The Cheese Math
At $115 for 12 cheeses, each day costs about $9.58 (our math). The box in Tillamook’s official photo lists a net weight of 5.75 lb (2.61 kg), which works out to about $20 per pound. Tillamook’s photo also shows a Maker’s Reserve Extra Sharp Cheddar aged 10 years next to the calendar, though the brand has not yet published the full list of the 12 cheeses on its product page.

Our Take
This is one of the most practical food calendars of the season: 12 full-size cheeses are real groceries for holiday boards, not tiny samples. At about $9.58 a day, it costs more than a chocolate calendar but far less than most luxury food countdowns. Because it is perishable and ships only early in the week, plan the delivery date and fridge space before you order. Tillamook says it is a limited edition, so be ready on November 9.
- Best for: cheese lovers, holiday hosts, a family countdown that ends on a cheeseboard
- Skip it if: you have little fridge space or want a calendar that keeps for weeks at room temperature
