FAIRHOPE — The Fairhope Cheese Post delivers a curated selection of artisanal cheeses right to your doorstep.

The venture was started by Mallory Scyphers, who also works as the editor-in-chief and creative director of Culture magazine. Originally from Ozark, she previously lived in Boston, Massachusetts, where she had access to different cheeses and cheese shops, before moving to Fairhope after her husband got a job at the University of South Alabama.

Noting the lack of cheese options in the South Alabama region, Scyphers saw it as an opportunity for a new business.

Describing her business as a “mobile cheese monger,” The Fairhope Cheese Post is a subscription cheese delivery service, in which each delivery includes three handpicked artisanal cheeses, accompanied by a box of crackers and other items chosen to work with the cheese such as cured meat or a fruit preserve. They are packed into a cooler bag with instructions detailing each cheese and recommendations on what to pair it with. Scyphers delivers them to customers within Mobile and Baldwin counties on the first week of every month.

Scyphers said the cheese comes either directly from the makers, having several connections with them, or from larger distributors. Each delivery isn’t just your typical three cheddars. Customers will receive cheeses such as a bloomy rind cheese, an aged cheese or a blue cheese. She said she is currently gathering data on what people like, as the South has many different people with different taste palates.

“I think the biggest thing is that this is a service for folks who want to learn more about cheese,” Scyphers said. “It’s not necessarily a charcuterie board business, though that’s super useful and I want to build that and grow that part of it, but it is learning about new cheeses that you might not be able to get from a grocery store.”

Having started around a month ago, Scyphers said she hopes to expand the business, including catering and even pairing classes, where people can learn about cheese and pairing cheeses with things like wine and beer, teasing that she is working on hosting a cheese and beer pop-up event at Fairhope Brewing Company in June, where people can pair different cheeses with a flight of beer.
