Our Platinum Collection is a selection of four of the world's most exquisite cheeses. Sure to impress even the most knowledgeable cheese connoisseur, it makes a great gift for those who appreciate the finer things in life.
Included are:
  • Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto: A sweet, tender and mild cheese from Tuscany made from a careful balance of cow and sheep's milk. Shavings of rare Italian white truffle are blended to transform Boschetto into a powerfully addictive delicacy.
  • Goat Camembert: This extra creamy goat's milk cheese from France is satiny-smooth with a firm, slightly chewy, edible white crust. Its flavor is all goat - tangy and rustic with hints of lemon and hay.
  • Cave Aged Swiss Gruyere: Aged for a full year in underground sandstone caves near Lucerne, this special reserve Gruyere is made from rich, unpasteurized, Alpine cow's milk.
  • Crater Lake Blue: Gold Medal winning blue cheese from the Rogue Valley Creamery in Oregon. Robust and sweet with a rich buttery finish.
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Lovely mixed array of cheeses. The Caved Aged Swiss Gruyere was a particular family favorite. However the Boschetto al Tartofo Bianchetto was BRILLIANT. A most exquisite flavor from initial taste to its lingering memory.

Missed 2nd day UPS delivery-went to pick up on 3rd day (9pm!). Cheeses were very fragrant, little bit warm but still good. Truffle cheese was the best-the rest were too stinky to enjoy properly. In freezer for moment to stop fermentation.

My husband and I received this as a wedding gift. Every cheese in the collection is truly exquisite! We were both particular to the Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto and the Cave Aged Gruyere--and have been back for more! Do yourself a favor... try one for yourself or a loved one!

 
Nervous at first
By agVerified Reviewer from Caldwell, NJ on 2/22/2007
Pros:
Durable, Gruyere was incredible

As we nibbled through the Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto, Goat Camembert and even the Berkshire Blue (shockingly, we didn't think it possible, a bit too stinky), we were not impressed by the sheer mediocrity of [...] platinum selection. We were so disappointed until we opened lastly, the Cave Aged Swiss Gruyere! It was incredible beyond words. So, we likely will not order the package again - but we will be ordering the Gruyere for sure!
