The Wisconsin Cheese Wedges of Love are a new lineup of curated cheeses from the brand that are targeted towards consumers who are in search of an alternative type of Valentine's Day gift this season. The product range includes nine items in total that are each packaged in a keepsake container and are arranged to look like a bouquet of flowers. The product is thus ideal for gifting occasions in place of conventional flowers to encourage recipients to eat their gift upon being received.
Chief Marketing Officer Susanne Fanning commented on the Wisconsin Cheese Wedges of Love saying, "Designed to rival the drama of flowers and the indulgence of fine chocolate, Wedges of Love celebrates Wisconsin’s unmatched cheesemaking heritage, obsessive craftsmanship, and unapologetic love for doing cheese better than anywhere else on earth.”
