January 20th is National Cheese Lover’s Day
How to Create the Perfect Cheese Lover’s Gift Basket
Do you have a cheese lover in your life? Their day, National Cheese Lover’s Day, is right around the corner on January 20th. That being said, we want to give you a guide on how to construct the perfect cheese gift basket for your recipient. Let’s get started!
When it comes to creating a cheese basket, having a variety of cheeses is super important. Try and pick some with different flavors and textures, a good rule of thumb is to pick one type of cheese from each category:
Hard Cheese:
- Cheddar
- Gouda
- Pecorino Romano
Semi-Firm Cheese:
- Edam
- Cantal
- Manchego
Soft Cheese:
- Brie
- Camembert
- Goat Cheese
Blue Cheese:
- Gorgonzola
- Roquefort
Once you have your cheeses picked out, you can throw in a few more items like crackers and a bottle of wine and you have a nice gift. To upscale your gift basket a little more, you can take the crackers out of their box and put them in a cellophane gift bag. We just know any cheese lover would love to be the recipient of this basket!
