The Cheese Plate: Celebrating the Holidays with Cheese

Dear Hannah,

The colder weather welcomes the holiday season which is abundant in celebratory gatherings. As cheese lovers, we all know that cheese can elevate any recipe, and is also crowd pleaser on its own or as part of a beautiful grazing board. It even makes a wonderful gift!
