HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE 2021: THE BEST CHEESE GIFTS WILL PLEASE EVERYONE ON YOUR
HOLIDAY LIST

Cheeses and charcuterie like these from Dobbs & Bishop in Bronxville, NY, make
for a delectable ... [+] holiday gift.
Dobbs & Bishop Fine Cheese
When Charles de Gaulle groaned, “How can anyone govern a nation that has two
hundred and forty-six kinds of cheese?” he was actually off by about 750. But
the idea has a good deal of truth to it. For any nation that somehow feels the
need for hundreds of cheeses is one that will never be satisfied with too much
and too proud to listen to reason about what they eat.

Yet that number of French cheeses is but a fraction of all the cheeses made in
the world—all more or less by the same process, yet each having a distinctive
flavor. For a long time in the U.S. imported cheeses were few and domestic
cheeses not very good. In the last decade that has changed enormously so that
you can readily find terrific, interesting, unique cheese made everywhere from
Croatia to Kenosha. In any number of small French villages you’ll find a cheese
monger, and the established ones in the U.S. are showcasing more cheeses from
everywhere.
For holiday gifts cheese are a capital idea and, largely unexpected. The best
way to buy—and if necessary send them—is by a highly reputable shop that
specializes in mail order. You can shop their catalogs but, when you are ready
to order, it is essential to call the store and discuss a few details: First,
how long will the cheese take to deliver, and how will it be shipped to insure
freshness? You don’t want unchilled cheese to sit at the front step for eight
hours in the Florida sun. Second, ask about the ripeness of softer, creamier
cheeses. This is not so much a problem with a firm cheese like cheddar or
Parmigiano, but for a Camembert or Gorgonzola it is. Third, you might want the
cheeses to be a bit under-ripe in case the recipient is going to store them for
several days after receipt.
Here, then, are some first-rate stores that buy and really take special care of
their products and know very well how best to send them around the country.
Murray’s Cheese—With three locations in New York, including Grand Central
Terminal, Murray’s is the city’s premier cheese store, with nearly 250 varieties
offered at any one time. They have 33 styles of cheese, from Alpine
and buffalo milk to smoked and stinky. They specialize in mail order, cutting
the cheese individually per order. If Murray’s doesn’t carry it, it probably
isn’t imported.

The long-established institution (1947) in the Bronx’s Little Italy neighborhood
specializes in imported Italian cheeses owner David Greco personally chooses.
His Parmigiano-Reggiano is aged a minimum of three years, and if you think of
pecorino as a salty grating cheese, order Mike’s Fiore di Sardegna (“flower of
Sardinia”) or with truffles, along with smoked cacciocavallo and marvelously
creamy Gorgonzola.
The Great American Cheese Collection—1400 W 46th Street, Chicago; 773-475-6527.
They claim to stock the largest number of artisanal cheeses anywhere, so if
you’re excited about all the new strides American cheesemakers are making, this
is the place to order from. They also put together “cheese flights” of several
complementary types. Many have delightful names like Lille Bebe from Vermont;
Creamy Sext Mushroom from Chicago; and Horseradish and Chive Havarti from
Wisconsin.
La Fromagerie— Some of the best cheese shops are small and very welcoming,
places to get a little education along with your cheese. La Fromagerie, with
four stories in the San Francisco area, has several gift boxes available for
shipping across the USA. There are plenty of unusual selections including Parano
from the Netherlands; Chimay Grand Cru from Belgium; and La Tur from Italy.

Dobbs & Bishop Fine Cheese—107 Pondfield Road, Bronxville, NY; 914-361-1779. A
cozy cheese shop in an affluent New York suburb, D&B’s owners Kevin McNeill and
Ruth Walter opened in 2009 and built a discerning clientele looking for
something out of the ordinary, and there’s a lot of it here. They have dozens of
cheeses rarely seen anywhere else and the best examples of them, all at peak
condition and cut to order. The cremes alone, like Brebirousse d’Argental, Mt
Tam, Pierre Robert and a Hudson Valley Camembert, are superb, and they carry ten
cheddars.
Bardwell makes its own seasonal cheeses in Vermont.
Bardwell
Consider Bardwell Farm—Founded in 1864 by Consider Stebbins Bardwell as the
Pawlet Cheese Company as Vermont’s first dairy coop, cheesemaking operations
were restarted in 2004 under the Consider Bardwell Farm name by co-owners Angela
Miller and Rust Glover using traditional methods, regenerative agriculture and
sustainable farming practices. The cheeses are made in small batches and are
among the finest American cheeses I have tasted, each distinctive and full
flavored, including Pawlet and Rupert, both crafted from raw milk.
