In the heart of Philadelphia’s vibrant Fishtown district, a cheesy revolution is underway, and it's all thanks to a vending machine. Yes, you read that right — a vending machine that dispenses not candy bars or chips, but an array of gourmet cheeses and charcuterie. Welcome to Perrystead Dairy's latest innovation: the cheese lover's dream come true.
Imagine strolling down the cobblestone streets of Philly, craving a midnight snack that goes beyond the ordinary. Suddenly, you spot a glowing neon sign that reads “cheese” — your beacon of hope. As you approach, what appears before you is no ordinary vending machine. It’s a sleek, London phone booth-inspired contraption, filled to the brim with delectable delights.
Perrystead Dairy, the masterminds behind this cheesy marvel, have spared no expense in ensuring that every bite is a taste sensation. From artisanal cheeses worthy of being cased at Murray's in Manhattan to locally sourced meats, crackers, preserves, and even their signature “really Philly schmear” cream cheese, this vending machine is a culinary adventure waiting to happen.
But what sets this cheese dispenser apart isn't just its contents — it's the sense of community it fosters. Founder Yoav Perry envisions Perrystead as more than just a dairy; it's a gathering place, a hub where neighbors can come together over a shared love of cheese. And judging by the late-night crowds flocking to the machine, it's clear that Perrystead is hitting the mark.
But Perrystead's offerings go beyond mere convenience. With cheeses like Moonrise, aged to perfection with French calf rennet and Iberian cardoon thistle flowers, and Treehug, a winter-exclusive delicacy wrapped in bark, Perrystead is elevating cheese to an art form.
And the innovation doesn't stop there. Perry has big plans for the future, including expanding the vending machine's selection to include other local cheeses and using it as a testing ground for experimental recipes. After all, as Perry himself says, "Just like making cheese, you never know what the response is going to be.”
So, whether you're a cheese connoisseur or just someone looking for a late-night snack with a twist, Perrystead Dairy's cheese vending machine is sure to delight. Unbrie-lievable? You bet. But in the City of Brotherly Love, anything is possible — especially when cheese is involved.
