This sampler features four cheeses that are typical of four distinct regions of Italy:
  • Toma Piedmontese: Made in the Piedmont region of course, this cheese is surface ripened, meaning it ripens from the rind inward. Toma is a delectable mountain cheese that has a thin rind, a custard-like texture, small pores, and a sweet,lactic flavor with a gentle bite. (8 oz.)
  • Grana Padano Stravecchio: The original hard Italian cheese, Grana Padano is a firm, dry, fruity cheese from the Po Valley of Northern Italy. Stravecchio is aged for an optimal 20 months. Grate it over pasta, vegetables, or soup; or serve it as a table cheese drizzled with extra virgin olive oil. (8 oz.)
  • Mountain Gorgonzola: Italy's famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from cow's milk taken from local herds that graze on beautiful rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete without a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. (8 oz.)
  • Pecorino Toscano: This soft, sheep's milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. We find that this combination well represents the wide variety of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses. (8 oz.)
  • igourmet.com Signature Cheese Serving Knife: Specifically crafted for us at igourmet.com, this multi-function cheese knife is the perfect tool to easily slice uniform servings of your favorite cheeses.
  • Ciappine Italian Flatbread: Perfect for serving with cheeses, fruit, and spreads when entertaining (4 oz.)
Includes four 1/2 pound cheeses packed in a sturdy chocolate colored gift box, tied with an elegant yellow bow.
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

These cheeses are wonderful. My wife surprised me with them for Valentine's day. What a treat! We sampled each one as hors d'oeuvres before dinner and there is plenty more to use in other dishes. Highly recommend this sampler.

I love to experiment in the kitchen so the first thing I did was whip up an incredible 4 cheese pasta that was out of this world. We have used the cheese on salads and it our favorite recipies. I am 100% Italian American and pretty fussy about ingredients. I would highly recommend this assortment as it is very high quality with an assortment of incredible tastes you won't be dissapointed in!
