Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to set the mood with a romantic evening at home. And what better way to celebrate than with a beautifully curated cheese board? Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for two or a cozy movie night, a cheese board adds a touch of elegance and indulgence to the occasion. Craft the ultimate Valentine’s Day cheese board, featuring flavors your loved one will adore.

Selection of Artisan Cheeses

Every great cheese board begins with variety. Aim for a mix of textures, flavors, and milk types to keep it exciting. Here are some standout picks from our Valentine’s Gift Guide:

• Point Reyes Farmstead Cheese Gouda: This exceptional gouda is a balance of both creamy and crystalline, with notes of hazelnuts and caramel. It is wonderful when paired with roasted pistachios and chocolate, all of which can be found in our February subscription box.
• Cowgirl Creamery Mt. Tam Triple Cream Brie: A rich, spreadable delight found in our February subscription box offers an earthy, buttery flavor that's perfect for a romantic evening and pairing with sparkling wine.
• Deer Creek Cheese Indigo Bunting Blue: For bold flavor lovers, this blue sheep milk cheese adds a tangy, creamy touch to your board and is available through our February cheese subscription box.
• Goat Cheese Chocolate Truffles: Featured in our February subscription box and Valentine’s Day Cheese & Chocolate Gift Box, these are infused with raspberry jam, fresh goat cheese, and finished with a rose cacao butter for a decadent pairing in one bite.

Add Sweet and Savory Pairings

To make your cheese board truly unforgettable, add a mix of sweet and savory accompaniments. These extras elevate the flavors and make each bite an experience:

• Chocolates: Include the Valentine’s Cheese & Chocolate Pairing Gift Box, featuring limited-edition truffles and gourmet chocolate bars. Chocolate’s rich sweetness complements creamy and salty cheeses beautifully.
• Fresh Fruits: Add strawberries, grapes, or apple slices for a juicy, fresh balance to the richness of the cheeses.
• Jams and Honey: A drizzle of honey or a dollop of jam (like a fig or raspberry preserve) enhances the sweet and salty interplay of the cheeses. Our February subscription box features a raspberry basil jam that works wonderfully with triple creams and blues alike.
• Savory Bites: Crackers, fresh baguette slices, and roasted nuts add a satisfying crunch to each bite. Love pistachios?  Fortunately for you they are available in our February subscription box.

Presentation is Everything

Valentine’s Day is all about romance, so make sure your cheese board looks as stunning as it tastes. Use a wooden board or marble platter as a base and arrange your items in a way that’s both inviting and easy to share.

• Cheese Styling: Slice some cheeses ahead of time and leave others whole for visual variety. Place small cheese knives nearby for easy serving.
• Add Romantic Touches: Garnish with edible flowers, sprigs of rosemary, or even heart-shaped crackers for a touch of whimsy.
• Color Contrast: Combine the deep reds of strawberries and chocolate with the creamy whites and yellows of cheese for a vibrant, festive look.
