Thanks to W’s brother who gets the Culture Cheese magazine subscription for him each year.
I’ve been entering for at least 3 years, so it was quite exciting to get the whole package.
It was Norwegian cheese, from Jarlsburg USA, with accessories. We like the traditional Jarlsberg, a cow cheese we have had often, and we got about a pound of it. It also included Snofrisk and Ski Queen Gjetost (yaytoast — has a flavor similar to tangy fudge — this blog, Cheesemonger’s Wife, describes it well). Both were goat cheeses. We got to enjoy it with some homemade, pickled veggies that we got from family at Christmas. The mustard was similar to a spicy, German mustard, and we haven’t opened the pricey, strawberry preserves yet.
And now the slate board ($40) means we have one for the city (another family gift) and one for the country. The little cheese cooler will be handy, and the cute, little cheese knife that works quite well. The whole package was probably worth $150 or so.
Now we you can win the next giveaway for the fall Culture magazine package.
