Celebrate National Cheese Lover’s Day with The Local Palate Marketplace

, by Amber Chase

Many of us don’t need an excuse to celebrate cheese, but, when the occasion calls for it, who are we to resist? National Cheese Lover’s Day is January 20, and whether you’re pulling together a perfectly-curated cheese and charcuterie board or looking for a way to enjoy your favorite fromage on the go, The Local Palate Marketplace has the celebratory selections you’ve been searching for.

To Build the Perfect Charcuterie Board:

A gorgeous cheese board always begins with a good base. Choose from a selection of live-edge boards handmade in South Carolina by Murry Thomspon. 

Any charcuterie is incomplete without something briny. These vermouth brined olives from Jack Rudy give that perfectly salty brine mixed with floral and herbaceous undertones from the vermouth.

Jam or chutney are traditionally paired with cheese, and this blueberry bourbon and cardamom jam from Bourbon Barrel Foods balances sweet and spice for the ideal spreadable topping.

For those less interested in charcuterie, we recommend serving a small bowl of popcorn for easy grazing. Ella’s Salty Finger Pop makes for a light, salty, and snackable companion.

Drizzle a touch of AR’s clover honey over your cured meats or hard cheese for a succulent bite.

 

For Cheese Snacking On the Go:

These addictive, crunchy cheese straws are packed with all the flavor of sharp cheddar cheese. Keep a stash in your pantry or on the go to get that quick, cheesy bite. 

As true Southerners, we can’t leave pimento cheese off this list, and Birdies’ has that creamy, gooey texture with just the right hint of spice we can’t get enough of. 

Delightfully crunchy and undeniably cheesy, these cheese crispies balance the earthy flavor of roasted pecans with sharp cheddar and a hint of heat.
