Since its 2018 opening, Cold Spring Cheese Shop has been committed to celebrating the quality and breadth of offerings from artisanal cheese makers and dairy producers in Hudson Valley and greater Northeast.
The Main Street shop was founded by cheese-obsessed theater director Timothy Haskell and his wife Rebeca Ramirez, whose passion transformed the small Main Street space into a warm, welcoming emporium where customers can discover and support artisanal dairy farms, such as Chaseholm Farm in Pine Plains, Four Fat Fowl in Stephentown, and Nettle Meadow Farm in Luzerne.
In addition to a rotating selection of cheese, the shop also offers all manner of locally made sundries, including butter, yogurt, jams, honey, charcuterie, and fresh-baked bread, as well as breakfast and lunch sandwiches, gift baskets, and party-ready charcuterie boards.
In February, Haskell and Ramirez announced that Cold Spring Cheese Shop would be under new ownership. Taking the helm are Newburgh residents Caroline Sansone, a media professional who worked for Haskell's productions in New York City and her husband Scott McGibney, who owns the Brooklyn coffee shop Wyckoff Star, and Erin Browning, a restaurant industry professional trained in Michelin-starred establishments. A few new changes that shoppers can look forward to include online ordering and local catering.
"When Tim and Rebeca popped up in my life again, it was kismet," says Sansone. "The shop is their vision and our goal is to maintain and support that, while adding a little sparkle on top."
