BELFAST—Talk about putting your cheese out in the wind. . .

Eat More Cheese, a specialty food shop that opened in Belfast last year, just moved to 94 Main Street from its previous location, tucked behind the building that houses Rollie’s Bar and Grill. Unfortunately, on their grand opening day, high winds in Waldo country knocked out the power for most of the morning.

The power had just gotten back on around noon. Owners Tony and Natalia Rose took it in stride, but were relieved to be able to switch the cheese case lights back on.

The new space on Main Street has twice as much room as the old location and they’ve stuck with their warm mustard colored walls and earthy packaging. “We’re really pleased with this new space,” said Tony, “especially for visibility and accessibility. It will be a lot easier for folks in town and visiting to come in.” This expansion will allow Eat More Cheese to offer an even larger selection of fine cheeses from around the world, as well as salami, charcuterie, beer and wine, chocolate and other specialty products.

“Basically, we can now offer even more cheese,” he said.

The shop carries an ever changing selection of cheeses with upwards of 75 varieties in stock at any time, all of which can be sampled by customers before purchase.

“We’re going to be doing some tastings for the holidays and winter season,” said Tony.

To find out when the tastings are, stay tuned to their Facebook page.   Or contact them at 207-358-9701 or info@eatmorecheese.me
