(British) Someone who sells cheese.
A cheesemonger is a specialist seller of cheese — someone who knows their Comté from their Colston Bassett, can recommend the perfect pairing, and will let you taste three varieties before you buy. In British high streets and farmers' markets, the cheesemonger holds an honored place. The '-monger' suffix (from Old English for trader or dealer) appears in words like fishmonger and ironmonger, all of which signal a dedicated specialist rather than a generalist shopkeeper.
