Cheese Styles Included

• Bloomy rind, Washed rind, Natural rind, Waxed rind, Blue, Smoked, Herbed, Spiced, Cow cheese, Sheep cheese, Goat cheese (unless otherwise requested in our preferences section)

• What are funky cheeses? We call blue cheeses and washed rind cheeses “funky cheeses” because they are stronger in flavor and aroma.  

• What are flavored cheeses? We call cheeses infused with herbs, spices, and smoke “flavored cheeses” because the interior or exterior of the cheese has added flavor.

• The subscription includes three cheeses (1 to 1.5 pounds total) per shipment. The cheeses shipped are selected at optimal ripeness and best enjoyed within 2 to 3 weeks of delivery.

• One serving of cheese is anywhere from 2 to 4 ounces, depending on your appetite. This package is great for 6 to 12 servings over weeks of enjoyment.

How the Subscription Works

• After signup, the gift recipient will have access to a subscription portal and can modify the order dates if needed. However, they won't be notified by us about the gift until the first shipment tracking is created. This is to ensure we don't spoil a gift by automatically letting them know (many folks preorder their gifts and don't want us to tell them before Christmas, for example!). Just make sure to enter in the recipient's name and address in the form above. You can also email us at [email protected] for assistance modifying your delivery week, and we'll respond within 3 business days.

• You will be billed once for the total subscription package. At the end of the pre-paid period of 6 months, you will receive an email asking if you would like to extend your subscription.

• The monthly subscription will be processed every 4 weeks, and the monthly order number will be generated in our system the Sunday prior to the week of shipping your order. 

• This is a one-time purchase that will not automatically renew after the prepaid period.

• Cancellations to a prepaid subscription must be made 2 business days before the first box on the prepaid plan ships. We offer prepaid subscriptions as a way to prepay & save, and so we do not offer partial cancellations or refunds once we have started to prepare your order. We do offer replacements for any damaged items in transit, of course!

What Is Artisan Cheese?

According to the American Cheese Society, "artisan or artisanal implies that a cheese is produced primarily by hand, in small batches, with particular attention paid to the tradition of the cheesemaker’s art, and thus using as little mechanization as possible in the production of the cheese."


Over the past decade, the American artisan cheese community has been recognized internationally for its quality and integrity. Small to medium-scale artisan cheesemakers have a core set of values: High-quality milk makes incredible cheese, and high-quality land and animal management makes for incredible milk. In our industrial food system, committing to these core values requires long hours of hard work and strict attention to detail.


Our monthly subscription directly supports American artisan cheesemakers and the strengthening and diversification of our food system.

Long Time Subscriber!

I have been a subscriber to the Cheesegrotto monthly subscription program since January of 2022, when I found the program online and thought it would be a nice gift for my father, who both enjoys a few cheese & crackers on special occasions and is difficult to shop for!

I was able to provide some guidance in the kinds of cheese my father liked and had Cheesegrotto select cheeses for each month. My father loves the cheeses selected, both the ones he has heard of and the new varieties he receives through the program - and I am able to enjoy many of the selections when I visit.

Additionally, I have always been amazed by the professionalism, customer service, and obvious regard that the Cheesegrotto has for their customers, and for the quality of the product they ship out. Although with my subscription I have not had any cause to call or wonder about my monthly order, they have reached out to me several times when they have had concerns about shipments (such as leaving cheeses in a hot location), and always dealt with me with care and concern for our relationship, and willing to do their utmost to deliver some great cheese.
