The Best Cheese Subscription Box for Serious Cheese Lovers
If you’re a serious cheese lover (the kind who dreams in cheddar and counts aged Gouda as a close friend), then a cheese subscription box might just be your personal heaven. After all, what could be better than a monthly cheese subscription delivering artisanal delights to your door?
We’re here to introduce you to Gardner’s Wisconsin Cheese’s very own curated cheese & meat subscription box, a service we wholeheartedly believe is the best cheese subscription box for true turophiles (that’s fancy talk for cheese fanatics). This isn’t just any subscription; it’s a curated cheese adventure packed with heritage, flavor, and yes, a whole lot of cheesy puns. So sit back, relax, and let us share why Gardner’s cheese subscription is really a big cheese in the world of subscription boxes.
Wisconsin Heritage & Small-Batch Craftsmanship
Gardner’s Wisconsin Cheese isn’t some newcomer jumping on the cheese boxbandwagon, we’re a family-owned business with deep roots in America’s Dairyland. In fact, the Gardner family has been involved in Wisconsin dairy for four generations, ever since Grandpa started a tiny creamery in Loyal, WI over 75 years ago. Wisconsin is famous for its cheesemaking heritage, and Gardner’s carries on that proud tradition. Every cheese in your box comes straight from central Wisconsin, made with local milk and old-fashioned know-how.
Based in central Wisconsin, Gardner’s has access to some of the best milk in the country. All of our cheeses are made with high-quality dairy, and carry the “Proudly Wisconsin Cheese” badge. Each artisan cheese is crafted with care, delivering bold flavors and farm-fresh quality in every box.
Unlike mass-produced cheese, our selections are made in small batches by real pros who know their curds from their whey. From cellar-aged cheddars to herb-infused creations, every bite offers a uniquely Wisconsin experience. It’s like joining a VIP cheese club one delicious delivery at a time. Pretty grate, right?
Unique Cheeses You Won’t Find Elsewhere
One thing’s for sure: Gardner’s cheese box isn’t a boring “mild cheddar and a random Brie” situation. We load your subscription with unique offerings that will make any cheese connoisseur’s heart melt. We’re talking inventive Wisconsin originals and rare aged cheeses that turn your cheese board into a conversation piece. Here are just a few of the star players that could make an appearance in your box:
-
8-Year Super Sharp Cheddar – This cheddar isn’t called super sharp for nothing. Aged for a full eight years, it develops a smooth yet crumbly texture and a tangy bite that packs a flavorful punch. It’s the kind of cheddar that makes your taste buds sit up and say “Holy cow!” (Literally – thank you, Wisconsin cows!).
-
Italian Herb Bruschetta Cheddar – A cheddar with an Italian accent! This one starts as a creamy Wisconsin cheddar, then gets infused with a medley of Italian bruschetta-inspired herbs and veggies. Imagine the flavors of tomato, garlic, basil, and parsley mingling right into the cheese.
-
Holey Smoked Swiss & Cheddar – Don’t let the punny name “Holey” fool you. This cheese means business. It’s a unique combo of Swiss and cheddar cheeses that is very creamy. The two cheeses mingle to create a slightly sweet, almond-like nuttiness that’s not too sharp, and then each block is naturally hickory smoked to infuse a campfire-kissed, smoky flavor.
-
Aged Gouda – Wisconsin might be famous for cheddar, but wait till you try our Aged Gouda. This Gouda is a fan favorite that showcases a nutty, slightly sweet flavor with hints of caramel. Aged just enough to deepen the taste while staying smooth and sliceable, it’s extremely versatile.
And that’s just a taste (pun intended) of the cheeses you might get. Gardner’s lineup is always evolving with new, creative flavors, from a zesty Buffalo Wing Jack to a smoky Bacon Cheddar or even seasonal specialties. The key is variety. Over time, your cheese subscription will introduce you to everything from classic cheddars to adventurous blends you never knew existed. Each cheese comes in a healthy-sized block (usually about 6 oz), so there’s plenty to share… or not share, as the case may be.
More Than Cheese: A Meat and Cheese Subscription Box with Pairings Galore
Here’s where Gardner’s really out-cheeses the competition: it’s not just about cheese! Yes, you read that right. Our subscription box not only includes an assortment of high-quality cheeses but ALSO artisan meats and tasty pairings! It’s like getting a mini gourmet picnic each month. Other cheese clubs just send you cheese; Gardner’s sends you an entire cheese board in a box.
What kind of extras are we talking about? For starters, artisan cured meats straight from Wisconsin’s smokehouses and butcher shops. You might unwrap a pack of Dill Pickle Meat Sticks, which are smoked beef sticks infused with real dill pickle flavor, or you might get Spicy Beef Snack Sticks, perfect for those who like a little heat to complement their cheese.
Next, Gardner’s curates scrumptious pairings and condiments to accompany the cheese. For example, the Hot Honey Drizzle has quickly become a customer favorite. It’s a bottle of golden honey laced with a spicy chili twist, ideal for drizzling over a chunk of aged cheddar or melting into a baked Brie (if you feel fancy). Prefer something smoky and sweet? Enter our Hot Pepper Bacon Jam. This magical spread combines the sweetness of jam with real bacon bits and a touch of hot pepper.
In short, each monthly box is a curated tasting experience. One month, you might unwrap a spread of bold cheeses and handcrafted cured meats paired with a gourmet mustard. The next, a new selection of cheeses and savory charcuterie complemented by an unexpected, one-of-a-kind jam. We make sure you have everything you need for an epic cheese feast. It’s a flavor party in a box, and you’re invited!
Farm-Fresh Flavor in Every Box, Shipped Fast
Great cheese only matters if it arrives fresh, and we ensure it does. Each order is cold-packed with care, using insulated packaging and ice packs tailored to your local weather. Whether it’s sweltering in Arizona or snowing in Minnesota, your cheese stays at the perfect temperature. Most boxes ship early in the week and arrive within 1–2 days, so your cheese never lingers in a warehouse over the weekend.
Gardner’s ships nationwide, even to Alaska and Hawaii, so anyone can enjoy a true taste of Wisconsin. Even ultra-perishable items like cheese curds show up squeaky fresh… seriously, you’ll hear it!.
Worried about too much cheese? (Is that even a thing?) Unopened cheeses stay fresh in the fridge for months, thanks to vacuum-sealing and proper aging. And if you’re lucky enough to score our 8-Year Super Sharp Cheddar, it only gets better with time (if you can resist eating it right away).
Bottom line: Gardner’s handles the logistics so you can focus on what matters: digging into farm-fresh cheese without lifting a finger.

Every month’s selection is a bit different: you’ll get to try best-sellers as well as new items we’re excited about. One thing is constant though: you’ll always get way more than you pay for. Talk about getting your cheese’s worth!
