- Compare and contrast
- Enjoy with cider or ale
- Serve with apples and crusty bread
|
Product Description
Along with their conquering armies, the Romans brought their cheesemaking expertise to England in the first century AD. But it was not until the sixteenth century when the cheese we know today as Cheddar was so named. With such a long history, it's no surprise that Cheddar is one of the world's favorite foods. So popular, in fact, that almost every cheese producing nation makes its own version. This assortment contains excellent examples from three continents: Coombe Farm English Farmhouse Cheddar: Still made by hand on Coombe Farm in Somerset, the county where Cheddar history began. This best-selling Cheddar is rich, tangy and full-flavored. Aged for over 15 months. Red Leaf Canadian Cheddar: This entrant from North America has a firm texture and a sweet, honeyed flavor. Best enjoyed with ale and fruit, this Cheddar is aged for over 12 months. King Island Dairy Black Label Cloth Wrapped Cheddar: Hailing from down under, this award winning truckle style cheddar is aged for a minimum of six months and made in Tasmania. It has a wonderful farmhouse appearance with a brown/grey rind. The cheese interior has a rich yellow buttery colour and a mild yet sweet and nutty flavour and a lingering subtle aftertaste. Shelburne Farms 2 Year Farmhouse Cheddar: Shelburne's award winning cheese is only made from the fresh, raw milk of purebred Brown Swiss cows raised on the farm. This spectacular cheese, is made in Vermont, aged for two full years, is noted for its sophisticated, rich flavor that leaves hints of maple and apple. This assortment contains four 1/2 pound wedges.

Parmigiano Reggiano (1 Pound) by igourmet.com
By: igourmet
Our price:
- The world's most famous hard cheese
- Often imitated, never duplicated
- Quite versatile, serve it grated or chunked
- Made from unpasteurized milk
- Imported from Italy
|
Product Description
The Italians are horrified by our usage of this, the world's most famous hard cheese. Thought of here in the States as purely a grating cheese, the rest of the world savours Parmigiano-Reggiano as a delicious, full-flavored eating cheese. It began life seven centuries ago in the Italian provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena, part of Bologna and part of Mantua. Nature blessed this zone with the most idealistic cattle grazing land to create the unique milk from the "Zone Tripica". The local cheese craftsmen took it from there, utilizing a totally natural process that has not changed for 700 years. No additives, no machinery, no gimmicks... just sweet, fresh milk in its pristine state... then the artisan's ancient skills... and then nature's own good time (aged from 18 to 36 months). What you see today is just what the knights, serfs, saints and kings of old ate! And please, don't compare it to the pre-grated "Parmesan" cheese found in the green can in aisle 4 of the grocery store. Made from raw cow's milk, aged over 18 months.

Product Description
In the proud tradition of St. Patrick's Day, we are thrilled to present four of our favorite Irish cheeses in this carefully selected assortment. For decades Irish cheeses were a secret, enjoyed only by our friends "across the pond." Now we are lucky enough to carry these four cheeses. And what better time to discover these marvelous cheeses than March, the month where everything goes green!! Cashel Blue: This wonderful farmhouse blue cheese hails from Tipperary. Using only fresh cows milk from their fresian herd, Louis and Jane Grubb have produced this masterpiece. Ideal for melting or after dinner with some port. Dubliner tastes of a mature Cheddar with the sweet aftertaste of Reggiano. Created by the Irish company Kerrygold and named after Irelands capital city, this cheese shares traits with several well-known cheeses but the combination creates a flavor that is completely unique. Cahill Farm Cheddar with Porter Ale is a visually intriguing cheese. Mixed with dark porter ale during the cheesemaking process, this cheese has a marbled effect with dark brown veins. Imported from Ireland, it has a surprising meaty flavor and is obviously a perfect match for ale. Our Green Waxed Cheddar is produced by Tuxford and Tebbutt from pure Irish milk. The milk for this "bitey" cheddar is taken from cows grazing the green grass of southeast Ireland, an area traditionally known as "The Garden of Ireland". This environment produces rich creamy milk that is perfect for cheese making. Our Irish Green Wax Cheddar is aged for a minimum of 12 months, but may be aged longer as it is only when that distinctive strong Irish cheddar flavor is ready that Tuxford and Tebbutt's master grader will deem the cheese ready for sale.

Beemster X.O. - Extra DOUBLE Aged Gouda (1 Pound) by igourmet.com
By: igourmet
Our price:
- imported from Holland
- cow's milk
- aged 36 months
- intense, butterscotch, nutty flavor
- hard and grateable,yet creamy on the palate
|
Product Description
A cheese that requires three adjectives to describe it had better be something special. Well, we nearly died of delight when we first sampled this remarkable cheese. In our minds, the chance that any cheese could be even more flavorful than our 18-month Aged Gouda was remote. But this one pulled it off! The first thing we noticed about our new 36-month Gouda was that its texture was crumbly, like that of Parmigiano Reggiano or Grana Padano. Then we tasted it, and WOW! was it packed with flavor. Butterscotch immediately came to mind, followed by alternating waves of whiskey and pecan. All this from a product with three basic ingredients: milk, salt and, most importantly, time.

