La Marotte is a semi-hard, uncooked, pressed tomme-style cheese made from raw ewe's milk in the Larzac region of France, in the Pyrenees mountains. It is typically produced by a small cooperative of 18 families, the Coopérative des Bergers du Larzac. The cheese has a dense, smooth, and sometimes slightly grainy texture. Its flavor is often described as nutty, earthy, and tangy, with hints of hazelnut and a potential subtle sweetness. As it ages, it can develop notes of pineapple. Its distinctive round shape, often cut in half, makes it suitable for use with a girolle, a cheese curling knife that produces delicate shavings. It pairs well with fruits, cured meats, or a glass of wine.
Rodolphe Le Meunier is known for sourcing exceptional, often little-known, artisanal cheeses and aging them to perfection in his own cellars, making his selection a mark of high quality.

Domenico and his team are fantastic. I’m a chef and I often get my supplies from The Cheese Store — unique products, carefully selected, from top Italian and French cheeses to excellent local ones.
Absolutely loved the cheese store! Everyone was super helpful and friendly. Lena helped us — she was very knowledgeable on all the cheeses: where they came from, what the region is like, what they are known for. It was like wine tasting for cheese.
Ordered several cheeses from them and the wrong items were delivered. Contacted the store and they recognized the error and immediately sent the correct order the next day without any fuss. Really appreciate the promptness and professionalism.
