Righteous Cheese, located in Union Market, features more than 80 different artisan cheeses from more than 20 local and overseas vendors. The shop is well-known for their unique cheeses as well as their wine and cheese pairing classes.

Founder and Owner Carolyn Stromberg discovered her love for the food industry after working at a restaurant during her time as a student at GW. Since then, she has become a cheese expert.

“The biggest thing that we try to give to the people who come to our shop is a way to figure out what they’re really looking for and make it easy to like,” Stromberg said.
