Olives were great as well!

The selection was incredible, from fresh cheeses and cured meats to freshly made pasta and olive oils. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions, even for a first-time visitor trying to take it all in. It's really hard to leave the store empty-handed. My only question is: why do they close at 4:00 PM? I found myself wishing I had more time to browse, and it seems like many people who work traditional hours might miss out on visiting during the week. That said, the early closing time won't stop me from coming back. At the next visit, I will be sure to take pictures.

We were so excited when Curds & Mold opened,…read moreand were absolutely in love with the wide selection available - shopping there often and sometimes making special trips just to purchase cheese from this location. However, this evening my father drove out of his way to purchase cheese here, arriving at 5:15pm - 45 minutes before the shop closes. When he got there and walked inside to make his purchase, he was turned away because (in spite of the door being unlocked and there being no signage on the door) they were having a private party. He was immensely frustrated and we're so disappointed in how poorly this situation was handled - they could have at least allowed him to make his purchase after driving 30 minutes out of his way to shop there. I will not be shopping here in the future, and find it very unfortunate that a business with such potential suffers from horrible customer service.

I got to try their cheddar potato pierogies as well as a chocolate wafer, apricot drink, and kvas from the store part. The pierogies were great. Warm and fluffy on the inside. Filled to the brim with potato and cheese. A bit oily, though. Good amount of onion on top without being overwhelming, and a solid price for the portion. Definitely delicious. And, all the items from the store were great too. The wafer was pretty basic for the price, but still good. Great apricot drink, super refreshing. And the kvas...I missed this a lot. So good, great price honestly. All in all, definitely stop by if you are in the Strip District!

On our recent Food Tour of the Strip District, our first stop was at Parma Sausage Products. We tried the Lon Zetta, Rustico, and Hot Sopressata. You could taste the subtle flavorings and the meat was such a smooth bite! Hearing the history of this family owned business was the best - with photos across the walls celebrating the rich traditions! The meats are still made on site with the small quality and heritage of the past generations! The current owner was happy to share his stories and ready to answer any questions we had. We all walked out with additional purchases to level up our charcuteries and sandwiches. I purchased the Bourbon Salami for $8. The prices are ridiculously good - especially because you are buying it right from the source! Make sure to stop in to Parma during your next visit to the Strip District!
