MEET OUR MONGER

Stefania Patrizio, Cheesemonger at Nature’s Vin

Stefania fulfilled her dream of becoming a cheesemonger after leaving a 12-year career in graphic design. After working for local dairies such as Collective Creamery and Goat Rodeo, she landed a job slinging curd behind the counter of DiBruno Brothers at the historic Italian Market location.

Now, she’s the showrunner behind “Cheese & Each Other,” an invitation-only series of events where she pairs unique art and media with cheese. You can also find her serving pasta and wine at the famous Mr. Martino’s Trattoria in South Philadelphia. She’s hoping to one day open her own community-focused cheese shop, highlighting domestic cheeses.
