Rind Cheese Shop

Gourmet cheese and charcuterie

 

What it is:

A small-but-mighty family-owned artisanal cheese and gourmet foods shop.

 

Where to find it:

On Bosworth Street, the road that’s adjacent to Shaw’s plaza, where County and Rumstick roads merge, look for Rind inside a small shopping plaza.

 

What makes it a Rhody Gem?

You’ll find a delicious assortment of thoughtfully curated cheeses, charcuterie, and pantry goods from Europe and the US, complemented by a variety of in-house treats such as pimento cheese, hummus, and mac and cheese. “Our goal is to offer great food without making it feel intimidating,” says co-owner Ashley LaPlante, who, with her co-owner husband Tim Fichers, has more than 20 years of experience in the restaurant industry. “We love helping people discover new favorites – whether that’s a classic cheese, something a little more adventurous, or the perfect pairing for a gathering,” she says. The couple has a practical, yet philosophical, approach to their offerings. “Cheese has a rind to protect it from the elements, but it also imparts its own unique characteristics,” LaPlante says. “And that can make all the difference to how your guests enjoy it. At Rind, it’s all about that uniqueness… a pretty perfect name for a cheese shop.”
