About

Meet the Founder
Life Love Cheese Founder and Cheese-Lover in Chief, Kimi Ceridon is committed to connecting the best in cheese to foodies and casual cheese-eaters like you. When working in tech, Kimi acquired her first Community Supported Agriculture vegetable share. That first season opened her eyes to the amazing food producers living right here in New England. Instantly hooked on supporting the local food system, she set out to try as many artisanal products as possible.
Soon, her love of cheese proved too potent to ignore. Kimi enrolled in the culinary program at Boston University and eventually earned a master’s degree in Gastronomy, as well as a Culinary Arts and an Artisan Cheese Certificate. She also attended the Sterling College Artisan Cheese Institute in Vermont’s artisan cheese country.
Kimi has worked with various Massachusetts-based food organizations (like Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA), The Trustees, Boston Public Market, Urban Farming Institute), worked as a cheesemonger with the infamous Formaggio Kitchen, and shared her passion for artisan cheese by teaching cheese tasting and making classes throughout New England.
When not indulging her customers' penchants for cheese tasting, Kimi enjoys spending time with her family in Medford, MA.
