The result? A buttery, smooth texture with nutty, herbal notes that make it a stunning centerpiece for any cheese board.
- Marieke Aged Raw Milk Gouda Cheese by Marieke Penterman (1/2 lb) – Crafted in Wisconsin by Marieke Penterman, a Dutch cheesemaker who brought centuries-old European techniques to American dairy, this aged gouda is rich, firm, and full of caramelized depth.

(4.4 oz) – Light, crisp, and infused with fragrant chive and delicate olive oil, these artisan crackers are the perfect complement to soft and hard cheeses alike. Their subtle herbaceous flavor makes them a go-to for pairing with creamy, tangy, or nutty cheeses.
- Roasted Garlic Savory Jam by Blake Hill (10 oz) – Crafted by the talented team at Blake Hill in Vermont, this roasted garlic jam brings a deep umami richness with a touch of sweetness, making it an ideal accompaniment to bold blues, aged goudas, and creamy chèvres.
