Big cheese sells. The bigger the cheese, the more publicity a mammoth cheese carving receives. And that draws in customers to stores or attention for your event.
How big does it need to be for maximum impact? Mammoth cheese carvings range from 700 to 2,000 pounds. Any theme will do – typical carvings include cityscapes, busts of famous people, historic landmarks, and animals.

There are only a handful of “big names” in cheese carving, and those people are booked for state fairs, grocery store openings or publicity stunts. Because a carving can take several days, you can achieve greater exposure for your event. Customers get a kick out of watching the cheese take shape.
So if you want the local news- and many times national- to notice your event, order up a giant cheese carving!
