NORTHSHOREMAG.COM 24 MARCH 2019 Slipping into e Cheese Shop of Salem on a brisk and bright late winter afternoon, I spot owner and cheesemonger Peter Endi- cott wearing the hat that has earned him the nickname Il Capo. He is smiling, chatting, and slicing samples of cheese as customers move about the shop, which is cozy yet spacious and tremendously inviting. While both Endicott and cheese buyer Brie Hurd have a soft spot for New Left, Wine sales associate Molly Borgeson and owner Peter Endicott. Shown here, A crock of The Cheese Shop of Salem's top seller, "Aussie Magic." It's a blend of goat and sheep's milk, formed into soft squares, and drenched in garlic-infused olive oil, fresh herbs, and peppercorns, delivered fresh from Meredith Dairy in Australia. WINE AND CHEESE A cheesemonger in Salem carries small-production wines focused on organic and biodynamic winemaking. BY PAIGE FARRELL England, the shop is also home to a marvelous variety of cheeses from all over the world, as well as a sensorial feast of cured meats, specialty accompaniments, beer, digestifs, and aperitifs. And then there are the wines, a splendor- ous selection of 350 beautifully labeled small- production global varieties focused on organic and biodynamic winemaking—wines made as naturally as possible, with integrity and care.
