There are different kinds of gift baskets, but perhaps the best among them all is the cheese basket. It is very easy to make a cheese basket interesting, thanks to the many wonderful choices of cheese available today. Whether you are giving the cheese basket to a cheesemonger or not, nothing beats the experience of tasting new flavors in the mouth!
A cheese basket can be either grand or simple. But the great thing about cheese baskets is that you can add other items that will make eating cheese even more enjoyable! A cheese basket can have olives, crackers, and even a bottle of wine in it.
One very popular cheese basket that you can easily put together for the holidays is The American Artisanal Cheese Gift Basket. This kind of cheese basket can be bought at any cheese store, but your gift would mean a lot more if you personally placed each item yourself. Besides, why buy a ready-made gift basket and deprive yourself of all the fun?
What makes artisanal cheeses different is the way it is made – it is created in small batches by hand using the traditional cheese making process. Artisanal cheeses are also made by local cheese artisans from pure local milk. Therefore, the cheeses have this unique taste of the local area where it came from.
An Artisanal cheese basket is composed of three kinds of cheeses, these are:
- Aged Gouda Cheese
The best Gouda cheeses are made by the master cheese makers of Central Wisconsin. It is a firm cheese aged usually over 6 months, which makes it a little nutty in the mouth with a velvety texture.
- Cheddar Cheese
Cheddar cheese is always an exciting addition to any cheese basket because of its complex and assertive layers of flavor while having a perfect creamy and crumbly texture.
- Blue Cheese
Like the Roquefort and Gorgonzola, a good blue cheese is ripened for 70 days. What makes it more interesting are its blue veins, which has a rich and creamy taste.
To make the experience of eating these cheeses even more exciting, add a cutting board and a knife set in the basket. Also include olives, some crackers and a bottle of wine while you’re at it! Hurry and choose a cheese basket in your one stop cheese shop now!
