    January 2022 Curdbox. Unboxing photo, 1 of 5. Outside the box.
    Daniel B.

    I'm reviewing Curds & Co's Curdbox cheese boxes for January, February, and March 2022. So, this review is 1-2 months late, but better late than never. My wife and I are fans of cheese and charcuterie. We order cheese and meat boards regularly when we dine out at restaurants. We also like to buy the cheese and meat trays at our local Wegmans in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Therefore, it was only natural for my sister to gift us a three-month Curdbox subscription. We received the following Curdbox cheese boxes: * January 2022 - It's All Greek to Me: https://youtu.be/htHMZpiQ6vI * February 2022 - Goatapalooza: https://youtu.be/lRHPxxFPSQw * March 2022 - Leading Ladies: https://youtu.be/69g9uEba2vA There are YouTube links above because for each month's Curdbox, there's a "Curdcast" podcast video you can watch as you enjoy your box. As a fan of podcasts, I think it's cool. The podcasts are educational and informative. They help you appreciate your Curdbox more by giving you background info, tasting notes and opinions, and more about the items contained in your Curdbox. There's also a Spotify music playlist for each month. I appreciate the work that founder Jenn Mason and her good friend and cohost Julie Fei-Fan Balzer put into the podcasts and I enjoyed eating along with them. I would actually cast them on the big screen in our living room while we unpackaged and ate the cheeses and other items. I also appreciate the thought that goes into each month's cheeses, pairings, and themes. Curdbox is a neat concept and is ideal for cheese-lovers. It's a high-quality production; definitely a great gift idea and I recommend it for that. So why only Yelp three stars ("OK") instead of four ("Good") or five ("Great") from me? Simply put, overall, I just thought the boxes were OK. While I like cheese and charcuterie boards, I definitely do not consider myself a cheese connoisseur. I say that because maybe I didn't appreciate the cheeses as much as a true connoisseur, like Jenn and Julie, would. I'm also not a fan of goat cheese so unfortunately, the February 2022 box was not for me. That said, my wife, who likes goat cheese, didn't really like the cheeses included in the February 2022 box either. For me, they were just too funky. My favorite cheeses were the Manouri by Byzantino from the January 2022 box and the Sagittarius by Shooting Star Creamery from the March 2022 box. The former was made with whey cheese and cream (yum) and the latter was made with sheep and cow milk. I guess I just prefer milder, creamier cheeses. If Curdbox taught me anything, it might be that. My favorite cheese pairings were Brewer's Baked Pita Chips (made with up-cycled grains, January 2022); Mrs. Miller's Homemade Guava Jam and the Isadore Nut Co. Lemon Rosemary Cashews, Pecans, Walnuts (February 2022); and the Lark Fine Foods Burnt Sugar Shortbread cookies (March 2022). The pairing foods are from smaller businesses, like products you'd expect to find at a fine food/gourmet retailer like The Fresh Market. It was interesting to learn about and explore some new specialty food brands. At the time of writing this review, Curdbox costs $49.95 plus shipping per monthly box if renewed on a monthly basis. You can save a few dollars per month if you prepay for three or six months upfront. For example, if you pay for six months at a time ($269.76 plus shipping), it works out to $44.95 plus shipping per monthly box.

    I know I'm probably supposed to tell you how amazing the cheese and specialty salami selections are at a spot called Curds & Co, but I just can't do it because I can't stop thinking about how incredibly curated their small but mighty beer, cider and wine selections are. Specialty grocers are in a tough market, where any import can likely be bought slightly cheaper online. That's the nature of the beast. But with an informed and knowledgeable staff, a can't-lose inventory where mistakes are simply impossible (but the likelihood of finding an entirely new brand of comestibles is incredibly high). If you are planning a holiday gathering and need memorable bites for your guests, stop in to Curds & Co and buy whatever you can. Your guests will thank you for it.

    Very cute cheese shop with lots of options from alcohol, cheese, snacks, deli meats, and quick bites. Service: amazing. The lady that was assisting me with my cheese choices was very helpful and patient. Instead of walking home with a full block of cheese you can buy small portions. Ambiance: vibrant and cool local vibes. Restroom available. Parking: street meters or public parking lots all around. It was easy to park. I saw they had tables but no chairs so not sure if it is due to covid they dont have seating options. One star off because this place would totally be a 5 star if you can get fresh cut cheese as a DIY cheese plate and try it in store.

    My friend turned me onto this store and I'm literally in love. They speak my language and are very knowledgeable and respectful of their craft. Cheesemonger Dave who taught our class was sweet, chill, and you can definitely see that passion spark in his eyes. Atmosphere is very chic and welcoming, not at all intimidating as I inaccurately expected. The classroom set up looks very similar to a homey dining room. Food. The food. I cant even begin to explain to you. Cheese, old cheese, new cheese, fresh cheese, sharp cheese, smooth cheese, cheese photographs, cheese charts, everything cheese. If you just kinda sorta like cheese, youll find it here. If you like super strong cheese, youre in the right place. If youre one of those people who are weirdly attracted to stinky moldy cheese (raises hand) they got that too! They also have every kind of snack pairing you could imagine. The only thing I wish they had was a selection of fresh/dried fruit and balsamic/oils that go well in a charcuterie board. I'm coming back for a grilled cheese, truffle chips, and all the charcuterie my palate can take. Youve gotta come experience it!

    Wonderful little local cheese store with an excellent selection of local and foreign cheeses. They also have a great wine selection that pairs nicely with their cheeses. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful, which makes the entire experience even better. All in all, a wonderful time!

    Beautiful, well curated shop. They have a lovely assortment of things and I want it all. They also carry some unique vegan chocolates. So happy I stopped in!

    Rude and really not worth their prices. I know this is a popular local business but I will no longer shop there.
