Gifts with Cheese

igourmet's gifts with cheese collection includes artisan cheese gift boxes spanning French, Italian, Irish, Greek, and international traditions, alongside wine-paired assortments matched to Champagne, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Prices range from around $100 to nearly $300, with most boxes in the $100–$175 range. Every box is hand-assembled by igourmet's specialty food team and ships with a personalized gift message at no additional charge.

igourmet carries several cheese gift boxes specifically curated around wine pairings. The Champagne Cheese Assortment Gift Box brings together creamy, delicate cheeses that complement the acidity and effervescence of sparkling wine. The Chardonnay Cheese Assortment Gift Box is built around the buttery, full-bodied character of white Burgundy styles. The Cabernet Sauvignon Cheese Pairing Gift Box pairs firm, aged cheeses with the structure and tannins of a great Cab. Each is a complete experience for someone who loves the ritual of opening a great bottle alongside something genuinely worth eating.

Yes. igourmet ships directly to gift recipients throughout the United States, and a personalized gift message can be added at checkout. All cheese gifts are perishable and ship in temperature-controlled packaging using igourmet's FreshWave system — insulated liners, non-toxic gel packs, and recycled materials — to ensure everything arrives in optimal condition. Most boxes in this collection include free shipping.

All cheeses should be refrigerated upon arrival. Before serving, allow them to come to room temperature for 30–60 minutes — this is when their flavors are fullest and their textures most expressive. Once cut, cheese is best stored in cheese storage bags, which maintain the right balance of airflow and humidity to preserve flavor and texture far more effectively than plastic wrap or foil. Most artisan cheeses, stored properly, will keep well for one to three weeks after opening.

Most igourmet cheese gift boxes are sized to serve two to four people as a generous tasting experience, or four to six people as part of a larger spread. Boxes typically include between four and eight half-pound cuts of cheese alongside crackers or flatbreads. For larger gatherings or entertaining occasions, the Cheese Lover's Sampler Gift Crate — which includes a wider selection of cuts — is the most accommodating option in the collection. For a fully custom-sized selection, igourmet's artisan cheese counter allows you to order individual cheeses by the piece in the exact quantities you need.

Most igourmet cheese gift boxes include crackers or flatbreads as part of the selection. To build a more complete board, add depth with artisan charcuterie, brightness with pickles, olives, and antipasti, and sweetness with jams and fruit spreads. A drizzle of good honey over a piece of aged blue cheese or a firm Pecorino is one of the simplest and most satisfying pairings in the cheese world — browse igourmet's honey and mustard collection for options that complement almost any cheese style.
