As the New Year begins, it’s the perfect time to set resolutions—and not just for your fitness goals or personal growth, but for your love of cheese too! Whether you’re a cheese connoisseur or just starting to explore this delicious world, 2025 is the year to expand your horizons and savor more cheesy goodness. Here are our top cheese resolutions to inspire your journey this year:
1. Try a New Cheese Every Month
With so many varieties to choose from, why stick to the same old favorites? Make it a goal to try one new cheese every month. From the creamy richness of Brie to the bold tang of Asiago, there’s always something new to discover. Start with our Top Ten Cheeses of 2024 for inspiration!
2. Perfect Your Cheeseboard Skills
Cheeseboards are an art form, and 2025 is your year to master them. Experiment with different arrangements, add seasonal fruits and nuts, and pair your cheeses with crackers or fresh-baked bread.
3. Host a Cheese-Tasting Party
Gather your friends for a fun and flavorful event. Offer a mix of familiar classics and adventurous options, and pair them with wines, beers, or sparkling juices. Create tasting cards with notes about each cheese to make it a learning experience for everyone.
4. Explore Regional Cheeses
Expand your palate by exploring cheeses from different regions. Taste the sharp cheddars of Vermont, the creamy Swiss varieties of the Midwest, or even dive into the world of imported cheeses. Don’t forget to support local artisans and try their unique creations!
5. Incorporate Cheese into New Recipes
Cheese makes everything better! Resolve to add it to your cooking in creative ways. Think beyond pizza and mac & cheese—try cheesy breakfast casseroles, savory tarts, or even desserts like cheesecake.
6. Learn How Cheese Is Made
Take your cheese appreciation to the next level by learning about its production. Visit a local creamery, watch documentaries, or read up on the cheesemaking process. It’s fascinating to see how milk transforms into the cheeses we love.
7. Build the Ultimate Cheese Pairing Toolkit
Pairing cheese with the right accompaniments can elevate your tasting experience. Experiment with wines, fruits, nuts, and spreads to find combinations that delight your taste buds. Keep track of your favorites to build your personal cheese-pairing toolkit.
8. Share the Love of Cheese
Spread your love of cheese by gifting it to friends and family. A carefully selected cheese sampler or a Simply Cheese gift certificate makes the perfect present for any occasion. Plus, you’ll be introducing them to your favorite Simply Cheese products!
9. Support Artisan Cheesemakers
Make it a priority to support small, local cheesemakers in 2025. Their dedication to quality and tradition brings us some of the best cheeses available. By buying from them, you’re helping to keep this craft alive and thriving.
This year, let your love of cheese take center stage. Whether you’re exploring new varieties, hosting tastings, or perfecting your cooking skills, there are endless ways to make 2025 a year full of cheesy delights.
Happy New Year from all of us at Simply Cheese! Here’s to a year of great flavors and unforgettable cheese experiences.
