Chèvre aux Fruits Abricots
May we tempt you with this devilishly diminutive cheese? I suggest buying several and starting with a couple on your Thanksgiving cheese board for the ravenous but admiring masses. Then, the next day, as you survey the holiday carnage that has happened to your home, you can put another one on leftover bread and top with chopped nuts (hot honey drizzle is optional). Now you’re ready to clean, process leftovers, watch parades, drink eggnog, hang lights, patch up the family fight, re-caulk your bathtub… you do you.

French Feta at The Cheese Box!
As you probably already know, last month featured National Sneak a Zucchini on your Neighbor’s Porch Day. I decided to let the social media frenzy die down before I made our post. Besides, I know all you gardeners still have plenty of zucchini! Now, if you have been to the shop before or have ever talked to Ari for more than a few minutes—it has probably become apparent that he thinks of vegetables only as a conduit for sauces or cheese. In fact, he thinks sneaking a zucchini on to anyone’s porch as an act of domestic terrorism that can…

Black Garlic Manchego-Style Cheese
There are some advantages to being the head of marketing for The Cheese Box, even though it is an unpaid position currently and I am the only person in the department. However, I do get to influence which cheeses we keep in stock with vague statements like, “my market research shows” or “this tested positively within the target segment”.By target segment I mean me and that this is one of my favorite cheeses. Just look at this beauty. She has a slight sweetness from the garlic that plays perfectly with the nuttiness of the Manchego style cheese. Those veins of…

Rebel Cheese
Calling all fans of the fauxmage! A while back we had a vegan cheese tasting, and we found some winners. The Cheese Box is proud to introduce you to two of our favorites from Rebel Cheese out of Austin. Since I have been dilatory with the deets, procrastinating on the pics, and overdue on the oh hell yeah this cheese is good, Ari has been selling them to non-vegans. He can do that because this Brie has an actual rind! How do they do that? And the Tomato Herb Fromage is your plant-based pizza prayers answered, though I think that…

Bier KAaS
Since the beginning we have had the mindset that we want to introduce you to cheeses that will blow your mind and now along comes a new cheese EXACTLY on our wavelength. A collaboration between a craft brewery and a co-op producer of farmhouse cheeses, Bier KAaS has had nothing added besides the Triple Heen & Weer beer. This is for you-all of the cheese lovers that have asked us to carry a beer cheese. We hope that you love it.

Belper Knolle
Holy moly, Belper Knolle! Just kidding, it’s pronounced kah-noll. But the holy moly part still stands since this cheese is the epitome of small but mighty. Mighty flavored that is. Made with garlic and salt—and rolled in pepper, it is most often grated on top of other foods much like truffles or parmesan. It also gets bonus points for the consternation it can cause when you whip this uh… aesthetically challenged cheese out—and put it on top of what everyone else thinks is a perfectly good pasta dish. Little do they know that it is actually the secret ingredient that…