Great Goat Cheeses of the World (2 Pound) by igourmet.com
By: igourmet
Our price:
- A collection of goat cheeses from around the world
- Ibores, Buche de Chevre, Cornelia, Goat Cheddar by Cypress Grove
- Each cheese is an 8 ounce package
- Makes a great gift
- Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value
|
Product Description
People are drawn to the vibrant, tangy flavors found only in goat cheese. Great goat cheeses capture the essence of their native pastures and often exhibit fresh flavors such as of thyme, tarragon, rosemary, lemongrass and pine. Their ease of digestion, particularly for the lactose intolerant among us, is another reason for the popularity of goat cheese. For many however, goat cheese remains misunderstood. A persistent victim of "milk-prejudice," it is our goal to bring goat cheese to the masses. Our Great Goat Cheese Assortment includes a selection of cheeses from four distinct countries: Majorero (Spain): From the beautiful island of Feurteventura in the Canary Islands, Majorero possesses a lively acidity and a slight piquancy on the palate. It is creamy with a mouth-watering, long-lasting flavor, full of rosemary and pepper. Buche de Chevre (France): This wonderful goat's milk cheese from Poitou in the Loire Valley is aged for two months, during which time it develops a hard, edible crust complete with a bloomy white mold coating. It is sharp and tangy near the rind and gets progressively richer and creamier toward the center. Cornelia (Holland): Cornelia is made from a single herd of goats that graze on pastures of natural grasses and wild herbs. This old-world style of raising goats yields a remarkably flavorful milk that gives Cornelia an abundance of character. Capradoro (Italy): Sardoformaggi (established in 1963) gets its milk for Capradoro from Sardinia's beautiful hilly interior where rosemary, sage, myrtle and juniper grow wild. This aged goat's milk cheese has a hard flaky texture and a flavor with incredible floral notes and a refreshing lemony tang.

Myzithra (1 Pound) by igourmet.com
By: igourmet
Our price:
- Imported from Greece
- Difficult to find
- Dry enough to grate
- Use Like Ricotta Salata
- Bold, assertive flavor
|
Product Description
Because of Greeces less-than-fertile terrain, most of its cheeses are made from sheeps milk. Feta is, of course, the best-known Greek cheese, but fresh sheeps milk cheeses are common, as well. One of the most common of these ricotta-style cheeses is Myzithra. It has a much more interesting flavor and texture than most of the ricotta available in this country. The flavor is rather nutty, and the texture is cottony and drier than ricotta. This cheese works wonderfully in cooking, especially blended into pasta dishes. Our version of Myzithra is actually the pressed and dried version. It is similar to an Italian ricotta salata and is a popular grating cheese in Greece. The cheese is quite crumbly and salty, so a little bit can add a lot of flavor to your dishes.

Blue Cheese Assortment (2 Pound) by igourmet.com

Our price:
- Assortment of four world-class blue cheeses
- Roaring Forties (Australia), Mountain Gorgonzola (Italy), Stilton (England) and Roquefort (France)
- Makes a great gift
- If you like blue cheese you will love this sampler
- Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value
|
Product Description
igourmet.com is saluting blue cheese by offering this International Blue Cheese Assortment, containing four of the worlds greatest blue cheeses. For creating blue cheese in the first place, we owe thanks to a micro-organism named Penicillium roqueforti. This microscopic spore attaches itself to a young cheese and, assuming the cheese is laced with small cracks, multiplies and spreads blue mold throughout as the cheese matures. By the way, this little microbe is also the principal agent used in creating penicillin, the world's first antibiotic. And now, back to the cheese... Roquefort: The world's oldest known blue cheese. It is made from sheep's milk and can only be produced and aged in a specific region in France, also named Roquefort. Exceptionally tangy! Mountain Gorgonzola: Another ancient blue, this one hails from northern Italy. It has a firm yet springy texture and a mellow bite that melts in your mouth. Roaring Forties: A modern blue from King Island, Australia. We are astounded by its creamy, delicious flavor everytime we sample it. Royal Blue Stilton: This special Stilton, still produced in Leicestershire, is full, rich and creamy. Its shocking blue veins radiate outward from a natural, crinkly brown crust, revealing layers and folds of honeyed, cheddary flavor.

French Raclette (1 Pound) by igourmet.com
By: igourmet
Our price:
- An aromatic melting cheese from the Alps
- Melt over boiled potatoes and cured meats
- Enjoy while sipping a glass of Beaujolais
- Made from unpasteurized milk
- Imported from France
|
Product Description
The worlds most famous melting cheese, Raclette is made in the Alps on both sides of the French-Swiss border. The French version is perhaps a bit softer than Swiss Raclette, but the two taste very similar. Raclette has a semi-soft interior dotted with small holes and a rosy inedible rind. Eaten as a table cheese, Raclette has a smooth, creamy taste that is neither too salty nor sharp. However, it does tend to have a strong, pungent aroma that is not for the timid. This cheese is traditionally melted (a half wheel is placed in a fireplace, then the melted top surface is continuously scraped off) and layered atop boiled potatoes, pickles, fresh vegetables and sliced meats. Check out our recipes and try it for yourself!
