Spread the Cheer this Purim!!!
I was so excited when Tamar asked me to design a Mishloach Manot using Natural and Kosher Cheeses. I have always thought that a cheese board would make a great Mishloach Manot.
Cheeses pair well with bread, wine, and grapes (just to name a few), and with little effort can be arranged to make a striking presentation. Additionally, with all the nosh, cakes, and sweets everyone receives, your recipients will be thrilled to receive “real” food that they can nibble on and enjoy throughout the busy day.
The following is one arrangement that I came up with, but the presentation options are endless. So copy this idea or let your own creative flair express your own style. Either way, your friends, and family will “smile and say CHEESE!”
(Other suitable cheese companions: pears, crackers, olives)
You will need:
- Cheese board (I used a cutting board from a dollar store)
- Assortment of cheeses (I used Natural & Kosher Cheddar and Parmesan)
- Napkin
- Grapes
- Baguette
- Small bottle of wine
- Natural Grass
- Shrink wrap bag
- Cheese knife (available in many discount stores)
- Labels

Mac n’ cheese 🙂
I love the idea of a cheese basket with grapes.
I love the idea of giving something usable to provide a lasting memory of the holiday. You certainly can’t go wrong with Natural and Kosher cheeses.
I love ALL cheeses paired! mmmm
Great contest
I love this idea! Would use Natural and Kosher Brie and Camembert!
This is a great idea. I would put in some fancy crackers and a variety of hard cheese. Yum.
crackers!
I would try to incorporate high quality cheeses, with great meat selections, really great tasting crackers, a selection of fine mustard’s, as well as things like a cheese board and knives. I really like making “baskets” to give away to people. They are also one of my favorite presents to receive!
looks so beautiful!
Cheese and fruit.

My first thought was grapes but it seems that they covered everything I could think of.
This looks awesome
Cheese, spreader, jam or chutney, crackers, hard salami, cheese board
I love cheddar cheese with whole wheat crackers, a sweet wine, and grapes or apples
assorted cheese & fruit, plus hamentashin (because it wouldn’t be a Purim basket without some)
I eat cheese with anything! But my fave has to be with apple.
baby gouda, some mozzarella and a sweet red wine
I would put a variety of cheeses to make everyone’s tastes happy for Purim-baby gouda, cheddar, string,and havarti, along with gluten free crackers and some rice cakes, with fruit too.
Since it is dairy, I would throw in some Swiss chocolate and then a bottle of Bartenura.
i would put california roasted almonds, string cheese, barlett pears, and healthy crackers
i love a ripe barlett pair with havarti cheese. hope i win! great idea for healthy mishloach manot!
I would put some smoked gouda & perhaps some hummus
Fancy hors d’oeuvres?
