I am a fan of the cheese counter at the Rittenhouse Square Di Bruno Bros. store. It offers just as many cheese options as its South Philly counterpart, but without the frenzy or crush of customers (although, if you’ve never been to the original location in the Italian Market, get down there. It is a not-to-be-missed, authentic Philadelphia experience).

I discovered something over the weekend that endeared the Di Bruno cheese counter to me even further. On the counter, tucked in among the samples and limited edition cheeses, there is a unassuming 4 x 6 sized, notecard file box. Customers are encouraged to open it up, grab a card and record their favorite cheese purchases.

Filed alphabetically, your card will be there to remind you which cheeses you’ve sampled and which you liked enough to take home. You can record your likes and dislikes, as well as make note of that rinsed rind cheese you’ve been meaning to try, but has already been priced out of the June food budget (if anyone is looking for a new blue to try, I’m currently devoted to the Jasper Hill Bayley Hazen Blue).

Go forth and eat cheese!
