The gingerbread man on Boarderie’s Christmas board is made of peppered white cheddar. The candy cane is yellow cheddar. Apparently, the cookie platter has competition.
The brand’s Christmas cheese and charcuterie collection puts those little cheese cutouts among sliced meats, nuts, dried fruit and other grazing-board ingredients. The boards arrive arranged, and the prices start at $139. This is firmly in food-gift territory.
The $139 Classic is the smallest option
The Classic Christmas board is listed at $139, with a stated serving range of two to three people. It comes on a reusable 9-inch-square acacia board with crackers and bamboo serving utensils.
Alongside the holiday-shaped cheddar, the lineup includes Gouda, cranberry Wensleydale, salami, chorizo, olives and nuts. The shapes do the festive work; you don’t have to cut a block of cheese into a tiny person yourself.
What changes when you go bigger?
The Medium is $169, a $30 step up. Its board measures 17 by 7.5 inches, and its cheese selection includes apple-smoked cheddar and fig-and-rose goat cheese. Check the full ingredient list for the size you choose, because these aren’t identical assortments in larger boxes.
The Large is $249, with a stated serving range of 10 to 14 people and a 17-by-13-inch board. It adds a holiday-tree cheese shape, more cheese varieties, four cured meats and three boxes of crackers.
Those prices are the listings checked October 14, before tax, optional extras or any applicable delivery surcharge. The serving ranges are Boarderie’s estimates; a snack before dinner and the main food for a party are different jobs.
Check the delivery details before sending one
Boarderie advertises free overnight shipping, but its shipping policy says certain major-holiday delivery dates may carry a surcharge. You choose the delivery date at checkout, so check both the available date and final total there.
The company recommends arrival at least a day before a specific occasion and doesn’t guarantee a delivery time. Its delay-refund terms also differ depending on whether you keep the optional package protection.
If you’re sending one as a gift, make sure the recipient can receive a perishable package and refrigerate it. Check the ingredient and care information for the exact board, too. The cheese gingerbread man is cute, but it still needs a refrigerator.
