8. The World’s First Cheese Advent Calendar
The Cheese Advent Calendar will be available to buy in ASDA stores, nationwide from November 9th.
After pitching the idea, the calendar was put into production with the help of Norseland in Ilchester, Somerset; the innovative cheese specialists behind leading cheese brands, Jarlsberg®, Applewood®, Mexicana® and Ilchester®. Including 24 individually wrapped pieces of cheese, the calendar has a unique ‘book style’ packaging design, allowing one half to be torn off after the initial 12 days of Christmas to maximise fridge space.
The Cheese Advent Calendar costs £8 for 24 pieces of individually wrapped cheese. With 5 varieties available.
