Suitable for any budding cheese connoisseur:

Manchego: Spain's most famous cheese is made sheep's milk in La Mancha. (8 oz.)
Roaring Forties Blue : This Australian blue cheese is a full-flavored blue with a sweet, nutty character. (8 oz.)
Red Dragon: This smooth, firm, tasty Cheddar is made with Welsh brown ale and mustard seeds. (7 oz.)
Pave d'Affinois: A simple, fluffy, white-rinded cheese with a pleasing finish reminiscent of Brie or Camembert. (6 oz.)
Chocolate Capri Goat Log: Incredibly intriguing and absolutely delicious, this rich and creamy cheese has a slightly “goaty” tang. Be forewarned, this five ounce log is addictive! (5 oz.)
Red Leaf Cheddar: Aged over 12 months, this Canadian cheddar is soft on the palate, yet tangy and quite nutty, with a beautifully sweet aftertaste. (8 oz.)
Beemster Classic Extra Aged Gouda: Made in the Netherlands, this edible opus magnum has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by an intense flavor with a sweet finish. (8 oz.)
Parmigiano Reggiano: The Italians have been producing this world famous gem with the same techniques for the last 700years! (8 oz.)
Swiss Emmentaler: Emmenthaler from Switzerland is a delicacy on every cheese platter, a popular dessert cheese, and is a perfect melting cheese for warm dishes. (8 oz.)

Comments about Cheese Sampler Gift:

All the labels were upside down, so we couldn't tell what was what without opening the whole thing. The buche de chevre had a pink slimy coating on the rind, although it was otherwise fine. The malagon was delicious. The blue was rotten and had to be thrown out. All of the other cheeses were boring - basically cheddar or cheddar-like.
