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.
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 spring cow's milk that brings a lemon-y tang to a Welsh-inspired wonder. 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 the week of June 1. Your Spring 2026 Connoisseur’s shipment includes:
Myfawny: We're only selling this limited edition cheese in our Spring Connoisseur's Club box! It's a hyper-seasonal cheese from Cato Corner Farm that only ages to perfection in late spring. They make just one or two batches each winter, when the cows' dry hay diet yields milk with very high fat and protein. By spring, the cheese is ready! Styled after a Welsh cheese popular with miners, it's dense with a buttery lilt. Think cheddar, but lighter and springier.
Sherry Gray: Cows produce the most milk in spring and summer, so cheesemakers get creative with the abundance. A surplus of cream at Jasper Hill Farm gets added to this ash-ripened, bloomy rind beauty. Sherry Gray is only made this time of year. It's ultra buttery, gooey on the inside, and full of floral sweet cream flavors.
Wilde Goat: This spring and summer special features goat's milk mixed with protein-rich Jersey cow's milk for a limited time when goats are lactating. Together they provide Wilde Goat best of both worlds: the Alpine depth of cow's milk and the sharp brightness of goat's milk. Mixed-milk cheeses are tricky to make, insightful to taste, and delicious to eat!

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 three noteworthy, seasonally available, pasture-fed cheeses! Shipping in August, date and selection TBD.
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.
