Questions

How do I put together a cheese gift for under $30?
Pick three of Cheese Brothers' 6 oz cheeses at $8.95 each, for $26.85. A good mix is the Smoked Gouda, smoked in wood-fired ovens, the "Fields Forever" Green Onion Cheddar and the Dill Havarti.

What should go on a cheese board?
Mix a hard cheese, a soft one and a spread. Sarvecchio Parmesan ($10) is aged at least 20 months, LaClare's Original Goat Cheese ($8) is a fresh 4 oz log, and Smith's Country Cheese Hot Pepper Gouda Spread ($10) adds some heat.

Are there any unusual cheeses?
BellaVitano Merlot ($10) is soaked in Merlot, which gives it berry and plum notes. Cheese Brothers' Honey Sriracha Gouda ($8.95) is sweet and hot, and LaClare makes a Blueberry Vanilla Goat Cheese ($8).
