Some people say it’s the best email they get all week. Who doesn’t want to see glorious pictures of cheese on a Friday afternoon? Plus, now you can reserve any cheese from any market by using our Hold The Mold email program. So… what are you waiting for?

Cheese Classes & Events
Smallgoods brings a wealth of knowledge, sincerity and amazing American cheeses and interesting stories to every event. Our past and ongoing events include: cheese education classes, wine and cheese pairings, beer and cheese pairings and even large-scale festivals. Our clients range from wine bars to breweries, outdoor events, private corporations and retail establishments.
We will work with you beforehand to plan out the event. This usually involves a tasting or two where we bring in cheese samples and work with you and your team to match the products and script-out a dialogue for the event. Depending on the scope of the event, we bring handouts for your customers or arrange for take-home gift bags of the cheeses that we bring. The day of the event, we’ll show up early to make sure that everything is plated correctly and ready to go and review the plan in detail. Jenny is a American Cheese Society Certified Cheese Professional (ACS CCP®). She typically takes charge of the event and leads you through the pairing alongside your specialist who talks about your specific offerings. The average event lasts 2 hours. They’re fun. We don’t approach things too seriously so everyone has a great time and learns a thing or two in the process.

Retail Sales
Find us at the Little Italy Mercado –Saturday’s 8-2, the La Jolla Open Aire Market –Sunday’s 9-2 and the Sunday Hillcrest market – 9-2. It’s best to come early because most of our weekly offerings are sourced in very limited quantities and tend to sell out.
We take great pride in nurturing our relationships with American cheese makers. It seems like every day we find out about something or learn something new that we get excited to bring to the markets. In many cases, our cheeses are ‘first timers’ to Southern California.
Catering
We have a San Diego catering license. Whether it be a giant 4000+ attendance event or an intimate party for your best clients, we’re determined to raise the culinary bar and have your clients and guests raving about the event for weeks after. We’ve all been invited to events only to see cubed, dry, nondescript, poorly presented mystery cheese on those tacky, black plastic tray. Seriously – those days need to be over!
Give us a shot and see why our customers come back for more and more. And it’s not just cheese; we can step up your charcuterie game like you’ve never seen. You’ll impress your party goers and have a great conversation starter too.
Past clients: The Lodge at Torrey Pines, Apple Computers, O’Gara Coach, Lars Remodeling, Mission Brewery, Green Flash, San Pasqual Winery, Benovia Winery, The Rose Wine Bar, Flight Path Wine Bar, Council Brewery, 2Kids Brewing, LJ Crafted Wines, Seaport Oils, Setting Sun Sake and more.
