You've tried crackers and cheese, so why not Cookies and Cheese?!

It's BA-ACK! Our popular Cookies and Cheese Pairing, featuring those delectable treats pitched by your local entrepreneurial Girl Scouts! We've proudly been offering this unique, novelty pairing for almost a decade (long before it became trendy on social media to do so). That means, we think we're pros at this pairing combo. 

We all know that sweet and savory is the way to go but, for this tasting, our Antonelli's cheese experts will guide you through a carefully curated selection of some of our best cheeses exquisitely paired with Girl Scout classics, as well as seven complementary preserves pairings. Additionally, if all goes to plan, we'll even get to have one of our favorite neighborhood Girl Scouts here to present on the cookies, as well as offer cookie sales directly from her to you after the tasting. (Note: We purchase all cookies for the tasting from the Girl Scouts at full price to support her local Girl Scout troop.)

One ticket to Cookies and Cheese = one person and includes:

  • 5 cheeses
  • 5 Girl Scout Cookies
  • 5 specialty food pairings
  • additional goodies, such as grapes & cocktail mix
