Paxton & Whitfield Cheese Club subscription

• Available from Paxton & Whitfield (from £120)

For a gift that keeps on giving, a cheese subscription is sure to be a popular choice with any cheese lover.

On the website, you can find detailed, clear information on how to care for your cheeses, as well as how to cut your selection – all of which is particularly handy if you're just starting to get more serious about cheese tasting.
