Product Description

Our 8-Cheese Assortment contains all of the cheeses from our 4-piece version, plus four more half-pound cuts of some of our other favorites:

• Blue - The only authentic Gorgonzola comes from Italy's famed Lombardy region. Delicious served the Italian way (drizzled with honey), it is a real treat. (8 oz)
• Nutty - Beemster Classic Exta Aged Gouda is ripened for a full 18 months to develop its nutty, caramel-like flavor. Imported from Holland. (8 oz)
• Smoky - German Rauchkase, smoked for hours over beechwood, is perfect for enjoying with cured meats and ale. The smooth texture is offset by the robust and smoky rind. (8 oz)
• Tangy - Collier's Welsh Cheddar gets the ball rolling. Aged for at least 12 months, it is a great snacking cheese. (8 oz)
• Sheep - Malagon with Rosemary is made from 100% sheep's milk. Aged for over three months, herbed-flavor that comes from its rosemary-infused rind. (8 oz)
• Goat - Dorothea is made from a recipe created by the famous Dutch chef Cas Spijkars. He spent years developing the Dorothea recipe, a remarkable Dutch goat Gouda flavored with potato skins, basil oil, and onions. Once tasted, never forgotten. (8 oz)
• Creamy - Coach Farms' Green Peppercorn Chevre is a goat's milk cheese from New York with a superbly fresh flavor. (8 oz)
• Earthy - French Gruyere de Comté has a satiny, ivory-colored body and a scattering of holes the size of a hazelnut. A traditional fondue cheese, raw-milk Comte can also be shredded, sliced, grated, chunked or melted. (8 oz)

Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

This review is from: igourmet's Favorites - 8 Cheese Sampler (4 pound) (Misc.)

I wasn't sure what the quality or size would be. UPS had to delay the shippment a couple days due to bad weather and product still arrived cold. Packed very well with styrofoam and coldpaks. Cheeses vaccuum packed so I didn't feel like I had to eat all that cheese right away. Cheeses were sized well. Decent sized bricks and wheels. No ordinary cheeses. Things like Blueberry Stilton were the norm. Even had a cheese I had never heard of. Was a great value. I'll definately be purchasing from them in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent selection of cheeses, December 17, 2004

This review is from: igourmet's Favorites - 8 Cheese Sampler (4 pound) (Misc.)

All of the cheeses included in this selection were a big hit at the department holiday party. The stilton with lemon was the one cheese that was somewhat unexpected. Cheddars, bleus and the soft cheeses (camembert and goat cheese) are generally cheeses which people recognize and know if they like them or not. The lemon in the stilton was unexpected, and therefore received more comments - but they were all favorable.

It's a good combination, and just right for a group of 15 - 25 people.

This review is from: igourmet's Favorites - 8 Cheese Sampler (4 pound) (Misc.)

I severed this selection at a holiday party full of people who love exotic cheese, and these were a hit! Everyone raved about the variety, and wanted to know where I got such unusual items. When I said they were online, and metioned the price, people where shocked at the value. A similar amount of such items at a local gourmet grocer would have easily cost twice as much. Especially memerable were the Rosemary Magala and the Ginger Mango Stilton. So good, we're going to use this vender for our monthly Wine and Cheese parties.
