Valentine's Day is one of our favorite holidays! We prefer to stay home and enjoy a romantic meal together rather than dealing with all the restaurant craziness. And of course, as my fellow cheese lovers will agree, wine and cheese is a must!
My husband and I love a good cheese platter and in our opinion, Cabot Cheese has some of the best flavored cheeses on the market. Whether we're creating a delicious cheese plate or using them to take our meals up a notch, they've become a staple in our home. We also love that we get to support a long-standing farmer co-op of hard working families throughout New England and New York in the process!

A Bit About the Cheeses
Each Cabot Cheese variety is made from pure, rich milk straight from the Cabot family farms, and after you taste how decadent they are, you'll understand why these cheeses have won awards! Considering the quality, we're surprised that they are so affordably priced. Here are a few of our favorite flavored cheddar cheese recommendations this Valentine's Day...
- Tomato Basil Cheddar Cheese: This is a family favorite! With the sweet taste of tomatoes and earthy hints of fine herbs, this creative flavor adds a little taste of the Italian countryside to Cabot's classic, smooth cheddar.
- Garlic Herb Cheddar Cheese: This cheese is the perfect balance of herbs, garlic and mild cheddar. Cabot recommends pairing it with crisp white wine, such as Pinot blanc. Personally, we love using it in mac-and-cheese! Check out the recipe below.
- Hand-Rubbed Tuscan Cheddar Cheese: This cheese is a must for your cheese platter! It is coated in classic Old World flavors like bell pepper, fennel, and onion which is in perfect contrast with the firm, smooth texture of the cheddar within. We recommend it as a fantastic way to elevate a meal as well!
- Hot Habanero Cheddar Cheese: If you like spice, this is the perfect Valentine's Day choice! Cabot describes this cheese as a biting combo of rich cheddar and spicy habanero and jalapeno peppers will have your taste buds crying, "Mercy!" before asking for more. We couldn't agree more. Pairs deliciously with red wine!
Cook with Cabot!
Rather than dining out this Valentine's Day, why not create your own romantic meals at home? Here are a few of our favorite recipes that will take you from breakfast to dessert.
