Dear Katherine,


Love is in the air and what better way to celebrate than with some delicious cheese!

Cheeses for Valentine's Day


Whether you're spending the day with your significant other or enjoying a night in with friends, we have three perfect pairings. Happy Valentine's Day, cheese lovers!

Romantic Pairings

Brie du Pommier with Raspberry Jam and Chocolate Chip Cookies

Presented by: Peterson

Brie du Pommier is a perfect cheese for your Valentine's Day celebration. Boasting a decadent, well-rounded flavor profile highlighted by creamy, cultured nuances and a delightful mushroom essence, this cheese's complexity deepens with ripening, ensuring a sensory experience like no other. Pair with the contrasting crunch of a chocolate chip cookie and the sweet tang of raspberry jam, to create a harmonious blend that enhances the cheese's silky texture and rich, earthy tones.


Sherry Gray & Champagne

Presented by: Jasper Hill Farm

Sherry Gray is, first, a feast for the eyes with its soft, silvery rind; the black ash peeking through a frosty layer of delicate bloom. Cutting into the wheel reveals a yielding, glistening paste with the texture of softened butter. Flavors of cultured cream dominate, with subtle hints of fresh button mushrooms and a warm, nutty finish that lingers on the palate. A cheese as decadent as this just begs for bubbles.


Roquefort &

Poached Pears

This dreamy treat will make your heart sing. The bold Roquefort mousse is rich, creamy and balances perfectly with the sweetness of the pears and honey. It goes beautifully with a warm cup of tea!
