Help support your favorite local monger!

Eli Iturrieta, (Cowbell Portland), is heading to NYC next week to attend and compete at the CheeseMonger Invitational (CMI)!

CMI is the ultimate celebration of cheese—a truly unique event that unites industry insiders, passionate cheesemongers, and cheese enthusiasts for an unforgettable experience. Often hailed as the "Olympics of Cheesemongering," CMI showcases the finest cheesemongers in the field. It’s three days of education followed by a cheesemonger competition.

This is an amazing opportunity that they’re so excited to be a part of! However, NY is a spendy city and they’ll be missing a week of work, which is why we’re here.

If Eli’s ever made you a cheese plate, fed you, or if you’ve ever seen how excited they get about cheese, now is the time to show them how much you appreciate them!

Please help support this trip if you can!

Thank you from the bottom of our cheesy hearts xoxo
