Route One in Scarborough bears zero resemblance to a back street in Paris’ Montmartre. Zero. So the Cheese Iron — a European-style shop offering more than two hundred domestic and international cheeses, from chevres and bleus to aged cheddars — already gets a prize for its sheer unlikeliness. But what really distinguishes Jill Dutton and Vincent Maniaci’s specialty store is the expert advice of the people who work here and their devotion to what they call the holy trinity of food — cheese, wine, and bread. 200 U.S. Rte. 1 Suite 300, Scarborough, 207-883-4057, www.thecheeseiron.com
