From candlelight moments to lingering moments under the stars, romance takes center stage on Valentine’s Day. Instead of flowers that wilt and wine that sours, true romance is celebrated on the plate. It is time to savor Wisconsin Cheese’s Wedges of Love with that someone special.
Food themed Valentine’s Day gifts are big business. From manly meat sticks to bouquets of breadsticks, it is more than the cliché of the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach. Food is the common connector. It crosses cultures, languages and even barriers.
This year, Wisconsin Cheese is offering Wedges of Love. A selection of nine Wisconsin cheeses is artfully arranged into a bouquet. For the person who wants to make a “grate” impression this year, this gift is one that will be talked about forever.
As Suzanne Fanning, chief marketing officer for Wisconsin Cheese explained, “In Wisconsin, when we care about something, we put everything into it, and cheese is no exception. Designed to rival the drama of flowers and the indulgence of fine chocolate, Wedges of Love celebrates Wisconsin’s unmatched cheesemaking heritage, obsessive craftsmanship, and unapologetic love for doing cheese better than anywhere else on earth.”

How to Serve the Wisconsin Cheese’s Wedges of Love?
While this gift is perfectly packed, it is more than just presentation that makes this gift a winner. It can be both an ultimate cheese spread or an exploration of flavor over time. Personally, my preference would be to serve a few cheeses a time and enjoy the gift over several weeks.
For example, I would serve the Roth Cheese, Grand Cru Reserve with the Carr Valley Cheese Company, Cranberry Chipotle Cheddar. The contrasting flavors paired with some salted nuts would make for a lovely mid-afternoon treat or a hearty appetizer.
Or, another pairing would be the Marieke Gouda, Fenugree with the Sartori Cheese, SarVecchio. Whether paired with a neat bourbon or a jammy pinot noir, these cheeses invite conversation and allow people to savor the experience.
If someone did not snag the specialty Valentine’s Day gift before they disappeared, do not fret. Take inspiration from Wisconsin Cheese and create your own bouquet. After all, why should cured meals be the only food being transformed into flowers for the romantic occasion.
