Gift ideas: cheese and honey tasting box

A good gastronomic gift doesn't have to be complicated — it just has to be well thought out. Since alfalfa honey became part of the Valserena family, we have realized how many simple but effective combinations can be created with our various maturations of Parmigiano Reggiano.

The basic pairing: one maturation, one honey

The simplest gift, and often the most appreciated: a piece of Parmigiano Reggiano paired with a jar of honey chosen for its compatibility.

Three proven combinations

Delicate flavors: 12-20 month Parmigiano + 250g alfalfa honey. Bold flavor: 36 month Parmigiano + Gainago wildflower honey. To impress: Il Cuore Valserena + 370g alfalfa honey.

For those organizing corporate gifts

If you are thinking of a gift for employees, clients, or suppliers (we also discuss this on our page dedicated to corporate Christmas gifts), the cheese and honey pairing works particularly well: it showcases two products from the same direct supply chain all at once.

"It’s the type of gift that invites you to share it immediately, perhaps the very evening it is received."

A last-minute idea: the DIY serving board

A wooden board, two or three pieces of Parmigiano of different ages, and a jar of alfalfa honey to leave in the center, with a spoon provided.
