The Cheese Box

Black Garlic Manchego-Style Cheese

There are some advantages to being the head of marketing for The Cheese Box, even though it is an unpaid position currently and I am the only person in the department. However, I do get to influence which cheeses we keep in stock with vague statements like, "my market research shows" or "this tested positively within the target segment". By target segment I mean me and that this is one of my favorite cheeses.

Just look at this beauty. She has a slight sweetness from the garlic that plays perfectly with the nuttiness of the Manchego style cheese. Those veins of black garlic are like gold. This cheese should be traded on the precious metals market. It should be handled with white gloves and with voices kept at a respectful murmur. Municipalities should stockpile it against an uncertain future in silos. Conspiracy theorists should keep it under their bed. You see where I am going with this. Follow me for more investing tips.
