About Us
A cheese education and media site rooted in Pagosa Springs, Colorado — serving curious palates across the Western Slope and Four Corners.
Pagosa Cheesemongers grew out of a simple observation: great cheese culture exists in small mountain towns, but the content rarely reflects it. The Western Slope and Four Corners region has curious eaters and serious food culture — they just need a local voice.
We cover cheese from a ground-level perspective: what’s available at local counters, how to pair it with regional food and drink, and the craft behind the wheels. Our coverage starts in Pagosa Springs and expands outward as the stories do.

Cheese Master — Murray’s Cheese at City Market
Armando has been cutting, wrapping, and talking cheese at Murray’s Cheese inside City Market in Pagosa Springs since 2021. He brings a practiced palate and a genuine love of the craft to every recommendation, pairing, and article on this site.
Murray’s Cheese is one of the most respected names in American specialty cheese retail, and Armando brings that expertise home to Pagosa Springs, Colorado — making world-class cheese knowledge accessible to anyone willing to ask.
Pagosa Cheesemongers is a cheese education and media site — not a shop, not a creamery, and not a delivery service. You won’t find a cart or a checkout here.
What you will find: articles, guides, quizzes, and tools to help you discover, understand, and enjoy cheese. Think of us as your local cheese-obsessed friend who happens to know a lot about rinds, pairings, and what’s worth seeking out at your nearest cheesemonger counter.
