WELCOME TO THE VIVA PRIMAVERA CURDBOX As the chill of winter fades and Spain celebrates the warmth, the familiar feeling of Viva Primavera!—Spanish for “long live spring!”— begins, while the countryside bursts into life with fresh energy. This season of renewal is not only a feast for the senses with blooming landscapes and longer days but also a crucial time for Spain's dedicated cheesemakers. With lush pastures nourished by spring rains and animals thriving on the season's fresh grasses, the quality of milk reaches its peak, shaping the rich and diverse flavors of Spain's celebrated cheeses. From the rugged mountains to sun-drenched valleys, the arrival of spring sets the stage for an exceptional period of cheesemaking— where tradition and nature come together in perfect harmony.So let's take a look and see what we brought you in this month's box...Visit curdbox.com for more info.Please visit some of our cheese and pairing partners in this month's box: @formatgessantgil, @forevercheeseco, @quesoloscameros, and @eatdivina.

WELCOME TO THE MOUNTAIN TOP CURDBOX High in the mountains, where lush pastures meet the crisp, clean air of the Alps, a tradition of cheese-making as old as the peaks themselves continues to flourish. And it's in this idyllic setting that Alpine-inspired cheeses take shape—with their flavors deeply tied to the land. These cheeses are celebrated for their texture, as well as a delicate saltiness that highlights their natural richness, and a super melt-ability that makes them a culinary favorite worldwide. But what truly sets them apart is the way the mountain environ- ment—with its wildflower-filled meadows, pure water, and cool, slow-aging conditions—infuses every wheel with the essence of the landscape. So this month, we dive into some of these remarkable cheeses, to uncover how the Alpine regions and their cheesemaking methods come together to create flavors that are as timeless as the mountains themselves. So let's take a look and see what we brought you in this month's box...Visit curdbox.com for more info.Please visit some of our cheese and pairing partners in this month's box: @springbrookfarmcheese, @centralcoastcreamery, @gourminoltd, @schallerweber, @eatdivina, and @clovisreims. 

WELCOME TO THE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN CURDBOX As October nights grow longer and a subtle chill fills the air, Halloween takes on a timeless charm, where the past and present seem to dance together. Shadows cast by carved pumpkins sway gently across the scene, casting an atmosphere where the excitement of Halloween seamlessly intertwines with the quiet beauty of age and change. In this gradual shift, aged cheeses take on a mystical allure—their weathered textures and deep aromas embody the essence of autumn's transformation. The perfect blend of the vintage and the mysterious serves as a reminder of time's patient touch—and the magic of the season.

In this week's episode, we are talking to writer, author, editor, food expert and Cheese Maven, Hannah Howard who recently published her second book, “Plenty: A Memoir of Food and Family” celebrating the many, often unseen, pockets of women in the food world. We talk about her journey into food, starting with her mother (who is one of the women featured in her book) all the way through her years in New York eating, drinking, serving, bartending, cooking on hot lines, and flipping giant wheels of cheese in Manhattan institutions such as Picholine and Fairway Market to her current work elevating women's voices in food through her writing. Along the way, she vulnerably shares about her journey through the “dark side of having a food passion” — her experience with eating disorders and how she turned her deepest shadow into an enlightened gift while dancing the fine line between passion and obsession. This is the topic of her first book, “Feast”. We learn how she went from fine french dining, to corporate food, and eventually to becoming a food writer, all while following a growing love for cheese. Hannah tells us how she was blessed with great mentorship in many different moments, but was always seeking the women mentors in the industry. This desire led her on a quest to find where these women are are in the food world and a journey through the lives of many incredible women in food (and cheese!). Women + Food is a simple equation that can result in an enormous diversity of careers — each woman finding her own path to success reflective of her unique self. Similarly, cheese is the combination of simple ingredients that can result in an enormous diversity of flavors — each one reflecting its own source and environment. Just in time for holiday celebrations, Hannah gives us some cheese basics and guides us on how to put together a wonderful Cheese Plate for any occasion. Join us as we play cheese pairing games and geek out on all kinds of cheese knowledge!

We're busting into fall with a total banger: Warner's Wonders. This box was a collaboration with Food Network Star Justin Warner (@EatFellowHumans), who wanted some unusual (dare we say, outside the box) cheeses and pairings. What we have are three totally different cheeses and three totally different pairings that come together in a totally delicious box. In this podcast, you'll hear Jenn, Julie, and Justin nosh through the Ocooch Mountain Cheese from Hidden Springs Creamery, Humboldt Fog from Cypress Grove, and Willoughby from Jasper Hill. Pairing up, we have Lemon Pepper Biltong by Brooklyn Biltong, Guava Toasted Corn Crackers by Craize, and Turmeric Garlic Popped Water Lily Seeds by AshaPops.

August is here, and we're madly trying to fit in all of the summer in the last few weeks before fall arrives—a fruitless endeavor that has us a little nutty, all the more perfect for our Going Nuts curdbox. In this podcast, you'll hear Jenn and Julie nosh through three nutty cheeses: Bandage Wrapped Cheddar by Fiscalini Farmstead, 36-month Gouda by Artikaas, and Tres Leches by La Gruta del Sol. To pair, they're eating the Gilded Nut's Original Blend pistachios, The Casa Market's Guava Past with Pecans, and Cranberry Hazlenut Crisps by Potter's Crackers.

It's July, and even though our box isn't exactly timely for our national Independence Day, we still wanted to get in on the fun, so we're here with our Red Wine and Blue box. In this podcast, you'll hear Jenn and Julie chow down on Ewenique by Central Coast Creamery, Moody Blue by Roth Cheese, and Brillo Pecorino Divino by Il Forteto (Note: due to a last minute cheese swap, the actual cheese in the box was another red wine soaked Italian cheese: Ubriaco del Piave by Moro Formaggi). To pair, they're eating the Maple Bacon Onion Spread from Brownwood Farms, Almond Bites by Almondina, and Dried Cranberries and Blueberries from Vincent Family Cranberries.
