- Fourme d'Ambert: This creamy blue cheese is a lovely French treasure. (1/2 lb )
- Artisan Raw-Milk Manchego: A hand-formed Spanish cheese that is dry cured for one year in an eighteenth century cave. (1/2 lb )
- Parmigiano Reggiano Stravecchio: One of the world's most popular cheeses, aged for a full three years. (1/2 lb )
- Aged Gouda: Revered for its rich flavors of butterscotch, whiskey and pecan, this Dutch cheese has a deep ocher interior and a firm, crumbly texture.
- Cheddar: Exceptionally sweet and tangy, this British Cheddar tastes nothing like any mass-produced cheddar you have ever sampled. (14 oz)
- Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto: Blended throughout are shavings of rare Italian white truffle. (6.5 oz)
- Camembert Le Chatelain: Succulent, ripe, rich, creamy, and only gently pasteurized at moderate temperatures, Camembert Le Châtelain retains most of the authentic flavors and qualities of the raw-milk cheese you can buy only in France.
- Buche de Chevre: Aged for 2 months, during which time it develops a hard, edible crust. Sharp, tangy and rich. (1/2 lb )
- Bufaletto: A buffalo-milk version of Taleggio - the classic washed rind cheese from northern Italy. (1/2 lb )

- Specialty Crackers from The Fine Cheese Co.: Unique flavored crackers from Bath, developed with specific cheeses in mind. (4.4 oz)
- Raincoast Crisps: These Canada-crafted crisps are great to nibble on their own, but they really shine when topped with your favorite dip, cheese, pâté or antipasto. (6 oz)
- Raw Italian Honey: Mitica has been producing honey at Altedo in the province of Bolognia in Emilia-Romagna for over 20 years. Their honey is extracted using centrifugal force, for a voluptuous texture that maintains the integrity of each varietal’s flavor. (4.23 oz)
- Gift Presentation: Hand assembled in our igourmet stained black box, finished with a bow.
What’s the best way to store my cheese?
The best way to keep cheese fresh is to store it in the vegetable crisper in your fridge. Before doing so, wrap in parchment or wax paper, then wrap loosely in plastic wrap. You can also buy our exclusive cheese storage bags, specially created to keep your cheese fresher, longer.
Unless used for cooking, we don’t recommend storing cheese in the freezer as this will alter its texture.
What is the best temperature to serve my cheese?
Remove cheese from the fridge an hour before serving, as cheese is best experienced at room temperature to enjoy the full spectrum of flavors.
How long will my cheese stay fresh in the refrigerator?
The length of time cheeses last in the fridge after opening depends largely on the type of cheese. Soft varieties tend to spoil more quickly than hard varieties. Please refer to the table below for a convenient reference:

How We Ship
FreshWave Packaging
Our products are always shipped so they will arrive at your door in optimal condition! We’ve carefully selected packaging options that have minimal impact on the environment without compromising on food safety or quality.
For perishable orders, we line our shipping boxes with Tempguard - a unique, padded insulator made of 100% pre-consumer recycled paper material. We further control the temperature with recycled kraft paper fill and non-toxic frozen gel packs. In the summer months, we may include dry ice to ensure fresh delivery in very hot weather.
Note: Please join our efforts to be mindful of our environment and extend the life-cycle of our packaging, by recycling your shipping box, Tempguard liner, and kraft fill (all 100% curbside recyclable!). Store the gel packs in your freezer and reuse to keep your next picnic or road trip fare cool.
