Our Hyde Park Retail Shop, Hyde Park Tasting Room, Hyde Park Tray Pickup Window, South Lamar Tasting Room, and South Lamar Tray Pickup are open to the public. Please check our current hours before visiting.

Our hours and holiday schedules can change throughout the year. Please check our current hours before visiting, or contact us at 512-531-9610 if you would like help planning your visit.

Antonelli's locations have accessibility accommodations, while some Hyde Park spaces are historic and physically constrained. South Lamar is our most accessible tasting room, with nearby accessible parking and an adjustable dining-height table.

Hyde Park Cheese House has a ramp and accessible parking on the north side, with a dining-height table available in the annex by advance request. Hyde Park Cheese Shop is accessible from the north/alley side via a ramp walkway. The interior is compact, and staff can help create space or provide a stool.

Standard services are provided in English. Some team members may be bilingual or multilingual. Occasionally Antonelli's may host a specifically labeled event in Spanish or with an ASL interpreter, but those services are not available at every event. Guests with accessibility concerns should contact the support team so Antonelli's can discuss accommodations.

Pickup instructions depend on the location selected with your order. Please follow the pickup details in your order confirmation. If you have any questions, contact us at 512-531-9610 or info@antonellischeese.com.

We do not currently offer individual fresh-cut cheeses for online ordering. For local pickup, we recommend choosing from our cheese and charcuterie trays or our curated gift boxes and bundles. Both are great ways to enjoy a selection of Antonelli's favorites without having to choose individual cheese cuts.

Local delivery may be available for eligible orders in the greater Austin area. Available delivery options, dates, windows, and fees will be shown during checkout when applicable.

Returns are circumstance-specific. Customers with a concern should contact the team at 512-531-9610 or info@antonellischeese.com.

We have an Events Catalog that outlines our current private event offerings.

For cheese and charcuterie trays, you can view our current Tray offerings. Trays are available for local pickup or local delivery.

Our Antonelli's Cheese Signature Box can be ordered for pickup, local delivery, or shipping.

We do not maintain a catalog of the specific cheeses available in our Retail Shop because our selection changes regularly based on seasonality and availability.

Antonelli's is a small team and may have limited openings. Please visit our current employment page to see available positions. Openings change throughout the year, so the website is the best place to find our current opportunities.

Potential vendors and suppliers should begin by completing our New Product Submission Form. Our team will review the information and contact you if we would like to learn more or request samples. Please do not send samples unless our team requests them.

We love supporting our community and receive many donation requests throughout the year. You can learn more about our approach to giving on our Philanthropy page.

If your organization would like to be considered for our Charitable Cheese Cause, please submit your information through that application.

For other donation requests, including support for fundraisers and events, please complete our Donation Request Form.

Because we are a small business, we are not able to accommodate every request, but we appreciate you thinking of Antonelli's Cheese.

Yes. We typically carry a small selection of shirts in our Retail Shop, including our Antonelli's logo shirt and seasonal designs.

You can also shop a broader selection of Antonelli's merchandise online. Online merchandise is produced and shipped by a third-party fulfillment partner.

Wholesale customers purchasing specialty cheese through Antonelli's may request permission to use the Antonelli's name and/or logo on their menu.

Antonelli's cuts cheese to order to preserve freshness and flavor, reduce waste, and let guests buy only the amount they need. Customers may purchase small or large quantities rather than fixed pre-cut sizes. Cheesemongers can help recommend an amount.

Antonelli's carries a rotating selection of domestic and imported artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, craft beer, boutique wine by the bottle, and pairings such as chocolates, nuts, preserves, honey, vinegars/oils, olives, and fresh bread. The shop may also carry serving boards and cheese knives.

Our selection is team-driven and informed by product tastings, producer relationships, customer fit, and the expertise of our cheesemongers and certified cheese professionals. We look for cheeses, charcuterie, pairings, and specialty foods that tell a great producer story, represent quality craftsmanship, and align with our mission: “Do Good. Eat Good.”

Our selection evolves throughout the year as products, seasons, and availability change.

We sell whole wheels and offer a 20% whole-wheel discount. Availability varies, and exceptions may apply to scarce or seasonal cheeses such as Rogue River Blue. Wholesale customers can order through our wholesale ordering site.

No. Antonelli's cuts cheese to order and encourages customers to buy the amount they expect to use, framed as roughly a 7–10 day supply. Customers can call 512-531-9610 for help estimating quantities.

A specialty cheese shop emphasizes quality, expertise, service, product care, and a passion for cheese. Antonelli's focuses on sourcing quality cheese, serving it at its best, and offering products related to cheese as pairings, serving tools, or gifts.

A cheesemonger is a cheese seller and specialist who learns product care, flavor, history, and producer stories, then helps customers understand and enjoy cheese.

Antonelli's uses seven practical style categories: Fresh; Soft-Ripened/Bloomy Rind; Washed Rind; Semi-Soft; Firm; Hard; and Blue. The categories are a useful internal/customer framework rather than a universally definitive classification system.

Cheese flavor varies greatly with breed, diet, season, aging, and terroir. Antonelli's broadly describes cow's milk cheeses as diverse and often buttery, grassy, or sweet; goat's milk cheeses as often tangy or acidic; sheep's milk cheeses as often rich, nutty, or oily; and water-buffalo cheeses as often lactic with wet-hay notes. Treat these as broad tasting tendencies, not guarantees.

