How the Fairhope Cheese Post Works

Think of this as a planned cheese splurge—handled for you.

We’re bringing you better cheese.

Each month, I curate a selection of artisan cheeses you’re unlikely to stumble upon at the grocery store—the kinds of cheeses you usually discover at specialty counters, cheese shops, or on trips you wish you took more often.

Think:

  • A small-batch Alpine-style from a Midwest creamery that rarely ships retail

  • A funky, washed-rind beauty that can only be ordered from the internet (and is likely sold out online)

  • A seasonal European classic that’s at its peak right now

(And yes, sometimes a cheese that’s having a bit of a moment—because those are fun, too.)

Everything is paired with intention

Each delivery includes:

  • Three hand-selected artisanal cheeses

  • Two full-sized gourmet accompaniments

  • One box of crackers to complete the experience

The goal? You don’t have to run back to the store.

The accompaniments are chosen to actually work with the cheeses—think things like:

  • A fig or cherry preserve that balances a salty alpine

  • A cured meat that plays nicely with a creamy, bloomy rind

  • A savory pickled veg that brings the whole thing together

Mix, match, experiment. There’s no “wrong” order here. There’s also a tasting notes card outlining how to best enjoy these cheeses—from recipes to drink pairings (plus the stories behind them for good measure).

Why this is worth it

Let’s be honest. Good cheese is expensive. To recreate this service, you’d need:

  • Access to a well-curated cheese counter

  • Time to ask questions, taste, decide, and pair

  • Willpower not to overbuy

  • And a willingness to spend more than you planned

This just makes the splurge intentional, cost-effective, fun, and convenient! I mean, who doesn’t love the thrill of a surprise package?

The Fairhope Cheese Post is for:

  • Folks who love good food and want better cheese without overthinking it

  • Hosts who want something impressive on the table (without a whole production)

  • Anyone who enjoys discovery, surprise, and a little monthly indulgence
