When the word cheese is mentioned, most of us immediately think of France. We can't help it; it's a knee-jerk reaction. As excellent as are the hundreds of cheeses that originate from all corners of the globe, France is always the first country the comes to mind when discussing cheesemaking.
Our French Cheese Assortment captures a good bit of French cheese culture with the four cheeses listed below.
- Chevre by Couturier: This classic French goat cheese is quite fresh and spreadable. Formed in the shape of a log, enjoy this cheese on salads, as a snack, or with fruit for dessert. (4 oz)
- Camembert: This famous soft-ripened cheese from Normandie has a creamy interior beneath a fluffy (and edible) white rind. (7 oz)
- Tomme Brebis by Agour: From the Pyrennes region of France, this Basque cheese has a delicate bouquet, fruity aroma and slightly sweet flavor. Also known as Ossau-Iraty, it is made from 100% sheep's milk. (8 oz)
- Gruyère de Comté: Created by local villagers in alpine dairies called "Fruiteries", its milk comes only from Montbeliarde and Tachete de L'est cows. Each 70+ pound wheel of Comté is aged for at least six months, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece. (8 oz)

Follain is the Gaelic word meaning all that is wholesome, healthy and natural. A one hundred year recipe passed on through several generations was the secret of Follain's first product, a chunky grapefruit marmalade. From there, they added more flavors and varieties.
The unpolluted climate of West Cork, where Follain is based, is now famous for good food and stunning surroundings and is the backdrop for the Follain fruit which is hand picked in the surrounding fields and hedgerows.
We carry Follain jams in two flavors that are particularly representative of their northern European heritage. Gooseberries are large, tart berries that flourish on bushes in northern Europe. They make fabulous jams but are especially famous for the dessert that bears their name, Gooseberry Fool. This dessert is made from cooked gooseberries folded into whipped cream and can be made using this jam. Rhubarb and ginger is a traditional Irish combination. Rhubarb has a wonderfully tangy flavor while ginger is a warming spice that tickles the tongue and wakes up one's taste buds. Varieties sold separately. |

The Irish poet Brendan Kennelly once described Bewley's Café in Grafton Street as the 'heart and the hearth of Dublin'. Dublin, he said, would not be Dublin without Bewley's. These sentiments have been echoed by generations of Irish people since Joshua Bewley first introduced tea to the Irish public in 1835. Today, Bewley's is still best known for its select high street cafés throughout Ireland.
Bewley's have been importing and roasting the finest coffees since the beginning of the 1900s and as the market leaders in Ireland, are unrivalled when it comes to superior quality coffees. Bewley's ground Arabica coffee is flavored with another Dublin specialty, Irish Crème, which gives their coffee a lovely aroma and flavor.