Antonelli's uses “artisanal” to describe cheeses involving meaningful human craft and adaptation, with traceability to the cheesemaker and milk source. We use the term to describe the role of craft and traceability, not as a judgment that all industrial production is inherently bad.

Antonelli's defines farmstead cheese as cheese made on a farm that also raises and cares for the animals producing the milk, often allowing the milk to be used close to where it is produced.

Many natural cheese rinds can be enjoyed, and Antonelli's encourages customers to taste the rind when appropriate because it can contribute to the cheese experience. Some rinds may not add desirable flavor or texture.

Antonelli's sells raw-milk cheeses. Raw milk cheeses sold in the United States are subject to federal aging and safety requirements. Our selection changes regularly, so please ask a cheesemonger if you are looking for raw milk options.

Antonelli's does not provide pregnancy-specific medical guidance and directs customers to their doctor regarding which dairy products are appropriate.

Lactose generally decreases during cheesemaking and aging, which is why some people with lactose intolerance may tolerate firmer, aged cheeses differently. Individual tolerance varies, so please consult your medical provider for guidance specific to you.

We do not currently sell vegan cheese or non-dairy cheese alternatives. For events, a vegan plate may be requested in advance. Please note that the vegan plate does not include vegan “cheese.”

A great cheese board usually starts with 3–5 cheeses with a mix of milk types, styles, and textures, plus accompaniments that bring in salty, sweet, bitter, sour, and umami flavors. Suggested presentation styles include spacious or negative-space arrangements, color-blocked layouts, or more abstract presentations.

For more tips, ideas, and step-by-step guidance, check out our How to Build a Perfect Cheese Board guide.

For best flavor, Antonelli's generally recommends letting cheese warm from refrigerator temperature for about 45–60 minutes in a moderate room, around 65°F, using separate knives for different cheeses, and pre-slicing the first piece or two of a large wedge to guide guests.

Encourage customers to have fun with pairing. Classic options include fresh fruit, nuts, olives, preserves, and honey; more adventurous options include savory preserves, chocolate, mustard-based condiments, and charcuterie. Beverage pairings may include wine, beer, tea, coffee, soda, or other drinks depending on the cheese.

Sparkling wines and other bubbly drinks can be especially cheese-friendly; examples include Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, Txakolina, Lambrusco, beer, sparkling water, and sparkling cocktails/mocktails. We often favor structured whites without excessive sweetness, such as Pecorino, Chenin Blanc, and Grüner Veltliner; rosé with moderate acidity or light sweetness; and lighter reds with lower tannin, such as Pinot Noir and Mourvèdre. Big tannic reds can be less cheese-friendly; suggested alternatives include Montepulciano, Carmenère, and Syrah.

Antonelli's generally recommends buying what will be eaten within about a week. Suggested storage methods include reusing breathable cheese paper; a container with controlled humidity and periodic fresh air; or wax paper/aluminum foil, especially for blue cheese, with loose outer plastic so plastic does not directly contact the cheese.

Cheese can tolerate some time out of refrigeration but may develop texture or flavor changes, and we strongly recommend refrigeration in hot Texas conditions. We also emphasize buying modest quantities for freshness.

Antonelli's recommends buying cut cheese in quantities intended to be enjoyed within about a week for best quality. For unopened cryovac products or whole wheels with manufacturer dating, follow the date and instructions on the package.

Antonelli's carries a broad curated charcuterie selection from multiple artisan producers, including familiar and unusual cured meats. Products may be available as whole salami sticks or sliced whole-muscle meats.

Yes. We carry fresh bread from Texas French Bread. Baguettes are delivered daily, and we also use a sourdough loaf for our raclette experiences.

Antonelli's carries a curated selection of tinned seafood that may include sardines, anchovies, calamari, octopus, and similar products.

We offer gluten-free crackers at events. Please note that our facility is not gluten-free.

Guests should list all allergens in the booking notes so our team can plan in advance and discuss available accommodations.

Public events are curated around the event topic, so Antonelli's does not generally offer cheese substitutions or special cheese requests. Private-event requests can be considered, and our team will try to accommodate where appropriate.

For our cheese and charcuterie trays, selections are also curated rather than fully customizable. You may request that we avoid a particular cheese or style, such as “no blue cheese,” or request a substitution. Depending on the time of year and product availability, we may or may not be able to accommodate your request.

Popular classes and events include roughly a half-pound of cheese plus pairings, bread, and other items, and guests often feel full afterward.

Public cheese classes in Antonelli's Tasting Rooms are not BYOB and outside beverages are not permitted. Wine, beer, and non-alcoholic options may be available for purchase.

The selected pickup window is used to plan production, so an order is not guaranteed ready before the scheduled pickup time. Late pickup can generally be accommodated. Customers needing a different time should contact the pickup location. We recommend choosing pickup about 1–2 hours before serving so the items have time to come closer to room temperature.

Tray cancellation requests must be made the day before the scheduled pickup or delivery. Please email info@antonellischeese.com or call 512-531-9610 to request a cancellation. Approved cancellations are refunded to the original payment method.

Prepared cheese trays are not shipped because they are designed as ready-to-eat presentations and do not hold up to parcel shipping. Please visit Antonelli's current shippable gift/product offerings instead.
