This holiday season, may we recommend the gift of spreadable cheese?
No, not one of those nut-studded, worcestershire-spiked party balls! Instead, we suggest spreading your celebratory spirit—and gift-giving generosity—well into 2021 with a cheese subscription.
As our collective hunker-down continues into a new year, fromageophile family and friends will surely appreciate extra excuses to celebrate during the dark winter months ahead. And that’s just what you can provide with a multi-month gift from a reputable mail-order monger.
Whether you’re ready to make a full-year commitment for your own household or just want to keep Aunt Lula in lactose til springtime, whether you want to send reliable classics or more esoteric edibles, there are cheese subscriptions that will suit your fancy.
Here is some general advice on online subscription shopping along with some of our favorite options from trustworthy services. Most of the vendors mentioned below offer multiple subscription formats and one-time gifts their websites.
Subscription shopping tips
Know your recipients. Are you giving to a granny or a gourmet? A houseful or a singleton? Some subscriptions distinguish themselves by including in-depth background literature with each shipment, full of tasting notes and pairing tips. Some deliver honking blocks of cheese, while others feature lots of cheese-adjacent nibbles. Think about which will please your significant snackers.
