Meet the Makers: The Artisans Behind The Table Gourmet
At The Table Gourmet, we believe that food tastes better when you know the story behind it. Every product in our store comes from a maker who has dedicated their craft to producing something exceptional — whether that's a third-generation French butter cooperative, a Wisconsin dairy farmer who brought Dutch cheesemaking traditions to America, or a Carolina family farm producing Italian-inspired cheeses in their own backyard.
Here's a closer look at some of the artisans whose work fills our shelves.
Isigny Ste-Mère — Normandy, France
Founded in 1909 in the Calvados region of Normandy, Isigny Ste-Mère is a farmer-owned cooperative with over a century of dairy tradition. Their cows graze on coastal pastures enriched by sea air and mineral-rich soil — conditions that produce milk of extraordinary quality. Their AOP-certified butters and creams are used by Michelin-starred chefs across Europe and are now available to bring that same quality to your table.

La Conviette — Normandy, France
La Conviette is a small-batch French butter producer whose mini butter rolls have become one of our most beloved products. Made with cream from Normandy's finest dairies and churned in the traditional baratte style, these bite-sized rolls are a masterclass in simplicity done perfectly. They're the kind of product that makes guests ask, "Where did you get these?"

Marieke Gouda — Thorp, Wisconsin
Marieke Penterman grew up making cheese in the Netherlands and brought that knowledge to her family farm in Wisconsin. Her Marieke Gouda cheeses are made from raw milk from her own Holstein herd — a rarity that results in cheeses of remarkable complexity and character. She's won numerous awards at the American Cheese Society and the World Championship Cheese Contest, and her products have earned a devoted following among cheese lovers nationwide.

Boxcarr Handmade Cheese — Cedar Grove, North Carolina
Close to our own Carolina roots, Boxcarr Handmade Cheese is a family farm producing Italian-inspired cheeses with a distinctly Southern soul. Founded by siblings Austin and Samantha Genke, Boxcarr uses milk from their own herd of mixed-breed cows to create soft, bloomy-rind cheeses that have earned national recognition. Their Rosie's Robiola is a particular favorite — a cheese that feels both deeply traditional and entirely original.

Lemarié Pâtissier — Paris, France
Lemarié Pâtissier is a legendary Parisian pastry house with roots stretching back generations. Their mini pancakes — delicate, perfectly golden, and made with traditional French techniques — have become a staple of elegant entertaining. When you serve Lemarié, you're bringing a piece of Parisian pastry culture to your table.
