Made for those cheese lovers with a taste for robust flavors and aromatic cheeses. Our French Cheeses for the Connoisseur is perfect for a Francophile-centric fromagier, or anyone looking to enjoy some bold selections of French cheese classics. We have included four of our favorites (a virtually impossible decision).
Cheeses include:
  • Pont L'Eveque: One of the world's ancient cheeses, Pont L'Eveque is a small washed-rind cheese that dates back to the Thirteenth Century. It is well known for its delicate bouquet, which is said to be reminiscent of the Norman countryside. However, it does tend to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. (8.5 oz)
  • Gruyere de Comte Reserve: Comte is made with fresh Alpine milk and formed into 80-pound wheels. This extraordinary cheese is a noticeable upgrade from our base Gruyere de Comte, more complex and nutty. Comte Reserve has a pronounced nose and is a divine treasure cherished by connoisseurs. (8 oz)
  • Buche de Chevre: This wonderful goat's milk cheese from Poitou in the Loire Valley comes to us in handcrafted wooden crates the most exquisite chevre we have ever tasted! When enjoying this cheese, you savor a delightful combination of flavors and textures in each bite. Buche de Chevre is a true delicacy that begs for a warm, crusty French baguette and a glass of robust red wine from neighboring Bordeaux. (8 oz)
  • Fourme d'Ambert: This AOC (name controlled) creamy blue cheese is a lovely French treasure. Fourme d'Ambert is cave-aged for a minimum of two months, made from raw cow's milk and has a tremendous, creamy, full-bodied flavor. (8 oz)
Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Latest Customer Reviews for French Cheeses for the Connoisseur Assortment

Combination or separate
I like the variety of the cheese presented in this assortment. All are great with fruit, wine and crackers, but I also discovered that they can be used for cooking! When I got down to smaller leftover portions, I decided to experiment, shredded them and made some macaroni and cheese, combining the cheeses. I covered the casserole with panko crumbs and baked it - there wsa some grease (we are talking natural cheese here after all), but that was easily resolved by just skimming it off (most was absorbed by the panko crumbs).

frugal french fromage
This is invariably a lovely line up of nice nibbling cheeses. Some will disappear readily, some with less haste, but none will be wasted. Can't miss with the guests.

French cheese
The Buche de Chevre was not very good. The Fourme very nice. Sadly in my haste to have this ship - I forgot to click another "ship to" address...instead of my sweet dad receiving the cheese...I did.
