Aged & Infused
Have you ever tasted a shrub? This drink is made by combining fruit, sugar, and vinegar—and it might just become your new favorite thing. We tried Siren Shrubs Tart Cherry Sparkling Shrub with our 3-Year Aged Cheddar for a true taste of Wisconsin! The bright flavor of tart cherries and the subtly sour notes of vinegar paired beautifully with our creamy, classic Cheddar.
Minding My Fizzness
Friday night plans include The Blue Jay and Ghia Soda. Ghia Soda is the spritzed version of their signature bitter aperitivo. The notes of yuzu and ginger make a delightful pairing with The Blue Jay’s aromatic juniper berries. The drink’s subtle sweetness gives a delicate contrast to the cheese’s bold flavor, creating a perfectly balanced evening indulgence.
Satisfying Snack Plate
We’re always hungry for a snack plate. Today we’re having our Whole Foods MarketExclusive 36 Month Cheddar paired with fresh black figs, uncured artisanal salami, and Fortune Favors The Classic Sweet & Salty Candied Pecans. Raise your hand if you’d snack on this!

Peachy Keen
What to grab at the farmers market this weekend: Peaches! Try paring fresh peaches with The Wild Boar, sweet olive oil tortas, and a little bit of chili crisp. The sweet and heat play deliciously with the cheese’s saltiness and earthy black truffles.

Stag & Spice
We always love to pair oranges with The Stag, and a snickerdoodle’s’ cinnamon spice makes a perfect match for the cheese’s notes of butterscotch and toffee. Yum!
