igourmet is thrilled to introduce another award-winning cheese to our offerings. Black Castello scooped a gold medal at the World Cheese Awards 2007 held recently in connection with the International Food & Drink Exhibition in London, and deservedly so. A great addition to the Castello line of premium soft-ripened cheeses, Black Castello is Tholstrup's first Castello cheese made from both cow's milk and sheep's milk from Denmark, with special ripening cultures from Southern Europe. Unlike most other blue mold cheeses where surface molds are washed and removed, Tholstrup chose to maintain blue mold on the cheese's outer fleurie. The result is a distinctive, bold blue cheese with a creamy, supple texture. Sure to become a new favorite for our blue cheese fans.
- Made from pasteurized sheep and cow's milk.
- We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.
- Whole forms currently come in 3 lb. wheels.
- Please contact us if you would like to purchase the whole form.

About 100 years ago, a farmer's wife who lived in North Zealand (one of Denmark's most romantic islands -- a trysting place for lovers) became interested in the art of cheesemaking. She traveled through Europe to learn the secrets of this craft. Upon her return, she began to experiment with her newly acquired techniques. She named her finest creation after her farm, "Havarthi". Today's Cream Havarti is a direct descendant. It has an ivory interior patterned with a myriad of tiny holes and is mild, creamy and mellow. We are featuring five of our favorite varieties: garlic and herb, dill, jalapeno, caraway and chive.
Varieties sold separately.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Also known as "King Christian," this Danish specialty cheese is made from partially skimmed cow's milk and is flavored with caraway seeds. This addition gives Danbo a warm, familiar taste, reminiscent of rye bread. Similar in concept to Dutch Leyden, although with a springier texture, Danbo is a festive cheese that is always a hit at parties. It partners very well with beer and wine, especially when served with dark breads, such as pumpernickel.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Danish Blue cheese was invented early in the 20th century by a Danish cheesemaker named Marius Boel who had a vision of emulating Roquefort. Although decidedly different from its French inspiration, Danish Blue has since become one of the most well-known blue cheese of modern times. It typically comes in a drum shape and has a white to yellowish, slightly moist, edible rind. Made from cow's milk, its fat content is 50-60% fat in dry matter, and it is aged for eight to twelve weeks. Its flavor is creamy with just the right amount of earthiness, yet it is mild enough to accommodate a variety of culinary dishes.Our Danish Blue is made on the island of Bornholm, in the east of Denmark close to Sweden and Poland. St. Clemens is the only cheese producer in the world to win the title of World Cheese Champion twice—in 1980 and in 1998.
Danish blue is the consummate salad cheese, excellent crumbled atop a bed a leafy greens and drizzled with balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil. Made from cow's milk, it is a white cheese with a delicate network of blue-green veins. Denmark's rich, green grazing pastures and fertile soil contribute to the fine, consistent quality of this world famous product. Danish Blue can be used as a special dessert cheese with fresh fruits like strawberries, pears or peaches. It is also great in recipes that call for Crumbly Blue or Roquefort.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

Tilsit is a surface ripened cheese first made by Dutch settlers in East Prussia, near the town of Tilsit, in the mid-19th Century. They were trying to recreate their beloved Gouda, but the cheese became infected with moulds, yeasts, and bacteria in a damp cellar and so, Tilsit was born. Also known as Tilsit Havarti, this cheese has a fuller and more intense flavor than Havarti, but is milder than German Tilsit. Made of partially skimmed milk with a brownish-orange washed rind, Danish Tilsit is more yellow in color than Havarti but has a similar springy, elastic, semi-firm texture, ideal for slicing. Danish Tilsit also has a piquant flavor, making it a great table cheese to enjoy with a Danish beer. Try this versatile cheese cubed in salads, melted in sauces, on potatoes, flans, or on burgers.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.

The Danish Cheese Institute rediscovered this old recipe in 1951. Previously known as Danish Port Salut, it is now named Esrom, after the monks who made this forgotten cheese in Esrom Monastery. Made from partially skimmed cow's milk, it is slow ripened with starter cultures for 10 - 12 weeks. Esrom has an orange, semi-hard rind that has been rubbed with brine during the aging process. Its interior is semi-soft with a supple texture and irregularly shaped holes. It is full-flavored with a big, rich, pungent aroma and becomes spicier as it ages.- Made from pasteurized cow's milk.
