    We’ve got a bit of everything on this list of gifts for cheese lovers.

    Let us note that a nice block of cheese would be a lovely gift for a cheese lover. (And there are several subscription boxes that could be perfect for this if you want to go that route! As would a classic meat and cheese basket from somewhere, like Harry and Davids.)

    However, we have not included actual cheese in this gift guide.

    Because shipping cheese is sometimes a shaky endeavor, and you may or may not be seeing your cheese lover in person this holiday season.

    My friend, Valorie, seared the Internet to find the best gifts for cheese lovers available. She’s written this ultimate gift guide… and it’s pretty awesome, if I do say so myself.

    Gifts for Cheese Connoisseurs

    There are so many great gift options out there for people who love cheese but want to experience more than just the cheese itself.

    From cheese boards to specialized knives and customizable cheese labels for entertaining, there are plenty of tools that can help cheese lovers enjoy their favorite snack.

    And for those who are interested in doing more than just eating cheese, a cheesemaking kit could be a fun gift that allows them to explore this hobby even more.

    Of course, there are also other options to consider, such as cookbooks that focus on making excellent charcuterie boards, as well as cheese storage options that help keep cheese fresh and flavorful.

    Whether you’re shopping for a friend, family member, or even just treating yourself, there’s no shortage of great gifts out there for cheese lovers. Have a look at some of our favorites here!

    Composing the Cheese Plate
    Help your loved one go beyond the standard cheese plate and start composing the kind of beautiful cheese plates that go viral on Instagram. Whether or not they’re an influencer, this is an awesome skill to have to wow friends, too.
    In Composing the Cheese Plate, Fromager Brian Keyser and pastry chef Leigh Friend provide 70 inventive recipes that skip the tired old go-tos. And, importantly, not only do they hand you recipes, but they actually teach you pairing theory.

    Think: “think philosophy of pairing flavors, notes on affinage, seasonality and presentation, a cheese cutting guide, cheese and condiment pairing guides, and everything you'd ever want to know about cheese so you can create impressive, unique cheese boards for your next party or gathering.” It’s perfect.

    Table Grazing Extra-Long Cheese Board
    A mile-long line of exciting different cheeses to try is basically the dream, right? Well, this board isn’t quite a mile long, but when they say “extra long,” they mean it. At 40” (over 3 feet!), this is one of the longest cheese boards on the market that isn’t custom-made.
    It’s perfect for the home entertainer who wants to let the whole table enjoy an appetizer without having to pass plates around. Or, heck, they can use it to really show off their cheese loving prowess and have 10 different cheeses and 20 pairings like crackers, jams and jellies going down the length of the table.

    Italian Cheesemaking Kit

    It includes all the tools and ingredients they need to make several different Italian cheeses at home, including ricotta, mozzarella, mascarpone and ricotta. Just add milk!
    No artificial preservatives, either—in just a few hours, they can have cheese as good as the kind you find in the artisan cheese aisle.

    This beautiful bamboo board starts out as a wedge, then converts into a tiered circle for displaying all your cheese and other appetizers.

    This is a great gift for anyone who loves to entertain but suffers from a lack of kitchen storage. As with most bamboo stuff, it cannot be soaked, and the whole set is handwash only! Make sure your friend knows before they accidentally ruin this beautiful set.

But this set of marble honeycomb cheese knives from Williams Sonoma is sure to make any cheese-lover gasp in awe. I mean, they’re stunning!

    The gorgeous gold on the serving side and the little gold bumblebees are such beautiful details. Of course, there’s a whole line of watching marble honeycomb kitchen accessories, like cheese boards and wine chillers, so this could be just one small part of a much larger gift!

    Cheese Vault
    OK, everyone loves a beautiful cheese board. Those are almost like collector’s items, really. There’s no such thing as having too many (so long as you have the storage space for them.) But a cheese vault? It may not look as pretty, people may not be able to display it like a cheese board, but it is going to change their cheese eating life!

    As many cheese-lovers have experienced, the problem with buying blocks of cheese is no one can really eat the entire thing in one sitting, so the leftover cheese needs to be stored. But even if the blocks are in an “air tight” container, the cheese can get moisture in the package, which makes it moldy, or the air is too dry, and it dries out.

    The cheese vault is here to save the day on that one! It acts like a miniature cheese cave for the refrigerator. It keeps away excess moisture and keeps cheese at optimum flavor levels.

    Cheese Wizard Slicer
    This is yet another kitchen tool that everyone thinks would be nice, but rarely do people buy it for themselves. Be the hero and buy this Cheese Slicer to help your friend cut up a block of cheese quickly so they can get back to the party!

    This is a great gift for your friends who are very precise and hate to see uneven thickness in their slices of cheese. Especially your food blogger friends who might worry that everyone can tell the cheese slices are uneven in their latest Instagram photos!
