I stopped by this delightful little shop while visiting my mom who lives up the road. What a cute place! It has been around for about two years and has cheeses, pastas, tinned fish, foie Gras, pate, cured meats, and more. The owner is a retired flight attendant who hand picks all of the inventory from some of her favorite places she's come across in her travels all over Italy, Greece, France, and more. A truly can't-miss, one-of-a-kind culinary shopping experience in lovely Litchfield, CT.

The food here is EXCEPTIONAL. I had their salami sandwich (with fresh bread from the next door bakery, The Bakeshop) - no exaggeration, it was the best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life. This is my new favorite spot! Highest quality meats and cheeses, and the people who work there are so kind and wonderful.

The Discerning Palate is located in the old Litchfield Jail, next to the Bakehouse of Litchfield. There is parking available on the Green, and you can easily get there by way of the crosswalk. There's also limited 15 minute parking behind the jail. The store, I had heard, was a cheese store. But it's a lot more than that. It's more of an international grocery store, with everything you need for a fancy dinner. Noodles, sauce, spices, frozen tortellini, etc, but of course there is also cheese! There's some in small refrigerated cases that are prepacked, and others that are cut to your requested weight. The cashier was very conscientious and weighed out the cheese as closely as she could. It was on the higher end of the price scale, but also delicious and I wish I had more! I tried the Bleu and gorgonzola, and although the gorgonzola was surprisingly soft, they were worth every cent!
