I’m Dreaming of a Cheesy Christmas: Whole Foods’ Annual 12 Days of Cheese is Back!

Whole Foods’ annual 12 Days of Cheese half-priced artisanal cheeses sale is back once again. Yes, that means for each of the 12 days, you can get your hands on a different artisanal cheese at half-off its OG price. We’re talking fancy cheeses here. Like, cheese so fancy, you can’t even pronounce it.

“The list of 12 cheeses that we’ve curated includes a few award-winning cheeses and a few exclusive cheeses you can only get at your local Whole Foods Market,” Whole Foods Market’s vice president of specialty, product innovation and development Cathy Strange said in a press email.  Whole Foods has a team of more than 350 certified cheese professionals (how do I get that job?) who helped select the cheeses in collaboration with the company’s global experts.

The sale starts on December 12 and runs through December 23, and, if you’re an Amazon Prime member, lucky you! Prime members can get an additional 10 percent off the discounted price of each day of cheese. Yeah, baby!
