Saxelby's Connoisseur's Club is for the true curd nerd who seeks the most special and exciting products! Four times a year, we'll ship a curated selection of cheese designed to illuminate the wonderful, seasonal world of cheese! You’ll get the absolute best each season has to offer, in a way that provides a deep dive into different aspects of cheesemaking. Delivered four times annually: In February, May, August, and November. On average, each box contains about 1.5 pounds of cheese.
Summer: Product of the Pasture- In the springtime, cows, goats, and sheep can once again graze on fresh pasture. Then in the summer, seasonal cheeses made from this pasture-fed milk are finished aging and available to the public! Pasture-fed milk is truly special, so special that some dairies, Meadow Creek for example, only make cheese when their animals are on pasture. Nutrients from the fresh grass, and other meadow plants in the pasture, give body and nuance to cheese that can’t be found anywhere else. Your summer Connoisseur’s Club shipment will feature two noteworthy, seasonally available, pasture-fed cheeses, plus one club-exclusive addition that we’re super excited about right now. Shipping the week of August 24th. Your Summer 2026 Connoisseur's Club shipment includes:
Grayson: Made by the aforementioned Meadow Creek Dairy, Grayson represents the epitome of seasonal dairying. Becoming available early every summer, it’s pudgy, fudgy, gooey, and grassy. A classic for a reason.
Swallow Tail Tomme: Another grassy, seasonal staple. Stony Pond Farm's cows are rotationally grazed on nutrient-rich, certified organic pasture. The care that goes into their pasture management is truly evident in the cheese!
A Top-Secret Wheel from Our Friends at Blakesville Creamery: Award-winning, rich, velvety, and luscious. Subscribe to get a taste!

Fall: Cheese as it Ages- Affinage, the art of aging cheese, is one of the most magical parts of the cheesemaking process. Everyone knows age is paramount in winemaking, and the world of cheese is no different. Many cheesemakers offer different age profiles of their cheeses, and in this Connoisseur’s Club shipment, you get to taste them side by side, to see how their flavors develop, change, and intensify. Shipping in November. Date and selection TBD.
Winter: Fireside Cheeses- The snowy depths of winter are some of the most wonderful times to enjoy cheese. Gooey and rich wheels draw friends and family together like nothing else! This soft, melty shipment will make you feel warm and cozy before it even hits your doorstep. Shipping in February. Date and selection TBD.
Spring: Cheese is in the Air- Spring is in the air and so are limited seasonal cheeses! The Spring 2026 Connoisseur’s Club selection celebrates what can only be available right now: bright goat's milk that brings a sharp twist to tommes, a seasonal surplus of cream for bloomy rind buttons, and winter cow's milk in a Welsh-inspired wonder that's finally aged to perfection. When the air starts to get warmer, cows, goats, and sheep have their young, so their milk is extra jam-packed with the nutrients their babies need. It’s a big win for their little guys, but also a big win for cheese! Not to mention the very start of the animals returning to pasture, to graze on their favorite grasses and herbs. Shipping in May. Date and selection TBD.
