CRACKER TRAY
Planning to order more than 5 trays as a gift? Sign up for a call wit hour team and we can process the details for you.
In order to avoid product damage and reduced quality, we do not ship cheese event plates or cheese trays at this time.
Please check out our collections and Cheese Club that are designed to survive the rigors of shipping.
Can I select my own cheeses? Every cheese tray features a variety of styles (bloomy/soft, hard, blue) and milk types (goat, cow, sheep) to showcase different cheeses, ensuring all your guests - from cheese novices to turophiles - love something. We select and order the cheeses from our artisan makers seasonally. While you can’t customize your selection, you can specify if you want us to avoid something (like “no blue cheese please”) in the notes section. Ultimately, our goal is that everyone loves the cheese. (Otherwise, we’d be out of business!)
What if I don’t like a certain type of cheese? Please let us know in the notes section, and we’ll do our best to avoid it!
What are the pairings offered? We try to showcase the 5 tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami - as a compliment to the cheese selection. While it can vary, we generally include a selection of fresh and dried fruits, pickled vegetables and/or olives, and Quicos (addictive Spanish corn nuts).
Not sure what cheese tray size to get? A good rule of thumb is 1 ounce of each cheese per person for a dinner portion, or 2-3 ounces total for light grazing.
What if we have allergies? Please specify any allergies when ordering, and note that we build our cheese trays in our Cheese House and Shop, where marcona almonds and bread are present. Additionally, we use latex or vinyl gloves when plating food.
Does it come with crackers or bread? No, but you can add it on! Select either a whole baguette, sliced baguette, or crackers. Note that all these come in bulk for you to plate. However, the Grazing Tables do come with Bread and Cracker Platters.
What if I eat gluten-free? Good news! There is no gluten on our cheese plates. You can add on GF crackers to your purchase.
Is the tray compostable? Our Cheese Boards are made from wood and lined with food-grade wax paper. We tried a compostable board, but it fell apart on too many folks. So while we continue to look for the next best thing, we’re using our tried and true sturdy boards (that have now become popular nationwide - yes, we’ll take some credit for being originals!). Due to food service rules and health department standards, we cannot reuse cheese trays. However, you can! We often flip them over, put wax paper down, and serve right on them from home. Alternatively, bring them back to the Shop. We’re teaming up with a local school as a canvas-alternative, ready-to-hang piece of art to be painted or used for crafts.
Option 1: We can move your scheduled pickup/delivery to a future date.
Option 2: Cancellations with 24 hours advance notice will be refunded to the credit card used to purchase.
Option 3: Cancellation that occur on the day of pickup or delivery will be refunded via store credit / gift card.
