The Vermont Cheese Council is delighted to introduce our 2026 Holiday Tasting Kit featuring seven Vermont cheeses and three accoutrements including (new this year!) Ploughgate Creamery Cultured Butter – plus, an exclusive macaron collection that celebrates Vermont’s cheese makers by incorporating six Vermont cheeses into the recipe!

With just over three pounds of local Vermont cheese, our Tasting Kit includes a Savor Sheet with culinary notes about each cheese, suggested pairings, and a printed booklet from our cheesemakers telling you about their farms, creameries, and cheeses. A unique gift for someone you love (or just yourself!), or an easy party piece for your holiday gatherings!

Tasting kits must be picked up from the location you select at the time of ordering. (Shipped kits will arrive in the 7 day window before Christmas.)

There are a limited number of tasting kits available, so don’t delay in ordering.
