These are the supplier's current listed contents. Weather and availability can lead to substitutions of equal or greater value; the replacement's ingredients, allergens, size and origin can differ. Confirm essential items before ordering.

Ingredients & Allergen Information

The cheeses contain milk. The supplier states that Sweet Hot Mustard is not gluten free, so this assortment should not be presented as a gluten-free gift. Full ingredient panels and the complete allergen profile for the exact cheeses, crackers, sausages and mustard still require confirmation. Review the labels again if seasonal cheese replacements are supplied.

For help reading package declarations, see the FDA guide to food allergen labels.

Storage & Serving

Refrigeration is required when the box contains the listed Tillamook cheeses. The supplier says smoked Gouda and vintage Cheddar replace Tillamook during May through September; follow the labels on the cheeses actually delivered. Its unopened summer sausage is described as shelf stable, with refrigeration after opening. Do not use the sausage's unopened-storage guidance for the full box.

Arrange the original and garlic sausages separately so guests can choose a flavor, with the two cheeses and crackers alongside. Offer mustard in its own dish with a clean spoon. This box suits a recipient who prefers a savory assortment, but the number of guests it will serve depends on portion size and other food provided. No fixed serving count has been verified.

Use clean utensils and follow the FoodSafety.gov handling guidance when arranging food.
