A Matter of Taste

“We didn’t know we were entering the cheese business,” says Lisa Ferraro-Klinge, yet that’s what happened when she and her husband, Stephen Klinge, opened Taste Artisanal Market a few months ago.

A ready-made base of international customers, including a large number of students and professors from nearby University of Delaware, has caused the cheese counter to explode, Ferraro-Klinge says. At peak times of year, you’ll find 100 cheeses from around the world.

There’s a heavy emphasis on artisanal products sourced at special conventions and from “cheesemongers we’ve learned to trust.” And the couple is building the market’s offering of good local varieties.

Taste also offers an equally impressive variety of charcuterie from around the world. Its shelves are packed with imported grocery items and a wide variety of preserves, cookies, biscuits and crackers. Prepared foods made from Ferraro-Klinge’s recipes and locally sourced ingredients are ready for those who need to eat on the fly. tasteartisanalmarket.com —Mark Nardone
