Kostroma Cheese Museum
Музей сыра
A small cheese museum centered on tasting, where you can sample a variety of local Kostroma cheeses.
Kostroma is a renowned cheese-producing region in Russia, and “Kostroma cheese” was a household name during the Soviet era. The cheese museum occupies an old house near the riverbank and traces the history of Russian cheesemaking. Its highlight is the paid tasting, where you can sample more than ten local cheeses with tea or fruit wine, and buy on the spot. It is small, taking about 40 minutes, and works well as a stop after strolling the shopping arcade.
