This versatile assortment of cheeses has been created to complement both holiday meals and the ensuing days of leftovers.

  • Sage Derby: Derby is a yellow cheese with a firm texture similar to that of Cheddar. This dairy actually mixes chopped sage leaves into the cheese curd rather than mixing sage powder into the milk like most companies do. This results in a fresher sage flavor, and it is this flavor that lends Sage Derby its charm. (8 oz.)
  • Swiss Emmentaler: Classic Swiss cheese, aged 4 months. Essential in everything, from sandwiches to Fondues. Perfect for leftover Thanksgiving Turkey and swiss sandwiches! (8 oz.)
  • Mindoro Blue: Swiss Valley Dairy specializes in Blue-veined cheeses including Gorgonzola and Mindoro Blue, which is a drier and stronger version of their gorgonzola. (8 oz.)
  • Wensleydale with Cranberries: This is a fresh, young cheese taken at only three weeks old. It has a clean, mild, slightly sweet flavor with a honeyed aftertaste. The superb texture of fresh Wensleydale is perfectly complemented by the addition of all natural cranberries of the finest quality. (8 oz.)
  • New England Cranberry Chutney: The pure flavor comes from the cranberries, with raisins, oranges, walnuts and just a touch of cider vinegar. A delicious complement to turkey, chicken, roast lamb and ham. (12 oz.)
  • Water Crackers: Perfect for serving with cheeses, fruit, and spreads when entertaining. (4 oz.)
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Comments about Holiday Cheese Assortment:

The sage derby was gone first. Unfortunately, the kids got to it before it could be served for an appetizer. This is a great assortment for buffet style dining around the holidays.

Comments about Holiday Cheese Assortment:

This was a wonderful assortment of flavors and textures. The emmenthaler was firm and nutty. The goat cheese with blueberries and cinnamon was delightful as a spread on crackers. I enjoyed the Wensleydale with cranberries. It is a crumbly cheese, but very tasty. Also thought the sage Derby was a surprise. They all tasted great accompanied by the cranberry mustard. It would have been terrific as a cocktail sauce with shrimp.

Comments about Holiday Cheese Assortment:

This was a fantastic set of cheeses! All of the cheeses were flavorful and complemented each other well. And the chutney was amazing too.

My favorites were the sage derby and the rum raisin chevre log. We served the cheeses for appetizers on Thanksgiving, and it was well-received by all.
