Summer is a great time to get out with friends and enjoy the beautiful weather, especially for some al fresco dining. If you're planning on some travelling and want to spread out some gourmet cheeses, we've packed four of our summer favorites into this signature igourmet.com insulated travel bag. This is ideal for trips to the park, the beach, or even out of town. This sampler includes a cheddar, blue, swiss, and goat cheeses, providing enough contrasting flavors and textures to allow everyone to find a favorite! We've also included some mini toasts, for those who enjoy some crunch with their cheese. This assortment includes:
  • Murray Bridge Cheddar: This gold medal award winning cheddar, aged for a year, hails from Australia. This all natural cheddar, made from pasteurized cow's milk is one of our new favorites. (8 oz.)
  • Atalanta Blue: Atalanta is the Greek goddess of hunt, travel, and adventure. The name Atalanta is thus appropriate for this new blue cheese from Wisconsin. It's a bold cheese that took several years to perfect. Enjoy it crumbled over salads, stirred into sauces, or on crackers. (8 oz.)
  • Klaver Kaas: This Italian spiced cheese is set to become a new favorite with our staff and hopefully on your cheeseboard as well. A great marriage of rich cow's milk cheese and mouth-watering Italian spices make this a real crowd-pleaser. (8 oz.)
  • Classic Chevre by Vermont Butter and Cheese: Vermont Chèvre has earned an honored place among chefs and consumers alike. Distinguished by a simple, mild, fresh goat's milk flavor, the cheese is highly versatile - an excellent ingredient in many dishes as well as on its own. (4 oz.)
  • Insulated Travel Bag: Inscribed with the igourmet insignia, this insulated travel bag is perfect for transporting your cheeses safely in summer weather.
  • Mini Toast: Perfect for elegant canapés and delicious snacks, you will love these little toasts from Holland. (2.75 oz.)
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

    So far we have tried the blue cheese, it is excellent! The cheddar is also very good, haven't had the chance to try the others yet.

    I added this selection to some individual cheese selections for a heavy duty wine and cheese party.
    Every single bite was gone by the end of the evening. I love trying new cheeses and matching them with specific wines. This selection would be a good place to start!

     
    Mostly a good value
    By thedatagalVerified Purchaser from Tobyhanna, Pa on 9/14/2008
    Pros:
    Good Value, The Klaver Kass was great
    Cons:
    Goat cheese toasts, Low Quality
    Best Uses:
    Snacking before dinner
    Bottom Line:
    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Comments about 4 Cheese Assortment with Insulated Travel Pack:

    The cheddar was slighty above average, the Blue was quite nice, the Klaver Kass was a pleasant surprise! The goat cheese was lacking any flavor or mouth feel and the wheat toasts were shattered due to the way they were packed. We ended up putting the crumbs out for the birds. I would not buy the entire assortment again but would rather purchase some of the individual cheeses separately.

     
    Instant road trip picnic

    Comments about 4 Cheese Assortment with Insulated Travel Pack:

    My daughter and I were taking a car trip from the Washington DC area to western Massachusetts, about a 10 hour drive accounting for traffic. Neither of us wanted to make many stops and having done the trip before we weren't looking forward to a day of Burger King, Hot Dogs and other heavy greasy fast food items. So I ordered this bag and it arrived two days before we hit the road. I added a cured sausage and some garlic pepper jam from a farm stand and some more crackers (the mini toasts were delicious, but very small).

    The garlic pepper jam was awesome with the goat cheese. The cheddar cheese was seriously the best either of us ever tasted, just melted in the mouth with a nice sharp taste. The Nazareth was a first for both of us and we really enjoyed it.

    As another reviewer posted, the bag was a bit on the flimsy side, but it is light, kept our cheese cool enough for the entire ride, and folds down to no space at all for storing easily on the way back (although we stopped on the way out of town in Colrain, MA to pick up some local cheeses and spreads for the ride back so it never actually got folded away!).

    I have ordered igourmet items for family and friends in the past and they have always been very happy with the packages but this was the first (but definitely not the last) time I ordered anything for myself. I was very pleased with this package.
