If you believe cheese is perfect just the way it is and will happily eat it anytime, anywhere, straight out of the package, I salute you. We are cut from the same cheesecloth. But, while teaching wine and cheese classes at Murray\u2019s Cheese<\/a>, I\u2019ve learned a thing or two: Although cheese doesn\u2019t need anything to shine on its own, there are products that will help you appreciate it in a new way. Whether you’re serving it like a pro or making it yourself, read on for everything you need to take your relationship with cheese to the next level.<\/p>\n

1. Boska Monaco Black Cheese Knife Set with Leather Roll<\/a>, $90<\/h3>\n

The other day, I looked down and realized I was serving cheese to my guests with butter knives. I knew it was time to step it up. These Boska knives don\u2019t just look good\u2014they\u2019ll help your cheese cut into smooth, even pieces and look their best on a charcuterie board. The one with holes and the one with the thin blade are ideal for cutting soft cheeses, as the minimal surface area prevents them from sticking, while the shorter, thicker knife will help you chip away at any block of aged cheese.<\/p>\n

2. FarmSteady Italian Fresh Cheese Making Kit<\/a>, $30<\/h3>\n

Making cheese can seem complicated and out of reach, but it doesn’t have to be. After all, humans have been making it for how many thousands of years? It\u2019s in our DNA at this point. Once you get the method down, making fresh cheese is a breeze. This cheesemaking kit is enough for eight batches of cheese\u2014from mozzarella to burrata, ricotta to mascarpone\u2014so you can whip some up whenever you need it.<\/p>\n

3. Cheese Grotto<\/a>, $125+<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a reason mongers wrap cheese in wax paper, not plastic wrap\u2014it needs to breathe. If you\u2019re buying cheese from the grocery store that\u2019s wrapped within an inch of its life, remove it once you get home and pop it in this cheese grotto. You can keep it in your fridge, just be sure to pull it out about an hour before you\u2019re ready to serve so it can warm up. And remember: If your cheese is sweaty, it\u2019s ready!<\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Jasper Hill Farm Cheese Tasting Box<\/a>, $60+<\/h3>\n

Is there anything better than a box of cheese delivered to your front door? Jasper Hill has become a household name, and there’s a reason their Harbison and Winnimere are constantly on mongers\u2019 lists of favorite cheeses. With these boxes, you\u2019ll taste cheese you may not be able to find at your local grocery store, and trust me, you\u2019ll find a new favorite along the way.<\/p>\n

5. Soft Cheese Cutter<\/a>, $50+<\/h3>\n

No, we\u2019re not making pottery\u2014we\u2019re cutting cheese with string. Hear me out: Once a soft cheese is warm and ready to eat, it can be tough to cut. That’s where this Boska cheese cutter comes into play. It slides through anything from Camembert to Sainte-Maure without crushing it or making a mess, and it can even be used for crumbly cheeses that can fall apart when cut with a knife (I see you, blue!).<\/p>\n

6. Microplane Elite Box Grater<\/a>, $40<\/h3>\n

Sometimes the preferred method of eating cheese isn\u2019t straight from the block, but tossed, melted, and emulsified into a bowl of pasta. Those of us who have tried to make a bowl of cacio e pepe<\/a> and ended up with a stringy, oily mess, know that the pecorino has to be grated like snow. For this, you need a very specific grater. This microplane box grater’s smallest side will turn any hard cheese block into dust, primed for pasta.<\/p>\n

7. Bushwick Kitchen Spicy Honey Duo<\/a>, $28<\/h3>\n

We all have a jar of fig jam we pull out when people come over, but this spread has had plenty of time in the spotlight. Instead, opt for something that will surprise your guests: spicy honey. It\u2019s good on everything, from fresh ch\u00e8vre to Comt\u00e9, is sweet and spicy, and will make you fall in love with your favorite cheeses all over again.<\/p>\n
