La Champagne is a region of timeless natural beauty. The name derives from the Latin 'campus', 'campania', or field. In Old French, this became 'Champaign'. Today, it's Champagne. From the very outset, the wines of Champagne were prized above all the vineyards of Europe. Over 24 million bottles are sold in the U.S. every year. Here are a few cheeses we enjoy with champagne:
Chevre by Couturier: It's nice that CHampagne and CHevre both start with CH, because the two pair perfectly together. This young, fresh goat cheese comes to us from France's Loire Valley, near the important city of Nantes. Its mild tanginess makes for great nibbling while sipping Champagne.
Kerrygold Irish Cheddar: This connoisseur's cheddar, notable for its rich, rounded flavor and firm, smooth body, deserves a place on the cheese board alongside your choice of the world's other great cheeses.
French Brie: The most prized and celebrated of all French cheeses, Brie is believed to have been created prior to the Eighth Century. In 1815, the Prince de Tallyrand named Brie "Le Roi de Fromages" - The King of Cheeses. Each of our French Bries is shipped uncut.
