The Smoky Board

What's Inside the Box Red Apple Hickory Smoked Bourbon Gouda Cheese (8 oz): A naturally creamy, buttery Gouda is smoked over authentic hickory chips and finished with a subtle hint of fine bourbon, creating a smooth, rounded warmth that lingers beautifully on the palate. Goat Lady Dairy Smokey Mountain Round Cheese (5 oz): In this spectacular piece of southern cheesemaking, the bright, clean tang of fresh goat's milk is gently cold-smoked over applewood, resulting in a velvety round with a delicate, nostalgic campfire finish. Smoky Park Smoked Cheddar Cheese: Serving as a wonderful anchor for the board, this classic sharp cheddar undergoes a patient wood-smoking process that develops a gorgeous golden rind and a deeply savory, rustic depth. Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue Cheese (8 oz): A true masterpiece from Oregon, this award-winning selection is cold-smoked over hazelnut shells, infusing an ultra-creamy, sharp blue paste with a stunningly unique, sweet, and nutty woodsmoke profile. Bella Maria Spanish Cocktail Mix (3.53 oz): Providing an essential structural counterpoint to the rich creameries, this authentic Spanish mix brings an incredible, salty crunch of premium nuts and toasted corn kernels to clear the palate between bites. Rustic Bakery Sweet Onion & Crème Fraîche Flatbread (6 oz): These beautifully light, flaky artisan flatbreads offer a delicate hint of sweet caramelized onion and tangy cream, intentionally crafted to support rather than compete with the cheeses. Mike's Hot Honey (12 oz): The ultimate flavor bridge for the collection, this liquid gold features a clean sweetness and a sudden kick of chili heat that cuts right through the rich fats and intense smoky notes of the dairy. Why They'll Love It A Curated Flavor Journey: Rather than a random assortment, recipients enjoy a thoughtful, progressive tasting flight designed to mirror the expertise of a professional cheesemonger. Genuine Small-Batch Pedigree: This collection highlights legendary, passionate producers—such as the award-winning pioneers at Rogue Creamery—who are actively preserving true artisan traditions. Effortless Entertaining: The assortment completely eliminates the guesswork of hosting, arriving with all the complementary textures, savory notes, and flavor bridges required to build an unforgettable spread right out of the box. Gourmet Serving Tip To allow the intricate woodsmoke aromas and rich fats to completely bloom, remove the cheeses from refrigeration at least 45 minutes before serving, as chill can numb the more delicate nuances of the dairy. Arrange the selection on a large wooden board and serve the hot honey in a small, accessible dish. For an exceptional pairing bite, layer a smear of the Smokey Blue onto a Sweet Onion flatbread, press a single crunchy almond from the Spanish mix into the cheese, and finish with a delicate drizzle of the hot honey. This interactive spread pairs beautifully with a peppery Syrah, a high-rye Bourbon, or a malty amber ale. Product Specifications Shipping & Freshness Perishable.
