Why a trailblazing cheese store is closing in downtown L.A.
Briefly

Why a trailblazing cheese store is closing in downtown L.A.
""It was a tidal wave of factors that bear down on you. This is a process that has been happening for years. Nobody is spending, there are protests, strikes, war, all of it comes to bear here.""
""We're bound together by this desire to get people downtown and to experience something fun and quintessentially L.A.," co-owner Reed Herrick said."
"Clarke and her sister, Marnie, who is also a partner, are third-generation dairy purveyors whose family founded Alta Dena Dairy. Cheese was more than a calling; it seemed like a birthright."
"They opened DTLA Cheese in Grand Central Market, a tribute to spoonable Époisses and crumbling hunks of Jasper Hill Farm cheddar, celebrating cheese makers from Petaluma to Parma."
DTLA Cheese Superette, a beloved artisanal cheese shop in downtown Los Angeles, is closing after over 12 years of operation. Co-owners Lydia Clarke and Reed Herrick opened the shop in 2013, contributing to the area's renaissance. The closure is attributed to various challenges, including economic factors and social unrest. The shop was known for its diverse cheese offerings and a menu featuring creative dishes. Despite the closure, the adjacent wine bar, Kippered, will continue to operate.
