Why Work at Antonelli’s? Because Cheese Makes People Happy!

At Antonelli’s Cheese Shop, we believe every bite of cheese should come with a side of joy—and that’s exactly what we’re here to spread! Founded in 2010 by John and Kendall Antonelli, we’ve grown from a cozy neighborhood shop into a full-on cheese wonderland. We host tastings and events at our Cheese House, ship curated cheese selections nationwide, and bring the best artisan cheese and meats to tables across Texas. Our team is passionate, positive, and ready to make someone’s day better—one wedge at a time.

  • Can speak with a loud, clear voice that commands attention and sets the tone for fun and excitement?
  • Is ready to be part of a team that works hard, laughs harder, and eats plenty of cheese?

If you’re nodding your head “yes,” keep reading… because you might be our next Friendly Neighborhood Cheesemonger!

What’s a Cheesemonger, Anyway?

A cheesemonger is like your local cheese superhero. Part storyteller, part culinary matchmaker, you’ll guide customers through the wonderful world of cheese—helping them find their new favorite flavors, pairings, and recipes. Cheesemongers don’t just know cheese; they live it, breathe it, and (of course) eat it! At Antonelli’s, you’ll be the face of our shop, building connections and making people smile every day.

What You’ll Do

  • Be the Ultimate Host: Greet customers with a smile and make everyone feel like family.
  • Talk Cheese (a Lot): Share fun facts, tasting notes, and pairing tips with customers.
  • Keep It Fresh: Ensure our cheeses are stored, displayed, and handled perfectly.
  • Learn & Grow: Dive into cheese education with tastings, farm visits, and training.
  • Spread the Joy: Help customers plan epic cheese boards, find the perfect pairing, and discover new favorites.

What We’re Looking For:

  • Hospitality Heroes: You’re outgoing, approachable, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people.
  • Team Players: You thrive in a supportive, collaborative environment where everyone pitches in.
  • Curious Foodies: You don’t need to know everything about cheese… yet! We’ll teach you, as long as you’re eager to learn.
  • Go-Getters: You’re energetic, proactive, and ready to roll up your sleeves.
  • Availability: We’re looking for someone who can work 20-30 hours per week, bringing your high energy and enthusiasm to every shift.  Weekend availability is a must.  
  • Cheese Lovers: Obviously. (Bonus points if you already have a favorite cheese!)

Why You’ll Love This Job

  • Cheese Perks: You’ll get to taste and learn about amazing artisan cheeses and products every day.
  • Cheese Community: Join an industry that feels more like a family. We’ve got each other’s backs and love what we do.
  • Cheese Adventures: Attend tastings, visit local farms, and meet the makers behind the cheese.
  • Cheese Impact: Be part of a company that values joy, connection, and making a difference.

Our Core Values

We’re serious about cheese, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously. At Antonelli’s, we live by these values:

  • Do Good. Eat Good. Passion fuels us, and purpose drives us.
  • Be a Juggernaut of Awesome. Radiate positivity and go above and beyond for others.
  • Be True. Be yourself, and respect others for who they are.
  • Family First, Then Business. Take care of what matters most.
  • Improve Every Day. Learn, grow, and keep striving for better.
