Cheese of the Month Club | Gourmet, Artisanal Cheese Delivery with Free Shipping I give the Seasonal package every year to my Dad and Step Mother, they are both cheesies and always rave about the selections. I've been told not to change my gift...ever! I received the cheese of the month club as a birthday gift from my co-workers.

Sent this to my daughter-in-law as a thank-you gift and she has absolutely RAVED about it. I grew up on a dairy farm eating fresh cheese that my family used to make - so I know what the good stuff is supposed to taste like. All of my friends would say that I'm the ultimate foodie.
