La Champagne is a region of timeless natural beauty. The name derives from the Latin 'campus', 'campania', or field. In Old French, this became 'Champaign'. Today, it's Champagne. From the very outset, the wines of Champagne were prized above all the vineyards of Europe. Over 24 million bottles are sold in the U.S. every year. Here are a few cheeses we enjoy with champagne:

Chevre by Couturier: It's nice that CHampagne and CHevre both start with CH, because the two pair perfectly together. This young, fresh goat cheese comes to us from France's Loire Valley, near the important city of Nantes. Its mild tanginess makes for great nibbling while sipping Champagne.
Kerrygold Irish Cheddar: This connoisseur's cheddar, notable for its rich, rounded flavor and firm, smooth body, deserves a place on the cheese board alongside your choice of the world's other great cheeses.
Camembert: The most famous cheese from Normandy, it has a white mold rind and a rich, creamy interior that pairs delightfully with fine Champagne. (8 oz)

Comments about Champagne Cheese Assortment:

The Saint Andre was pungent, making it tasty, but not a good pairing with anything but a cracker. We tried it with apple and champagne and pale ale, not good blends. My hubby, not a fan of brie, was a fan of this soft cheese.

The strong flavor of the Saint Andre made the brie seem boring. However, the cheddar was tasty, as most cheddars tend to be.

Overall, I would NOT say this is the must-have set of cheeses when looking to finally serve that fancy bottle of champagne you've been holding onto.
