If you love cheddar cheese,you will love this assortment from igourmet.com...The cheese manages to be sharp yet sweet to my pallet...For cheese lovers only...An excellent gift...5 star rated....

This arrived promptly in a refridgerated box. I enjoy cheese, but I'm not well versed in gourmet qualities. Happily, I find that I can readily distinguish these four cheeses in a taste sampling. They are all delicious, and the two European varieties are very sharp. By the time the express shipping is added to the order, each block of cheese has a fairly hefty price tag. However, I don't live in a rural area, so I'm pleased Amazon makes this and other specialty cheeses available.

A very high quality selection, with lots of flavor, deep residual secondary
flavors and aroma. It reminds me of a fine wine that's been aged and mellowed. For the price, this is a bargain.
All four cheeses are excellent choices for that special "flavor fest."

Watch out people, the amount they claim they charge for shipping is almost 1/3 what they try to nail you for at the check out. I've already filed a complaint with Amazon about this as I didn't catch the bait and switch pricing lie until after I had placed my order. Lucky for me Amazon canceled the order.

Don't get cheated!

Cheddars of the world sampler is just as good as being in another country in person. Sampling the generous sized cheese's with a San Francisco sourdough and a glass of fabulous California wine, and never having to leave the comfort of my own home is the best. Go ahead and treat yourself to a pleasant worldly experience.

My igourmet order was quick and easy, and arrived in good condition. While I prevaricated about spending this much for cheddars, I'm glad I did. It was a nice treat for a special occasion---these are unusually flavorful and delightful, and each type has its own flavor notes. The important thing is to find recipes or uses that don't in any way obscure the amazing flavors!

Dec.20-submitted order. Dec.21-received confirmation. Paid $23.99 two day mailing charge for delivery by Dec.23-24 (*as stated*) to Washington State. As of Dec. 26.....it STILL had NOT arrived!!!

I am usually not overly impressed with these samplers of specialty cheeses, but I do run a cross one now and again that simply stand out. This is one of them. I fully admit to being almost addicted to good cheddar so perhaps this is part of it. The quality of this cheese, even after being shipped all over the place and from heaven knows where, is absolutely excellent. My sweet friend Brenda sent me this one and it is going to take some hard work to figure out how to top her on this one. Secret for you: I plan to purchase one or two of these myself soon horde it away, and simply not share! I do recommend you give this sampler a try...you will be absolutely delighted.

Cheeses tasted great. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that all 4 looked identical.

Even though the cheese was ordered as a Christmas gift. It was shipped to my brother without an acknowlegement. He had no idea who sent it. I didn't find this out until last week. He just thought I had forgotten them at Christmas and assumed the cheese was from the company he worked for.
