A GIFT WITH A STORY LONG BEFORE THE BOX IS OPENED.

NEW - The Premium Gift Collection

Our most distinctive holiday presentation yet. Artisan cheeses presented on reclaimed slate from a 200-year-old church roof or on a handcrafted board made from a century-old tree.

View Our Reserve Collection Below

Our handcrafted cheeses are aged in a limestone cave that's carved into the hillside behind our creamery in Howard, Pennsylvania. Our cave sits at 55 degrees and 85 to 90 percent humidity, and every wheel rests there for months, turned by hand, until it's ready to send.

Every Goot Essa gift can be customized with a branded tag or cutting board, along with a personal note. Explore the collections below to find the right fit for your clients or team. If you're not sure which one to choose, our team is happy to help you decide."

Why Businesses Choose
Goot Essa Premium Gifts

Cave-Aged, Not Rushed. Our cheeses spend real time in the cave before they ever leave the farm. That's true of every collection on this page.

Made on a Working Farmstead. Goot Essa started in 2001 in Howard, Pennsylvania. The cheese is still handcrafted here, in small batches, by hand.

Handled From Start to Finish. Submit your quote request, and our team will take it from there. Sizing, personalization, and delivery scheduling are included.

Frequently Asked Questions

Goot Essa gifting customers are typically small- to medium-sized organizations that give handcrafted gifts to their staff, clients, volunteers, and other valued contacts.

Click the Start My Quote button. Our order form takes just a few minutes. Once we receive your request, a Goot Essa staff member will follow up with a customized quote for your preferred gift preparation and delivery options. You're also welcome to start by phone (8:00 AM to 4:00 PM weekdays) at 800-490-4387.

A minimum order of 10 collections is required to qualify for a corporate gifting discount. If your organization needs fewer, you're welcome to order at our usual retail rates from our Full Gift Collection. (Flag: the current site lists a 2,000-assortment max tied to "2024." That number needs a fresh figure from John before this goes live, since the collection count and the packaging behind it have both changed.)

Added value may be supplied with a hand-initialed packing card sharing the Goot Essa story. Other value-added inserts may include a cheese recipe card and an invitation to join our monthly cheese subscription. A wine and cheese pairing guide can be added at your request.

Yes. Depending on the collection, you can choose from these customization options:

  • A custom-branded leather tag with your company logo (available in white or brown)
  • A woven basket
  • A slate cutting board, with optional customization
  • A live edge cutting board

Discuss customization options with your Goot Essa contact early in the quote process, since availability depends on the collection you choose.

Orders placed by [order-by date] qualify for our corporate gifting discount. Larger-volume orders for a single collection are discounted using the following formula:

  • 10-25 collections receive our corporate gifting discount (2% off retail price)
  • 25-49 collections receive 4% off
  • 50-99 collections receive 6% off

Multiple collections may be ordered but are subject to a reduced discount schedule. Ask us for details if you're interested.

Call us at 800-490-4387 or email john@gootessacheese.com. We're happy to answer your questions about our corporate gift collections. In select cases, we ship sample collections to help potential customers understand our products.

If we're delivering collections to individual recipient addresses, you can download and save a copy of our Excel order template, complete it, and email it to john@gootessacheese.com. A Goot Essa staff member will help as needed.

If you already have a spreadsheet with accurate recipient addresses, you're welcome to customize it to include a column for your gift collection choice for each recipient and a personalized gift message of up to 180 characters. Your message will appear on a Goot Essa branded gift card. Email your completed address file to john@gootessacheese.com.

Our corporate gifting discount is available through [volume discount date]. For guaranteed holiday delivery, we recommend ordering by [delivery cutoff date]. You're welcome to order earlier, and our order form includes a field for your desired delivery date so your gifts arrive at the right time. (Flag: the current site gives two different dates for these, December 9 for the discount and December 16 for the general cutoff, without separating what each one means. Written above as two distinct dates per your note that these serve different audiences. Both need John's final numbers before publishing.)

Preferred payment methods include business checks and ACH transfers. Payment is also accepted through Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.

Regional shipping costs for individual gift collections are listed at the bottom of this page. Most orders ship through UPS or FedEx, with USPS Priority Mail used occasionally. We take steps to keep cheese safe from external heat in transit. Gourmet cheeses should be stored at 35 to 45 degrees Fahrenheit.

You'll receive a tracking number.

Personalization options may include your company logo and a personal message for each recipient. (Flag: the current site names specific container personalization options, leather or wood branding, a crate, a basket, tied to the old Fancy-tier containers. Since packaging for the new five collections isn't finalized yet, I'd hold off on naming materials here until John confirms what each collection ships in.) Discuss personalization with your Goot Essa contact early in the quote process.

Looking for something a little more personal?

Personalization options may include your company logo on leather, wood and slate, as well as a unique gift message for each recipient. Discuss with your Goot Essa contact early in the quote process.
