Take inspiration to making cheese plates to entertain your friends and family each month. Find the pre-order details and form here.  Each box is hand packed with 3-4 cheeses not yet offered in store. We’ll ask you to fill out our comment card each month to tell us what you want to see us bring in to expand our selection!

You’ll notice we secure our boxes with bespoke packaging tape​. It’s plastic free and can be curbside recycled with your cardboard! Check out Sticker Mule. We love working with this great company!
