For those who are hands-on gift givers, it's simple to use creativity to come up with and shop for the perfect cheese gift. "With a cheese selection as broad as Wisconsin's, you're bound to find selections that make your basket very special to those on your holiday gift list, no matter what their tastes," said Marilyn Wilkinson of the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. "Take the Italian-food lover as an example. A colorful ceramic pasta bowl or pot filled with Italian-inspired Wisconsin cheeses - such as aged Provolone, Asiago, or Parmesan - a jar of traditional marinara sauce, a package of dried pasta and a bottle of red wine would make an ideal gift and a convenient, delicious meal."
