Rumiano Cheese Company brand Board at Home -- specializing in a rotating selection of DIY cheese, charcuterie and snack platter kits -- launched an artisanal cheese board kit earlier this year in celebration of Halloween. Titled the 'Spooky One,' the kit featured a tasty cheese selection along with condiments and savory biscuits for the perfect DIY cheese plate creation.
Board at Home's Spooky One cheese board kit was offered for a limited time and consisted of Traditional Brie from Marin French Cheese, Fiscalini Cheese Company's Bandage Wrapped Cheddar, The Rustic Bakery's Spooky Ghosts Cookies, Small Batch Jam Company's Strawberry Champagne Jam and a package of Napa Nuts' Gourmet Mixed Berries. The kit was priced at $75 and was specially curated to "support California’s small-scale cheese producers, dairy farmers, and other artisanal makers."
