Best Cheese Markers
If you’ve ever put out a cheese plate at a dinner party or potluck, you know it can be a mixed blessing. You’re a hero for offering an excellent selection of cheeses, but you’re always interrupted by people asking what kind of cheese they’re eating. That’s where cheese markers come in. Identify every cheese on the plate with fun and stylish cheese markers. You can use cheese markers at home, at potlucks and family-style gatherings to identify varieties as well as vegan, gluten-free, and vegetarian options.
