Williams Sonoma Taste of Europe Cheese Gift Crate

Summary

A perfect host or business gift – or simply great to have on hand during the holidays – our gift crate showcases a trio of best-in-class cheeses from France, Italy and Spain. Also tucked inside the reusable wooden crate are delicious accompaniments: wildflower honey, dried fruits and almonds. Add a crusty baguette and a bottle of wine, and you have all the ingredients for a complete cheese board.

• 1 lb. 8 oz. cheese (8 oz. of each), 2 oz. honey, 3 oz. dried fruit and 3 oz. nuts.
