I love goat cheeses and buy them on a regular basis. A lot of people seem unaware that there are many other types of goat cheese on the market other than the ultra fresh Chevre. I have purchased this selection by iGourmet for both myself and for others as gifts. The reactions from my friends have been mixed. They all enjoy the harder chesses, such as the Goat Cheddar and the Ibores. However, some people don't like fresh, soft goat chesses and one of the reasons that I send them this selection is so that they can try a variety of different chesses. However, in the selection that I was sent it contained two versions of Chevre-type cheeses including the delicious Buche de Chevre. Still, I wished they had more of the harder to find goat milk versions of cheeses traditionally made from cow's milk such as the goat's milk Cheddar and Gouda.

As for as price goes, this is a surprisingly good value. You are getting two pounds of very expensive chesses for a little more than I have paid for one pound of some of the varieties here. One of my friends did receive a substitution for one of the chesses. Instead of the cheddar they received the Cypress Grove's Midnight Moon. I can certainly understand why substitutions would be necessary and I felt that they replaced the listed cheese with an even better variety. Overall I am very pleased with both the price and the quality of the cheeses, I just wish that they had less fresh and more unique forms of this wonderful type of chesse.

Goat Cheese

Ordered this goat cheese and it is just fantastic! I can't digest cow milk so finding these goat cheeses was a great treat! I would order them again they are that delicious! Looks spectacular on a cheese platter with fruit and selected crackers.
