Dutch Beemster Classic 18 Month Aged Gouda Cheese Beemster Classic 18 Month Aged Gouda Cheese Aged Gouda, one of the world's most sought-after cheeses, has been made in the Netherlands for over 800 years. Beemster makes theirs in North Holland, where the grazing land is pure and lush. Easy to distinguish, it is the dairy world's equivalent of a Rembrandt or Van Gogh. This edible opus magnum has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by an intense flavor with a sweet finish. The transformation that mild, somewhat ordinary Gouda undergoes during its aging process is simply amazing. Aged Gouda has many layers of nuanced flavor, and its texture lends itself well to shredding or chunking. Beemster's production is located in Northern Holland, famous for its rich milk and fertile grazing land. Discover one of the world's dairy masterpieces.

Italian Gorgonzola Dolce Blue Cheese Gorgonzola Dolce Blue Cheese From Italy's Lombardy region comes the most imitated blue cheese in the world. Many cheeses falsely claim to be gorgonzola, but they always leave you singing the blues. Authentic Italian Gorgonzola comes in two varieties: Dolce, meaning sweet, and Mountain-- the sharper and firmer version. Dating back to ancient times, this member of the stracchino family is one of the world's classic cheeses. Almost spreadable, Gorgonzola Dolce is supple and luxurious with an unmistakable tangy creaminess. Its pale white interior is laced with streaks of blue, giving Gorgonzola Dolce a striking appearance to match its piquant flavor. Enjoy Gorgonzola Dolce as a table cheese, spread thickly on a piece of crusty baguette, or as an ingredient in your favorite salad dressing. Made from pasteurized cow's milk.Photo depicts whole 3 lb. form of cheese.We cut and wrap this item by hand. French Camembert Cheese French Camembert Cheese Born centuries ago in Normandy, one of France's most fertile regions, authentic Camembert is still exclusively produced there. The Norman dairy farms, covered with delicious grass for cows to graze upon, are peppered with apple trees that protect the rich soil. In fact, some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple beneath the creamy suppleness of fresh Camembert. A similar cheese to brie, Camembert is formed into smaller wheels and may have a slightly more robust flavor than its larger cousin. Firm when chilled or runny at room temperature, there are many ways to enjoy this wonderful cheese-- with bread, fruit, or nuts. Best when eaten at room temperature. Spanish Smoked Idiazabal Cheese Smoked Ammerlander Cheese Smoked Idiazabal is a variation of the traditional Idiazabal cheese, known for its distinctive smoky flavor that enhances its already rich and nutty profile. This cheese, made from unpasteurized sheep's milk, is often smoked using beech or cherry wood, lending it a deep, savory aroma. The smokiness complements its firm, slightly oily texture, giving the cheese a more intense, earthy flavor with a hint of sweetness. We cut and wrap this item by hand. Dorothea-Goat Gouda Cheese Each wheel of Dorothea (only 4,000 are made per year) is pampered with the optimum aging conditions. Humidity and temperature are meticulously adjusted every few days to assure proper maturation. This wonderfully delicious cheese is made from pasteurized milk, but retains all of the taste for which goat's milk is famous. It is aged over 60 days to develop a full, nutty flavor and a body that is firm, but not hard enough to grate. Dorothea has an aroma reminiscent of the fresh outdoors and an unforgettable flavor. Cheddar Cheese Aged for a minimum of 18 months, this cheddar is exquisitely rich and sharp with balances of sweet and salty notes. Proof of a well-aged cheese, it has delicate flavor crystals that create a crunchy texture and delightful tasting experience. Perfect for a classic Ploughman's lunch or sandwiches, melts well in sauces and grated over casseroles. A perfect cheddar for your cheese plate. Spanish Manchego Cheese This special Manchego is aged for over 4 months It is produced in Central Spain's La Mancha region; a territory known for its fierce winds, violent temperature swings, and desert-like aridity. Manchego is made using traditional methods under strict quality guidelines. We especially love this cheese served with Rioja wine and fresh fruit.
