarella to bold imports and local treasures, you’re sure to find a cheese that exceeds your expectations.
Your Go-To NJ Destination for Artisanal Cheese
Unlike the shrink-wrapped blocks and pre-sliced packages sold at most big box grocery stores, our cheeses are hand-selected by our team who takes the time to understand what you’re serving and who you’re feeding. Whether you’re planning a weeknight pasta or hosting a holiday gathering, we’re here to help you choose the perfect wedge and offer pairing tips that will elevate your next meal.
Looking to build the perfect charcuterie spread? Pair your cheese with hand-sliced meats and gourmet accompaniments from our delicatessen.
Fresh Mozzarella Made In House
When you’re looking for the finest mozzarella in New Jersey, our in-house selection sets the standard. Made fresh daily using techniques passed down through generations, each pillowy ball is skillfully crafted and sold with the understanding that exceptional taste doesn’t have to come at an exaggerated price. Have a question about pairing or preparation? Ask one of our cheese experts today.
From sandwiches and salads to homemade pastas and antipasto boards, you’ll find that our fresh mozzarella is the kind of cheese that delivers flavor with every bite.
