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)
