From great goudas to celebrated cheddars, Wisconsin Cheese has earned its way into many cheese lover’s hearts. While the state boasts numerous award-winning cheesemakers and artisans, the attention to craft is just one aspect to the region’s delectable offerings. When someone wants to melt their way into another’s heart, Wisconsin Cheese is a tasty way to complete that love affair.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, finding that perfect gift which expresses those amorous feelings can be hard. Flowers can be beautiful, but they wilt. Candy is sweet, but it can melt. Why not give a gift that can be enjoyed morning, noon and night. Cheese is the universal love language.

Last year, the Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin gave away heart shaped boxes of cheese ahead of Valentine’s Day. While the cheese lovers of Wisconsin appreciate the gouda-ness of its bounty, the response was even “grater” than everyone expected.

As Suzanne Fanning, CMO of Wisconsin Cheese and SVP at Dairy Farmers of Wisconsin, said, “Thank you for letting us know that it’s not just those of us in Wisconsin who believe cheese is the universal love language.” While food is often the way that people express their emotions on the plate, now is the time to let cheese  to melt your way into their hearts.

Since a true love affair never fades, the heart-shaped cheese boxes are back for 2022. Are you ready to ask your beloved if they will slice off another year of romance with you?

According to Fanning, “After last year’s launch brought in over 20,000 entries, we knew we had to bring this back and deliver an even better experience for our biggest fans.”

The 2022 heart-shaped boxes from Wisconsin Cheese not only feature a selection of artisan cheeses but include a heart-shaped cheese board. Just think of the perfect way to plate the love for that special someone.

The selection of cheeses shows the depth of cheese craft in Wisconsin. While many people know the multi-generation cheesemakers or even the Master Cheesemakers with their list of accolades, the farmsteads are leading the way to innovate the industry. By blending craft and creativity, these artisan cheesemakers are providing the “grate-ness” of the region’s cheese.

While many people will open this heart and share it with others, one lucky winner will receive the ultimate cheese-adventure. In one box, the Crystal Wedge brings a trip for four to Wisconsin. The special getaway includes a special dinner with a top Wisconsin chef, a tour of a creamery and dairy farm and $500 to stock the fridge with “the world’s best cheese.”

To enter to win one of these special gifts, please visit the Wisconsin Cheese website for all the details on how to nominate someone.

From Valentine’s Day to any special occasion, an expression of love isn’t limited to words alone. Isn’t it time to get a little cheesy with your love language?
