Artisanal Cheese for Robin Hood Foundation

When chef Terrance Brennan introduced a game-changing cheese plate at his New York eatery Picholine, little did he realize it would lead him to found a retail operation where trained affineurs nurture and age over 200 types of fromage. Sample these delicacies with a three-, six- or 12-month subscription to Artisanal’s Cheese-of-the-Month Club. Each delivery includes four handcrafted, cave-aged cheeses (one each of mild, medium, bold, and strong), plus notes on wine and beer pairings. In addition, Artisanal will donate $25 per three-month subscription to the Robin Hood Foundation; the money will go toward feeding New Yorkers and eradicating poverty in the city.

Epicurean - 12/7/2010

They’re snobby about salt, they proselytize about kale, and they actually own more than one type of cheese knife: We’re talking about the gourmand. And, being experts, they’re tough to shop for. You just have to dig a little deeper than corn holders and slotted spoons to find an implement that they don’t yet own. We’ve got you and your foodie friend covered with this array of top-shelf utensils, kitchen linens, and a few classes and trips of interest. Plus we’ve got kid-friendly foodie gifts for the little epicurean in your life (who isn’t quite old enough to handle a paring knife).
