Cheese, ALL Assortments
Perfect for that slightly larger get together, our 8-Cheese Assortment contains all of the cheeses from our 4-piece version, plus four more half-pound cuts of some of our other favorites:
- Blue - From Italy's famed Lombardy region comes superb Mountain Gorgonzola. It is mild yet tangy cow's milk, 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.
- Nutty - Beemster Classic Exta Aged Gouda is ripened for a full 18 months to develop its nutty, caramel-like flavor. Imported from Holland, it is always a crowd pleaser.
- Smoky - German Rauchkase, smoked for hours over beechwood, is perfect for enjoying with cured meats and ale. The smooth texture is offset by the robust and smoky rind.
- Tangy - No holiday cheese assortment would be complete without authentic cheddar, and this one from Denhay of England is as good as it gets. Aged for at least 11 months. (8 oz)
- Sheep - Malagon with Rosemary is made from 100% sheep's milk. Aged for over three months, this Spanish cheese has a wonderfully firm texture and an herbed-flavor that comes from its rosemary-impregnated rind.
- Goat - Famous chef Cas Spijkars spent years developing the recipe Dorothea, a remarkable Dutch goat Gouda. Flavored with potato skins, basil oil, and onions. Once tasted, never forgotten. (8 oz)
- Aged - Italian Piave is a cow's milk cheese with an intense, full-bodied flavor that increases with age and makes this cheese absolutely unique. This Piave variety is Mezzano, which means it is aged for six months.
- Earthy - French Gruyere de Comté has a satiny, ivory-colored body and a scattering of holes the size of a hazelnut. A traditional fondue cheese, raw-milk Comte can also be shredded, sliced, grated, chunked or melted. (8 oz)
