From November 29, 2025, you’ll be able to buy a real Advent calendar featuring 24 delicious varieties of vacuum-packed cheese. At last, an Advent calendar worth making a fuss about!
A cheesy Advent calendar: the gourmet way to wait for Christmas
Want to swap traditional chocolates for a good piece of Comté or Roquefort? Blue, cow’s milk or sheep’s milk cheeses, classic or traditional flavors… There’s something for everyone in this 100% cheesy Advent calendar. You’ll taste 24 different cheeses that promise a journey of flavors and textures, from little-known varieties to so-called “prestige” cheeses, not forgetting some great classics. All 24 cheese portions are individually vacuum-packed, ensuring they stay fresh from December 1 to 24.
To accompany this tasting, you’ll also find a small guide filled with anecdotes, information and recipes. The guide includes space for you to record your impressions of each cheese, so you can easily find your favorites throughout the year. The most curious among you can even listen to a podcast dedicated to this unusual Advent calendar on the Émilie cheese dairy website.
You can order this cheesy Advent calendar online now and/or pick it up at the Victor Hugo market from Saturday, November 29, 2025 at the lodge from 8am to 1pm. A word of advice: don’t put your pretty Advent calendar next to your Christmas tree. You’ll need to keep it in the fridge to ensure the freshness of your 24 little gourmet delights. Priced at 61€, you can treat yourself all December long, even before the festive season begins! Hurry, only 100 calendars will be on sale.
