With Christmas decorations in place we turn our thoughts to presents to give to others.
If someone has a fancy for cooking a wheel of cheese will be a thoughtful gift.
We can give cheese of many flavors to them before the Christmas celebrations and it can be used to cut up with fruit to make a nice appetizer platter.
There are many kinds of cheeses with specialties made worldwide.
One cheese is made with buffalo milk to give it a different flavor.
The base for other cheeses can be found to be made with goat and sheep milk.
For a special someone there are cheeses shaped like pears and dipped in wax to keep it pretty.
Some are made with portabella mushrooms and some mellow with wine, this would be special for Christmas.
If the cheese you give them is from another country make sure you give the companies time to receive it for your holiday giving.
There is the traditional colby or cheddar cheese that you can use in your recipe for cheese balls.
Cheese balls are easy to make using cream cheese with onions and spices of your preference.
Mixing them up together to let all the flavors meld together.
You can place your homemade cheese balls in a wooden bowl, or wrap it up and set it on a cutting board.
When you get someone a cheese block you can include a cutting board made out of marble keeping the cheese cool til you have the job complete.
This is a perfect Christmas present for anyone that loves to eat.
They can use it to make their own grilled cheese or nachos.
They will remember you long after the holidays.
Most of the cheeses included are easy to keep and some will freeze.
