Morbier (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 8060from: igourmetOur review: :The first wheels of Morbier ever produced were made from milk leftover from Gruyere de Comte production. The cheesemaker would press the leftover curd from the evening production of Comte into a mold and cover it with a thin layer of ash to prevent it from both drying out and attracting flies. The next day, he would add the leftover morning curd on top of the ash. The result is a two-layered semi-soft cheese with a complex fruity flavor and a slight tang. The two layers of the cheese have slightly different flavors, with the layer from the evening milking tasting fruitier ... Detail |
Kerrygold Dubliner - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 6753from: igourmetOur review: :Dubliner was first described to us as a mixture between Cheddar and Parmigiano Reggiano. This description is quite accurate. 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.

Queso Manchego Cheese 'El Trigal'(more) »rank: 7780from: EL TRIGALOur review: :Our mild young Manchego has a very smooth flavor. Packaged in a handy 2 lb. wheel, this Manchego is small enough to handle and big enough to share. This quality cheese has Queso Manchego D.O. seal of authenticity, attesting to its high quality. Because this young cheese has been cured only 30 to 90 days, it is fresh and mild. Serve slices or wedges of this pleasant cheese as tapas or snacks with olives, accompanied by sherry, beer or sangría. It is also great served as a light dessert accompanied by traditional membrillo -- quince preserve -- fig wheels, fresh fruit or ... Detail |

San Simon from Spain (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 8164from: igourmetOur review: :Surrounded in the west and north by the Atlantic Ocean and mountains from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, Galicia has always been a remote region of Spain. This isolation fostered an ancient cheese culture. Here, the Galacia cows graze on the lush green pastures and bear milk that its people have been making into cheese for generations in the town of Villalba. San Simon is aged two to four weeks, lightly pressed, and then gently smoked for two weeks after leaving the mold. Inside its red, polished brown rind, San Simon has a creamy, buttery, smoky flavor that ranges from mild to ... Detail |
Epoisses (8.8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 7392from: igourmetOur review: :Made in a tiny town in the Burgundy region of France, Epoisses is one of the great cheeses of the world. It is a name-controlled cheese that has a very pungent aroma and rich, creamy interior. Each cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that a creamy, white interior with a delightfully daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm. This handcrafted cheese is first washed in brine, then cured in humid cellars for four weeks. After this brief aging period, the rind is rinsed with Marc de Bourgogne, a liqueur that is a by-product of the local wine ... Detail |

Boschetto al Tartufo Bianchetto (1.3 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 4752from: igourmetOur review: :Boschetto is about as amazing as a cheese gets. Its base is a sweet, tender and mild cheese made from a careful balance of cows and sheeps milk. Mixed throughout are shavings of rare white truffle that transform the cheese into a powerfully addictive delicacy. The master cheesemaker at Il Forteto has struck a precious harmony between the pronounced, pungent taste of the extremely scarce (and expensive) white truffle and the blended milk cheese. The result is a scent and a flavor that simply bowls you over with delight. To separate this product from the rest of their product line, Il Forteto ... Detail |
