Do you know a nature-loving cheesemonger? If so, we have the perfect gift combo. First, let’s start with the cheese. Formaggio Kitchen has a few different “Cheese of the Month” options starting at three months and up to a full year.

Make that cheese gift extra special with a unique American Stone Craft cheese plate, harvested from one of the many New England rock walls that pepper the New England landscape. No two are the same. This beauty comes from a stone on Allandale Farm in Boston, MA ($195.00). Check out their other products too!
