About Caseus Diem

Nearly 10 years ago I started my journey into the world of cheese in a little shop in Carmel-by-the-sea, Ca. I didn’t have any food experience before starting there and working there sparked a life long passion.

Moving from the central coast to SoCal and finally up to Portland this passion followed. After 2020 and working in a couple grocery stores, I realized that I missed the human connection that I had at that first cheese shop. There’s something so special about seeing somebody’s face light up when they try their new favorite cheese. There’s also the story telling.

You get to weave factual tales of how the cheese was made, the history, taking people on a journey around the world without the need of a passport. All of this leading me to realize there is a need for more of that in Portland. Which brings us to the creation of Caseus Diem, which translates to Cheese The Day, in Latin. I wanted a cheesy space where all are welcome and I’m fortunate enough to make this a reality. I’m so excited to share it with the people of Portland.
