A Curdbox Cheese Membership Is Truly a Golden Gift (and Great Value)

This story is part 84 days of vacationa collection that helps you find the perfect gift for everyone.

If you’re at a loss for what to get a friend, colleague or relative, this is quality cheese to the rescue. Curdbox is my favorite way to try interesting new artisan cheeses and local food and snack pairings to go with them each month.

Why this is a great gift: Curdbox sends out three 4-ounce blocks of various small-batch cheeses each month along with delicious snacks and other food pairings, including crackers, nut mixes, tapenades, jams and preserves. In addition to the delicious dishes – presented in gift packaging – you will get information on each product and suggestions for food and wine pairings. Curdbox even curates a special Spotify playlist for each month’s box so you can have a blast with your block of cheese. Choose a one-time shipment or a three, six, or 12 month plan for someone who loves cheese.

What you will pay: Curdbox costs $50 for a single month (plus shipping) but drops to $47.75 if you choose a longer subscription and pay up front. I happen to think it’s a great deal considering how much is included in a monthly shipment. There’s also a wine pairing add-on for $100, though we haven’t tasted Curdbox wines yet.
