Our story

The beauty and ultimate test of artisan cheese is this: you can’t fake it. Good milk only comes from happy herds, raised out in the open, grazing on fresh grass, flowers, and herbs. Simple ingredients in the hands of dedicated farmers and cheesemakers who are caretakers of centuries worth of tradition. As cheesemongers, we are here to tell their stories and share amazing artisan cheese for any occasion.

Chantal’s Cheese Shop is the passion of Anaïs Saint-André Loughran and Chris Loughran, a married couple who shared the hope of bringing a cheese experience like no other to Pittsburgh; fresh cut, delicious, happy. To share the joy of small batch, artisan cheese made with hard work and love.

The shop is named Chantal’s as a tribute to Anaïs’ mom, who passed away a few years ago. Anaïs was with her mom when the inspiration to work in cheese first struck her. And it was after her mom’s passing, that Anaïs and Chris left the hustle and bustle of New York City for a place that felt more like home, a place called Pittsburgh. The dream of owning our own place started becoming reality. Life, right? But that’s how we came to open Chantal’s Cheese Shop. We hope to live up to the name, warm and kind. Home.
