Cheese Brothers Review: Wisconsin Charcuterie Box
Cheese Brothers Wisconsin Charcuterie Box: A Closer Look
Wisconsin's cheesemaking reputation is well earned, and Cheese Brothers built its Charcuterie Box around that heritage — pairing several small-batch Wisconsin cheeses with cured meat and a specialty jam. Our review team broke down exactly what ships in the box, where the components come from, and how the $62.95 price (down from a regular $69.95) compares to what you're actually getting.
What's Included in the Box
The Charcuterie Box is built for variety rather than volume, with seven distinct components:
- Dill Havarti — 6 oz block
- Fratello — 6 oz block
- Smoked Gouda — 6 oz block
- Yodel — 6 oz block
- 8-Year Aged Cheddar — 5 oz block
- Wisconsin summer sausage — 8 oz, from Barron Sausage Co.
- Cherry Lavender Jam — 8 oz jar, from Bushel and Pecks of Beloit, Wisconsin
That's four different 6 oz cheese blocks spanning a range of flavor profiles — from the herbal brightness of Dill Havarti to the deep smokiness of the Smoked Gouda — plus a 5 oz block of 8-Year Aged Cheddar for shoppers who want a sharper, more concentrated cheese in the mix.
The Supporting Cast: Sausage and Jam
Rather than shipping cheese alone, Cheese Brothers rounds out the box with a Wisconsin summer sausage sourced from Barron Sausage Co. and a Cherry Lavender Jam from Bushel and Pecks, a Beloit, Wisconsin-based jam maker. The jam pairing is a nice touch for a charcuterie board — cherry and lavender is an unusual but complementary flavor combination against sharper aged cheeses, and it signals that Cheese Brothers is curating a full snacking board experience rather than just bundling cheese blocks together.
Sourcing and Shipping
Cheese Brothers ships this box from Almena, Wisconsin, and uses insulated boxes with gel ice packs for orders that need temperature protection above 60°F. That's a standard and sensible approach for perishable cheese and sausage shipments, and it suggests the company has thought through the cold-chain logistics that matter for a product like this arriving intact and food-safe.
Value Assessment
At $62.95 for roughly 2.4 lbs of cheese plus 8 oz of sausage and 8 oz of jam, this sits in the premium specialty-gift-box tier rather than everyday grocery pricing — which tracks, since the appeal here is curation, small-batch sourcing, and gifting presentation rather than bulk value. For holiday gifting, client gifts, or a well-stocked charcuterie board for a gathering, the variety of five distinct cheeses plus sausage and jam gives hosts plenty of pairing options without having to shop five separate specialty stores.
Editor's Take
The Cheese Brothers Charcuterie Box succeeds mainly on variety and sourcing transparency — five distinctly different Wisconsin cheeses, a regional sausage maker, and a specialty jam maker are all named specifically rather than left vague, which is a good sign for a mail-order specialty food product. The discounted $62.95 price versus the $69.95 regular price adds some value on top of an already well-curated assortment.
