Award-Winning Cow's Milk Brie, 5 oz

Highlighting the best of American artisan brie-styles, we'll select what is seasonally available and tasting its best. You'll be receiving a pasteurized, bloomy-rind cow milk cheese with notes of white button mushrooms, grass-fed butter, crème fraiche, cauliflower, and baked bread. This cheese category is a crowd-pleaser and pairs wonderfully with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, Riesling, and Sparkling Brut.

Award-Winning Cow's Milk Natural Rind, 6oz

One of our favorite table cheeses, a natural-rind style has an edible, ruddy rind with notes of buttermilk, brown butter, cured meat, nuts, and brown mushroom. Semi-firm and aged a minimum of two months, we'll hand select what is seasonally available and tasting its best. Pairs beautifully with a Chardonnay or Pinot Noir.

Award-Winning Cow's Milk Clothbound Cheddar, 6oz

Clothbound cheddars have become a distinguished American cheese category. Unlike their block cheddar counterparts that are sealed in wax or plastic, the milled curd is carefully wrapped in cheesecloth and then brushed with butter. Clothbound cheddars boasts flavors of bright pineapple and lemon curd, roasted nuts, caramel, and olives with a minerality closer to the rind. We'll select the best-tasting wheel we have for this gift set. Pair with a light to medium-bodied red with low tannins, such as Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc or Syrah.

Pairings to compliment the cheeses are also included in this gift set. There is a selection of Artisan Chocolate, Sweet or Savory Condiment, Fine Charcuterie, Tasty Nuts, Delectable Olives, and Crunchy Carbs

A variety of specialty food products curated by Cheese Grotto.

After you’ve assembled your board, pour one of these pairings to enjoy with your cheese.

Wine: Try crisp white wines like Sauvignon Blanc, Grüner Veltliner, Gewürztraminer, and dry Riesling with these cheeses. Medium-bodied reds like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Barbera, and Merlot are other versatile options. Dry rosé and dry sparkling wines work well too!

Beer: Sip food-friendly beers like amber ales, red ales, pale ales, IPAs, biere de garde, and saisons. Lambics and fruit sours on the drier side also work well with a variety of cheeses.

Cocktails: Gin cocktails like a French 75 or gin and tonic tend to play well with a variety of cheeses, from bloomies to blues. Peated Scotch complements lush bloomies and cheddars. When in doubt, remember that martinis go with just about everything.

Ingredients are variable as we occasionally we substitute one artisan product for another, or one artisan cheese for another, depending on seasonality and availability. Please mark your allergies in the checkboxes provided above the Add to Cart button.
