An artisan cheese shop owned by a Lakewood couple is offering virtual classes and tastings in December.
Scardello Artisan Cheese, owned by Rich and Karen Rogers, has several events planned for neighbors next month.
The shop was started when grocery stores and markets could never satisfy Rich’s taste for new and interesting cheeses. He left a 15-year career in film and video production to open the store.
Scardello is named after Rich’s grandfather Pete Scardello.
