This assortment is a great solution for informal get-togethers with family and friends. Containing a range of cheeses from sweet and mild to sharp and tangy, everyone will be sure to discover some new favorites in this selection! This assortment includes:
  • Cranberry Chevre with Cinnamon: This chevre is fresh and creamy with a slightly sharp and lightly acidic flavor. Made in Canada, they have added a flavorful twist to the traditional goat log by topping it with cranberries and cinnamon. (4.6 oz.)
  • Havarti: Originally created in Denmark, the popularity of Havarti has spread worldwide. Soft, creamy and laced with small holes, Havarti is typically served with fresh fruit. It is also a great melter. (8 oz.)
  • Swiss by Martel: This mild swiss has a sweet flavor that ends with that classic zippy swiss taste. Springy in texture, this cheese is interspersed with several walnut-sized holes. (8 oz.)
  • Smoked Gouda: This cheese is still smoked in ancient brick ovens over smoldering hickory chip embers. Smoked Gouda is perfect for impromptu picnics, party platters or midnight snacks. Note: the brown, smoky rind is not only edible, it''s the best part of the cheese! (8 oz.)
  • Black Waxed American Cheddar: This sharp yellow cheddar is carefully aged for a minimum of 10 months, then enrobed in black wax. This prevents the cheese from losing moisture, retaining its rich flavor. (8 oz.)
  • Atalanta Blue: Atalanta Blue has a soft, creamy and crumbling texture that displays a balanced contrast between its white color and the greenish blue veins. Excellent crumbled over salads or in hors d'oeuvres. (8 oz.)
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.

Comments about 6 Cheese Snacking Assortment:

I would a pretty good assortment of cheeses because you get a lot for your money. The price is reasonable but shipping makes this expensive. Also, the two little cold packs were already melted by the time my package arrived but as instructed I put in fridge and cheese hardened up nicely. I liked the havarti dill and the mild swiss the best 4-5 stars for those. The cheddar was pretty good but nothing special, typical cheddar 3 stars for that one. I was a bit disappointed with the smoked gouda as smoked gouda is one of my favorites but this one was just so so. I have had better smoked gouda in other gift baskets and from upscale supermarkets so 2 stars for that. I did not like the tube of goat cheese, very plain almost like a tube cream cheese 1-2 stars for that and 1-2 stars for the bleu cheese a bit strong for me. OK for someone wanting variety, but shipping charges a bit and lack of cold packaging. Only 2 I really thought were above average.

This is a nice assortment of cheeses that make an easy hors d'oeuvre. The flavors aren't too challenging but there's some surprises so it will work for all your guests, whether they are foodies or have simpler tastes. The assortment goes well together and covers a variety of tastes. We just opened them up, let them breathe and set them out for New Years Eve hors d'oeuvre.
