One the of the things that we were sure to miss when we moved from New York was Murray's Cheese and Deli at Grand Central Station Market. So it was a tremendous delight when we discovered Di Bruno Bros. at the Ardmore Farmer's Market, which despite its name is not a conventional farmers market but an indoor collection of food vendors. Di Bruno Bros. features a wide range of cheeses, prepared foods and deli meats including the hedonistic Jamon Iberico which sells for a whopping $100/lb and a Capriole O' Banon, which is a luscious young goat cheese wrapped in chestnut leaves that have been soaked in bourbon.
On the day of our visit we picked up our favorite cheeses Comte and Pleasant Ridge and two sandwiches, one of which, the Napolean, a turkey sandwich stuffed with brie and sweet caramelized onion jam, has quickly become a favorite of ours and worth a try if you are in town.

It looks like you found a wonderful spot to buy cheese. I love Comte too. Ask if they have Napoleon the next time you go. It's amazing!
The Napolean sounds delicious! Love your blog - just the right mix of food and family for this blogger! I'll be following, thanks!
Love favorite haunts..Glad you found a new one:)
I shouldn't have looked before dinner! Those sandwiches look delicious and what a wonderful place to buy cheese. Finding a special place that is a treasure!
I love Murray's Cheese and Deli and hit it every time I visit NYC. We have some good cheese shops here in MN - and it takes time but isn't it wonderful when you find some place that you can count on? I know - it's not the same - but that's good also!
so glad you found this wonderful place, how divine-soaked in bourbon.
Looks & sounds like a wonderful place!
Finding a great farmers' market, and local food establishments, is definitely part of feeling like a local. Your food photos are terrific!
I have yet to try Iberico ham... can't wrap my head around the price but have it on my bucket list for sure. Great looking market... where is it??
That looks wonderful! I wonder if they have Brin d'Amour? That's my favorite.
Nice place, and I am now left mouth watered looking at that sandwich.
I love discovering new markets! Would love to try that goat cheese!
beautiful photos. the farmers' market looks amazing. love all of the cheeses. mmmMmmm.
I would not have been able to resist the goat cheese in the grape leaves soaked in bourbon. A bit different than those we saw in Provence, but I bet they were really tasty. There would have been several of them in my bag. How lucky to live near this market Christine.
Happy Valentine's day.

Congrats on finding a new foodie resource. We just moved from NYC to the Boston area, and I know we are still working on replacing Murray's in the West Village among other places.
Wonderful. I'm just imagining that goat cheese wrapped in bourbon-soaked chestnut leaves! Mercy. And the $100 lb Iberico....let's see, I could get a super-thin half ounce slice for 8 bucks!
Those sandwiches look fantastic! Sounds like a great market. I'd love to try that goat cheese, and Pleasant Ridge is one of my favorites.
You really have some great shots here love that sammi too!
Sounds like a delightful market place! Glad you found a wonderful spot for your cheese finds :)
