Product Description
Belgian food reveals a variety of influences from other countries. Their cheeses are most directly influenced by the French, due to the fact that many are made by the Trappist Monks who fled France to Belgium in the mid-nineteenth century. The proximity of the two countries also plays a significant role in the influence. The cheeses on this board are fine examples of the Trappist's cheese making ability. Chevagne is a surprisingly mild, smooth goats milk cheese. Delicious sliced and served on a dark, nutty bread, shaved over salads, or as part of a cheese board. Chevagne also melts well. Passendale is made from cows milk. It has a semi-soft texture and a sweet, creamy flavor. Finally, Chimay with Beer is a robust, semi-soft cheese that is washed in beer, giving it the distinct flavors of hops. (This gift includes a stunning and durable bamboo cheese board. A gift that will be enjoyed for years to come.) 3 lbs. of Cheese. Board Dimensions: 11.5" x 11.5" Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.
