Mother’s Day is two weeks from Sunday. What do you have planned? If your answer is “nothing yet” or “I’ll get some flowers like I do every year,” we have a better suggestion: cheese. It’s the gift that says, I could have eaten this all myself, but I exercised restraint because I love you.
You could swing by your local cheesemonger for some recommendations, or you could head over to our friends at Murray’s Cheese who have a bountiful spread ready for the ordering. From one-off cheese boards to monthly cheese clubs to delightful gift boxes, they have a range of gifts for every type of mom — at least every mom who likes presents of the edible variety.
Below, we’ve picked a few favorites we’re eyeing for our own mothers.
A decadent selection of popular cheeses, charcuterie and pairings (like fruit preserves and rosemary crackers). If you have decision fatigue, go for this balanced spread.
This sampler box consists of six cheese wheels and wedges selected by Murray’s experts, from an intriguing strawberry chèvre to a spice-coated, truffle-studded wedge. It’s perfect for the mom that loves to experiment and try a little bit of everything.
Plop this on the table and voilà, you’ve got a centerpiece for your Mother’s Day brunch, featuring approachable, seasonal selections, as well as fun cheddar-cutout letters. Unwrap, serve and enjoy.
Give mom a trip around the world (and send her cheese on repeat) with this subscription, starting at $65 a month. Each month is centered on a dedicated cheesemaking region. She’ll get three half-pound pieces each time, as well as a tasting guide. Order in April and the first box will ship in May.
This mac and cheese makes for a delicious no-cook night. Murray’s secret cheese blend combines with lobster bisque and real chunks of lobster for a bite of pure decadence. Great for the mom who wants a night off from the kitchen.
Gift her the moon (and the sun!). This duo of hand-formed, celestial-inspired cheeses from Murray’s caves is a returning best-seller. One round is aged with ash and infused with earthy, herbal tea. The other is bright and zingy, thanks to the addition of lemon peel. For the adventurous eater.
