There are products that, because of their tradition, flavor, and quality, can be an ideal gift at any time of the year, which is why we want to give you ideas for gifting baskets of Manchego cheeses.
As you know, in our Manchego cheese shop you can find a wide variety of cheeses, such as mild, semi-cured, cured, aged, in oil, or new specialties like truffle cheese, in lard, or with rosemary.
If you’re going to give baskets of Manchego cheeses, the most important thing is to think about the tastes of the person or people who will receive the gift.
From Quesería Gómez Moreno, we want to give you different ideas to organize your Manchego cheese baskets so you can accompany them in the best way..
Basket of assorted cheese wedges
If you don’t know the tastes of the person you want to give the gift to, the best option is to go for an assortment of wedges of different types of cheese—you’ll surely get it right.
We recommend the assortment of wedges and cream cheese, which contains 1 tub of cream cheese and 6 wedges of different types of cheeses from Herencia Gómez Moreno and Carpuela.
Basket of Manchego cheeses and wines
There are combinations that never fail, and if you’re thinking of preparing a gift, the combination of cheese and wine is always a winner.
Although the cheeses in your basket don’t necessarily have to pair with the wines that accompany them, we advise that they do, to give your gift more personality.
Remember that in our blog you can read more about which types of wines pair well with Manchego cheeses.
Selection of the best award-winning cheeses
Another good option is to go for quality, and what better way than by choosing baskets of award-winning Manchego cheeses.
You can choose between wedges or whole cheeses awarded in both national and international competitions, ensuring they are of exceptional quality.
Manchego cheese and craft beer baskets
The beer market is changing; now people are going for signature beers, those craft beers with their own identity, such as La Maldita beers.
This is very similar to what happens in the world of cheeses—each master cheesemaker gives identity to their product—so the pairing of cheeses and beers can be a great way to succeed.
Nowadays it’s relatively easy to find craft beers; you’ll just have to choose the one that pairs best with your selection of cheeses.
Baskets of cheeses and other foods
Another good idea is to diversify, and you can do this by making a basket that combines other foods around a Manchego cheese, such as products that can’t be missing from a celebration—like pâtés, ham, cured pork loin, etc.
You can also combine it with Christmas sweets like marzipan, shortbread, or nougat if the basket is for these festive dates.
Another good pairing is jams, which go very well with different cheeses.
Cheese baskets for pregnant women
If you’re thinking of giving a gift to a pregnant woman, don’t worry—you can get our pasteurized cheeses, which are suitable for them.
For this, you can opt for our cheeses under the “Don Gregorio” brand, a cheese suitable for everyone, which also in 2019 was awarded a silver medal at the International Cheese Awards.
A cheese basket for the little ones at home
If your gift is aimed at children, you can always go for an original idea, such as combining fresh cheese and fruits.
This is a different gift that, if you organize it well, will be very appealing for its colorfulness and for how delicious the combination can be.
You can also give it a different touch by adding some chocolate to the basket.
We hope you’ve enjoyed these ideas for gifting baskets of Manchego cheeses, always thinking of the person who will receive the gift and adapting them to their tastes.
Finally, remember that you can also go for a whole cheese in a gift box, a family gift that will always be a hit.
You can also choose the option of having it prepared in vacuum-packed wedges, making it much easier for the recipient to store.
