“Formaticum cheese storage bags and papers are the best way to keep your cheese fresher for longer,” says Angie DiMeo, co-owner of East Side Cheese in Providence, Rhode Island. “We wrap all our cheese that’s cut and sold from the case in Formaticum paper.” DiMeo explains that the micro-perforations in the paper cultivate a cave-like environment, allowing the cheese to breathe a bit while still allowing them to maintain a level of moisture. “It keeps it fresher for weeks longer,” DiMeo adds, “Absolutely do not use plastic wrap to store your cheese long-term.”

Every cheese has a story. That’s what I learned after speaking with Angie and Jeff DiMeo, owners of the new artisanal cheese shop opening in Wayland Square this summer.

The seeds for East Side Cheese & Provisions were planted more than two decades ago when Jeff DiMeo was an undergrad at Northeastern University.

East Side Cheese & Provisions, a full-service specialty cheese shop, proudly announces that it will bring artisan cheese and accompaniments to Providence, RI in the summer of 2023.

Despite owning a successful food consultancy agency, Jeff and Angie DiMeo long talked about having a specialty cheese shop of their own.

A sign for “East Side Cheese and Provisions” is currently posted at 17 South Angell Street in Wayland Square. 

The couple is excited to have the freedom to offer the community and beyond new and exciting products, or as Jeff put it, "a little bit of everything fun and delicious."
