Cheese to Please

Cheese is almost a perfect food, it is loaded with calcium and there are few other foods that provide such variety.  You can enjoy it mild and smooth all the way to sharp and firm for grating.  It pairs so perfectly with bread, fruit and, of course, wine.  The season for entertaining is almost here, and, for those of you who love cheese, Village Kitchenware has the perfect accessories.

Loaded with style and functionality, the Formaggio Oval Cutting Board is ideal for company or a snack center for two.  This two tone cutting board is made from environmentally friendly bamboo, a renewable resource.  The board is very handsome and has a pull out drawer loaded with four stainless steel cheese tools.  Included are a hard cheese knife, cheese shaver, a fork-tipped knife and a cheese spreader.

Perfect for a wine and cheese tasting, the Pear - Natural Wood Cheese Board is sure to please at your next party.  Made from eco-friendly rubberwood, it is shaped like a fresh juicy sliced open pear.  The top swings open to reveal three satin finished stainless steel cheese tools.  Included are a hard cheese knife, cheese fork and fork-tipped knife.  At the tip of the cutting board there is a compartment that holds a nickel-plated wine bottle stopper shaped like a stem and leaves.

Fondue is back, and, hopefully here to stay.  What could be better than a warm, creamy, melty cheese fondue?  Perfect with chunks of crusty bread, chicken chunks, ham cubes, sausage bits, asparagus spears or even Granny Smith apple slices.  The Rival 3.5 Qt. Stainless Steel Fondue Pot works very nicely for any type of fondue and it is very handsome.  The adjustable temperature dial keeps your fondue just right, when you are done, just unplug the the control unit, the pot is fully immersible.  It includes 8 fondue forks and a fork holder ring.

Greet the Holidays

At Village Kitchenware, our primary focus is, of course, quality cookware, gadgets and appliances for your kitchen.  But, we have found a collection of gorgeous quality artificial wreaths that are so outstanding that we just had to offer them to our customers.  These wreaths and swags will add a breathtaking dimension to your holidays, and, they can be used for many years to come with just a little care.

Celebrate the abundance that the holidays promise with the Gilded Copper and Red Christmas Wreath.  A stunning addition to your front door or a special place of honor in your home, this artifical wreath makes a glorious display.  It is covered with beaded faux fruit, amaryylis, hydrangea and pine cones, it is then topped off with a wired gilded red bow and ribbon that is woven throughout.  It measures a generous 24" in diameter.

Instead of a traditional wreath, you may want to hang a door swag indoors or out.  The Copper Fruit Christmas Door Swag is a lovely and impressive way to greet guests.   The swag starts off with a base of lush greenery, it is then topped with faux fruit and gilded leaves for a holiday shimmer.  A lovely copper colored organdy ribbon bow adds the crowning touch to what will surely become a holiday staple.  The swag measures 12" wide by 36" from top to bottom.

If you prefer something simple, yet, very elegant, the Winter Red Berry Christmas Wreath was designed with you in mind.  This wreath begins with a very lush and full base of artifical greenery, it is then decorated with an abundance of faux red berries.  To add another splash of color, it is finished off with a bright red gilded velveteen bow.  You can enjoy displaying this wreath every holiday season, it will bring a sense of warmth to those long winter evenings.
