Cheese - a fail-proof appetizer idea! But, if you're the one standing in front of the case looking at some 400 different cheeses, which one should you pick? Some of our favorites include:

Raw Milk Sharp Cheddar
This limited edition hand-crafted cheese has been aged 6 months to develop its perfect, sharp flavor. Creamy and delicious, this cheese will quickly become a favorite.

Wensleydale with Cranberries
Made in England, this creamy cheese is made with cow's milk and blended with dried cranberries.

Stilton with Mango and Ginger
This creamy white English Stilton is studded with chunks of dried mango and crystallized ginger and has become a real Fresh Market favorite.

Parmesan Reggiano
Every wheel of Parmesan Reggiano that we carry has been carefully aged for two years and is stamped with an export seal of authenticity. That means you are getting the very best Parmesan that Italy has to offer. You'll truly taste the difference!

Fromage d'Affinois
A unique soft ripening Brie-style cheese made using a patented ultra filtration process which makes it extremely creamy and buttery. Perfect when paired with fresh fruit and wine.

Manchego
Made in the La Mancha region of Spain, our Manchego is aged 6 months and has a slightly sharp flavor. Manchego pairs nicely with Marcona almonds, quince paste and Spanish Rioja wine.

Le Roule
These cheeses have quickly become Fresh Market favorites and we are excited to offer them again this year. Both flavors are swirled and are beautiful additions to any cheese platter. Le Roule with Cranberry is rolled with fresh cranberries and is a terrific dessert cheese, while Le Roule with Garlic & Herb is a rich, savory selection ideal for spreading onto a cracker or baguette.

Now that you've picked your cheese, you may need some cracker ideas. For the most fabulous base for the yummiest of cheeses try:

Ines Rosales Sweet Olive Oil Tortas
Handmade in a small village near Seville since 1910, each torta is flattened by local women and hand-wrapped in wax paper. These all-natural, slightly sweet tortas are light, delicate and crisp and delicious with cheese, tea and coffee.

Lesley Stowe's Raincoast Crisps
Delightfully crisp crackers available in unique flavor combinations such as Cranberry Hazelnut, Fig and Olive and Rosemary Raisin Pecan.
