The 12 Days of Cheese Deals

Each of these twelve cheeses are go with a wine expertly paired by Whole Foods Market's Master Sommelier, Devon Broglie.

1. Cypress Grove Humboldt Fog

4. Cheddar Montgomery's from Neal's Yard Dairy

Produced in the UK, this cheddar is known for its rich and meaty flavor profile. In fact, some say it reminds them of the "caramelized edge of a Sunday roast." A glass of chardonnay or even a glass of apple cider would pair nicely with this cheese.

5. Enraptured Blue from Rogue Creamery

This award-winning cheese from southern Oregon is exclusive to Whole Foods, so consider this the time to try it out if you're a fan of the tangier blues. It pairs exceptionally well with a Malbec, preferably one from Washington to bring the Pacific Northwest to your door.

9. Cellars at Jasper Hill Hartwell

Named for a pond in Vermont, this classic soft cheese elates flavors of floral and apple. A bottle of dry cider or a glass of Rosé would pair beautifully with this cheese.
