Pack up your picnic basket with these two cheeses from diverse areas of the world along with the Milano Salame from Italy, the French mustard and the Australian watercrackers and add a bottle of your favorite wine or beer and you will have an international picnic for two in the making. Don't forget the tablecloth or blanket!
- Bruder Basil: Bruder Basil comes to us from Bavaria and is made in the tradition of Rauchkäse, a smoked cheese typical of the region. It is smoked over selected beech wood, which gives this cheese its special flavor. This semi-soft pasteurized cow's milk cheese has a dark, natural rind and a rich, creamy texture. Bruder Basil is ideal for grilled sandwiches; as an alternative to raclette and gratins; and perfect for snacking with your favorite dark German beer or dry white wine. (1/2 lb.)
- Blueberry Chevre with Cinnamon: Our Cranberry Chevre with Cinnamon from Canada has become a wildly popular cheese. The folks that make the wonderful combination have come out with another tasty dessert cheese - Blueberry Chevre with Cinnamon. A healthy pinch of cinnamon is always needed to make blueberry pie, so the same theory has been used to create their latest cheese. The result is sweet and tangy and tastes like summer. (1/4 lb.)
- Milano Salame by Vismara: Founded in 1898 at Casatenovo; Vismara is one of the oldest Italian producers of Salame. This salame is produced in Italy combining traditional methods and the latest technologies. Similar to Genoa salame but with a different set of spices, it is made with pork, salt, red wine, sugar and pepper It is great as a snack and served as an antipasto. (6.75 oz.)
- French Mustard by Les Trois Petits Cochons: Imported from France, Moutarde a L'Ancienne is a whole grain mustard made naturally, without preservatives, but with the addition of spices. This mustard was hand picked by Les Trois Petits Cochons, a small, well-known charcuterie lauded by the reviews of such notables as Craig Claiborne, Mimi Sheraton, James Beard, and others. This mustard will perfectly complement the cheese and salame chosen for this gift box. (7.1 oz.)
- Fruit Pyramids by Valley Produce Company: These succulent Fig & Almond and Apricot & Pistachio Fruit Pyramids are made from one pound of reduced fruit and contain no artificial colors or flavors. Unlike most other fruit pastes, VPC Pyramids are made by hand, contain 75% fruit and have no added pectin or fillers. These spreads are perfect served with the cheeses and salame that we have selected for this delicious Picnic Snack Gift Box. (2.6 oz. each)
- Crackerthins Australian Watercrackers: We know you will enjoy these premium plain and cracked black pepper water crackers from the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia with the select cheeses and salame offered in this gift box. Thin and crispy, they are perfect served with fine cheese, spreads, and pates. (5.3 oz.)
