Every day is gouda at The Cheese Wheel, Greenville’s newest brick-and-mortar cheese shop on Augusta Road (1441 Augusta St.).

Kyle here. I got a sneak peek at ahead of its grand opening Fri., Nov. 11 to get a slice of what to expect.

A family of fromage

The Cheese Wheel is the idea of owners Michael (Mike) Davitt, his mother Denise + Michael Hallisey. The three relocated to Greenville from Connecticut, where Mike received training as a cheesemonger (think: cheese specialist).

If you’re like me, you want to know why Swiss cheese has holes + the difference between a six-month aged cheese and a twelve-month aged cheese. Mike will answer your questions in detail, no matter how cheesy.

What to see (and taste) to brie-lieve

The shop features 200+ international and domestic cheeses and 10+ charcuterie meats, all of which are cut to order. Not sure what to get? Share your preferences and the team will slice any wheel or block for you to try. I went for a variety, including:
  • Fromager d’Affinois, a French double cream soft cheese (like brie)
  • Crater Lake Blue, an Oregon blue cheese
  • Emmentaler - Le Superbe, a Swiss cheese
  • Dutch Honey Bee goat gouda
  • English white cheddar

You’ll also find shelves stocked with accouterments, including everything from crackers to cheese honey, bottles of wine, accessories like cheese knives, refrigerators with grab and go charcuterie board fixin’s, and more.

The Cheese Wheel is open Wed.-Sat., 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Follow the shop on Instagram for updates, future events, and specials.

City Editor Kyle here. 👋 I love to hit the trail with my bike for a quick workout, but with these winter temps, I’m breaking more of a shiver, not a sweat.

I brought my workout indoors by taking a cycling class at the YMCA of Greenville. Keep reading to learn more about how to work up a sweat while having fun + how you can Try This.

What we tried (with pricing):

I took a one-hour cycle class with Sadie R. at Caine Halter Family YMCA. All of the YMCA of Greenville locations offer cycling, along with a variety of wellness programs. If group exercise isn’t for you, the encouragement + expertise of a nationally certified Y personal trainer can help — whether that’s in-person or virtual.

With a Y membership, group exercise classes (plus some other wellness programs) are unlimited. Membership rates + joining fees vary across each location and type of membership (think: household, single adult, teen, or senior).*

THE WRAP

Today’s issue was written by Kyle.

Editor’s pick: All this talk of cheese has me thinking of the big ball of cheese in the sky — aka the moon. Okay, I know the moon isn’t cheese, but it looked a lot like a wax-covered wheel of gouda during this morning’s total lunar eclipse. If you caught the lunar event on camera, we’d love to share your footage (with credit to you, of course) — launch it our way.
