I'm Tommy, AppyHour's cheesemonger. Here's an insider's look at what you're getting in our Fall Harvest Box — the most anticipated curation of the year.

Tommy, AppyHour Cheesemonger | Updated this week
Sweater weather. The first fire of the season. That hour in the afternoon when the light goes gold and everything slows down. Every year this is the box people ask about before I've even finished building it — and every bite of it tastes like a fall daydream. Let me open the Fall Harvest Box and show you what's inside.
Adirondacks, New York
Light, fluffy and spreadable, made from goat and cow milk and hand-mixed with real pumpkin and warming spices. Cozy up front, then a fresh tangy finish that keeps it from ever going cloying.
It comes from an award-winning cheese farm that doubles as an animal sanctuary up in the Adirondacks — the retired and rescued animals live out their lives right alongside the working herd. It's back for a limited time, and it's the first thing gone every year.
Shelburne, Vermont
A bold Vermont cheddar with hoppy, floral, gently yeasty notes running through it — earthy and sharp, but creamier than a cheddar that age usually is.
Here's how it gets that way: the fresh curds are soaked in IPA before the cheese is ever aged, so the beer works its way into the paste rather than sitting on the outside. It's handcrafted at a nonprofit working farm and education center, and it's Certified Humane.
Wisconsin · Large box only
Rich, smooth and supple, studded with sweet, nutty fenugreek seeds. Fenugreek tastes uncannily like maple syrup — it's the same aromatic compound, which is why this cheese reads as dessert-sweet without a gram of added sugar. Award-winning, and a genuine conversation starter on a board.
A fennel salami made in Vermont by artisans trained in the salumi traditions of Umbria. Sweet, aromatic fennel seed and garlic lift the richness of the pork, and a long, careful aging gives it a firm-but-tender bite with a subtle tang. The outside is coated in coarse-ground fennel — you'll smell it the moment you open it.
Spain
Authentic Spanish dry-cured ham, aged over twelve months in the mountain air of the Pyrenees. Three ingredients: pork, sea salt, and time. Firmer and leaner than prosciutto, with a bolder, nuttier flavor and a whisper of sweetness. It was once so valuable it was used as currency.
Large box only
[COPY TK — need product details. Tender, silky prosciutto with a slow build of heat and sweetness.]
Sweet-tart cranberries wrapped in rich dark chocolate. Tangy fruit, deep cocoa, and just enough bitterness to keep them from being candy. They disappear on their own, but they earn their place next to a spiced cheese.
Ripe pears cooked down slowly with vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice until the sugars caramelize. Sweet and spiced without tipping over, and made in small batches for the season only.
[COPY TK — need product details. Toasted walnut, a thread of honey, and good olive oil baked into the cracker.]
This isn't everything. You'll also get a bonus artisan cheese and small-batch jam, matched to each other by us — things like Baked Lemon Ricotta with blackberry balsamic, or Manchego Aurora with caramelized fig and pear. And it isn't a one-time thing — you'll get a bonus cheese and jam pairing in every box, for life.
Every combination in this box is written out for you in your personalized tasting guide. I even throw in wine pairing suggestions so you can make a whole evening out of it.
