About

Created in BKLYN | Assembled in QNS
Founder and owner Melissa Toribio created Brie on the Chisme in 2023 to provide an elevated charcuterie experience with gourmet cheeses for everyone, with a special focus on the Latine and Black diasporas that she is part of.
Her love and appreciation for the art of cheesemaking has been lifelong, inspiring her to experiment with pairings and study the history of the craft. Her ultimate goal is to build partnerships with other minority- and women-owned businesses to diversify charcuterie spreads and create exceptional pairings that infuse each spread with Latine and Black cultures. Whether that means using artisanal honey, jams, and chocolates from Black- and Brown-owned brands or sourcing gourmet cheeses and meats from women-owned distributors, Brie on the Chisme is committed to keeping it as local and diverse as possible!
Below are just a few of the amazing companies we have worked with so far!
