How to Dress Like a Cheesemonger

If you’ve ever visited a cheese shop, you’ve likely noticed the stylish, practical outfits of cheesemongers. They’re dressed to impress (and handle cheese with finesse)! Whether you’re gearing up for your first day behind the counter, looking for the perfect gift for a cheese enthusiast, or simply want to channel your inner cheesemonger, this guide will help you dress the part.

1. Start with a Functional Apron

Cheesemongers rely on aprons to keep their clothes clean while slicing cheese or preparing charcuterie boards. The Antonelli’s Cheese Apron is a must-have. This durable black apron is embroidered with the Antonelli’s logo, making it a stylish and practical piece for cheese aficionados.

2. Stay Comfortable in a Branded T-Shirt

A great outfit starts with a comfortable base. The Antonelli’s Logo Tee is perfect for everyday wear. Its simple design and soft fabric ensure you’re always looking sharp while staying comfortable.

3. Sport a Stylish Cap

Every cheesemonger knows that a good hat isn’t just about style—it’s also about function. Keep hair out of the way and show off your love for cheese with the Antonelli’s Logo Cap. This sleek black cap is embroidered with the Antonelli’s logo, making it a chic addition to your cheesemonger ensemble.

4. Carry the Essentials

Cheesemongers are always on the go, whether they’re curating cheese boards, helping customers, or preparing for events. A good tote bag is essential for carrying supplies or snacks (like a wedge of your favorite cheese!). Check out the Antonelli’s Cheese Tote Bag, which is sturdy, spacious, and adorned with the Antonelli’s branding.

5. Layer Up with a Comfy Hoodie

Cheese shops can get chilly, especially when you’re working around refrigeration. A cozy hoodie is a great way to stay warm while staying on-brand. The Antonelli’s Logo Hoodie offers comfort and style, perfect for layering during colder months.

6. Finish with a Smile (and a Cheese Knife)

While dressing like a cheesemonger is important, the true hallmark of the profession is the attitude—friendly, approachable, and passionate about cheese. Pair your outfit with a great cheese knife or serving tool, like those available in-store at Antonelli’s Cheese, and you’re ready to slice and serve in style.
