Talbott & Arding

"You should use Talbott & Arding as a pit stop before heading out into nature for the day. This fancy market in the middle of town has everything you need (and definitely don’t need) for a picnic, like caraway rye crackers, fancy tinned fish, and shabby chic cooler bags. It’s not a matter of if browsing the vast array of cheeses, cured meats, and bread will make you hungry, but when. Thankfully, the prepared food counter opens at 11am and serves a daily changing menu of salads, sandwiches, and focaccia pizzas." - Team Infatuation, Chanize Thorpe

"Mona Talbott and Kate Arding, owners of Talbot and Arding Cheese and Provisions in Hudson, New York, give a tour of the popular upstate destination in a food-centric itinerary for Bon Appétit." - Bao Ong

"Since 2014, Talbott & Arding has been a mainstay of the culinary scene in New York’s Hudson Valley. Helmed by Mona Talbott, a veteran chef and Chez Panisse alum, and Kate Arding, a widely respected cheese expert, the Hudson-based shop is well-known in the region for its meticulously sourced products and prepared foods. Now, after seven years in business, they are growing: This July, they will reopen in a completely renovated 8,000-square-foot space two blocks from their original shop. The new location will feature an expanded pastry program, a larger pantry section, and fresh pasta. Talbott and Arding built their business around the way they like to feed themselves, offering high-quality complements — cheese, pastries, dairy, olives — to home-cooked mains, as well as full takeaway meals." - Sara B. Franklin

"Long the favorite spot in Hudson for grab-and-go goodies, this July, Talbott & Arding will move to a new, 8,000 square-foot location two blocks from the original store. While the new spot will feature an expanded menu of seasonal salads and sandwiches (plus indoor customer seating for the first time), all the old favorites will still be available, like their perennially popular focaccia pizzas, plus exquisite pastries like rhubarb-frangipane galettes. This is also one of the best places to stock up on cheese in all of the Hudson Valley, especially for those looking for regional selections." - Juliet Izon
