Cheese Lover’s Gift Guide
If you're looking for a memorable offering for the serious cheese connoisseur in your life, the following selection of cheese gifts is the perfect cheese lover's gift guide. No matter the occasion, there's something here for everyone and every budget.
Charcuterie Board Gifts for All Occasions
Charcuterie boards make great housewarming gifts, are excellent choices for Father's or Mother's Day gift baskets, and are outstanding gifts for cheese lovers.
A carefully selected pairing of Cabot's award-winning cheeses with hand-crafted crackers, meats, and delightful additions like Marcona almonds flavored with truffle and pure Vermont honey make for a truly one-of-a-kind gift. For a personalized touch, charcuterie board gifts can be engraved with the date of the special day or the cheese lover's initials.
Create Your Own Charcuterie Board
Pair cracker cuts or blocks of Cabot Creamery aged cheddar with sausage, prosciutto, or salami for unique, hand-crafted charcuterie gifts. Add different flavors and textures of crackers and biscuits for an unforgettable gourmet offering, and you're almost done.
Finish off your charcuterie board with thoughtful details like ramekins to store any other left-over delectables, and charcuterie utensils for cutting cheese and meats or spreading jam.
