As the Holidays approach, I am sure that many others are feeling the same way as I… a little challenged by what-to-get-for ‘him’?…and ‘him’??… and ‘her’?.. and so on. With this in mind, we have added some new products at La Jolie to help solve this question for the cheese-lovers on your list!

Always appreciated and useful is the cheese plane and the universal cheese knife. Thinking cheese and charcuterie, we have the ever exquisite boards handmade by Rick Collins, and for the olives that go on the board, even an olive-stuffer (for adding Brie or Blue). For the host or hostess extraordinaire we bring classics: the fondue and the raclette grill – both are making a huge comeback as purveyors of shared smiles and laughter.

The connoisseur of grana cheese will swoon with the world renowned Peugot cheese mill… pure luxury (and perfect for nuts and chocolate too!)

Other considerations… a gift certificate (which offers the recipient both cheese and a chance to drop by the shop and taste new and intriguing offerings); locally made maple pecans and cheese-pairing jams; even a roll of made-in-France cheese paper which conveniently fits and fills the stocking!

As December begins, we hope you have time to enjoy the bustle and the glow of preparations, but ever so much more, we hope you feel warmth, peace, and that the true meaning of the Season fills your hearts and your homes.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !
