For cheese fiends
igourmet’s Favorite 8 Cheese Sampler | ” What could be better than to break out that prized bottle of wine youve been saving, served with some of the worlds greatest cheeses? The cheeses in the sampler are: 1) Blue – From Italys famed Lombardy region comes superb Mountain Gorgonzola. It is mild yet tangy, creamy yet firm, with a pale interior laced with streaks of blue. Delicious served the Italian way (drizzled with honey), it is a real treat for connoisseurs. 2) Nutty – Exta Aged Farmer Gouda is ripened for a full 18 months to develop its nutty, caramel-like flavor. It is always a crowd pleaser. 3) Fruity – Our White Stilton with Lemon Zest is the best selling blended cheese in England, and is rapidly becoming one of our most requested products. Extra creamy, deliciously tangy, with an unmistakable burst of lemon, this is sure to be the surprise hit at social hour. 4) Creamy – No holiday cheese assortment would be complete without authentic Camembert, produced exclusively in Normandy. With a slightly more robust flavor than its larger cousin Brie, this supple French classic is best enjoyed at room temperature. 5) Sheep – Malagon with Rosemary is made from 100%sheep’s milk. Aged for over 3 months, this cheese has a wonderfully firm texture and an herbed-flavor that comes from its rosemary-impregnated rind. 6) Goat – Famous chef Cas Spijkars spent years developing the recipe Dorothea, a remarkable Dutch goat cheese. Once tasted, never forgotten. 7) Sweet – St. Olof is a semi-soft, double rich delight hailing from Sweden, and is well suited to everyone, especially children. 8) Tangy – Our final selection is Coombe Farm Cheddar, a classic cheese from Somerset, England aged for a full 12 months. It possesses all the traits we have come to expect from an aged English cheddar while not being overly dry.” ($49.99)
