At Saxelby Cheesemongers, we're proud to provide cheese to some of New York's most acclaimed restaurants. Over the years, Saxelby has become known for our expertise in sourcing delicious and hard-to-find American artisan and farmstead cheese, and delivering it at the peak of ripeness and flavor. Our chefs are our most discerning customers, and we work hard to provide them with the best cheese and dairy we can get our hands on!
Bâtard
Bâtard opened in 2015 to much acclaim - it was awarded 'Best New Restaurant' at that year's James Beard Awards. Bâtard's cheese service is old-fashioned, French in inspiration (they have a real cheese cart!) and absolutely phenomenal. Managing Partner John Winterman's passion for cheese made Saxelby Cheesemongers a logical choice as purveyor/partner in crime for their cheese program.
"Anne Saxelby curates a dedication to the art of cheese much like a proud coach shows off their prodigy athletes. When you sit with Anne to taste through the product, she will show only the cheese that has reached its peak potential. She is full of humility, surprises and knowledge and she will present her selections with a barely contained glee. Most people have off days; Anne seems to never have an off-moment."

Daniel
Daniel is one of New York's most elegant dining destinations, and Daniel Boulud is one of the greatest chefs in America. Saxelby Cheesemongers has worked with Restaurant Daniel to provide top-quality cheeses for their elaborate cheese cart for many years. When Boulud opened his Épicerie Boulud in 2011, he turned to Saxelby Cheesemongers to curate the selection for the shop.
"In New York City, Anne is a true fromagère like in France. She personally selects the farms she is working with in order to offer the most unique and tasteful cheeses. Having spent time in France with many cheesemongers, she brings her knowledge, passion, care and love to restaurants, food professionals and consumers in America."
