Sbrinz (Hard Mountain Cheese) (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 12457from: igourmetOur review: :This hard, grainy cheese is one of the world's oldest, dating back to 23 A.D. Made high in the Alps in Switzerland's central region, Sbrinz is often compared to Parmigiano Reggiano. Like Reggiano, Sbrinz comes in massive 80 pound wheels and is made from unpasteurized cow's milk. Aged for at least 18 months, this cheese is hard enough to grate. The Swiss enjoy it shaved in paper-thin slices and served as an appetizer with air-dried beef and tomatoes. Made from unpasteurized cow's milk.Whole form is 40 lbs.We cut and wrap this item by the 1/2 pound.Please contact us if you would like ... Detail |
Academia Pecorino Dolce(more) »rank: 13695from: Academia BarillaOur review: :This cheese originated in Sardinia. Academia Pecorino Dolce has a fresh milky aroma. This cheese is white colored and slightly firm. We recommend this cheese be enjoyed as a second course or pear with grapes, pears or fresh vegetables such as Fennel, chicory or artichoke hearts. It can also be used to add more flavor to meat rolls, rustic savory pies and typical dishes of Sardinian cuisine. Wines to combine with Pecorino Dolce are: Vermentino di Gallura, Vermentino di Sardegna and Monica di Sardegna. Detail |

Cave Aged Emmental by Emmi (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 11637from: igourmetOur review: :Matured to perfection, Cave Aged Emmental is a special taste experience! Unlike traditional Emmental (also known as Swiss cheese), this one has a dark brown rind and a unique, nutty, full-flavored taste. It is manufactured by Emmi, master cheesemakers since 1782.

Morbier(more) »rank: 11637from: Gourmet Food StoreOur review: :This fruity, creamy cheese is remembered because of the flavorless layer of ash that divides it into halves. It is AOC's 38th member. Produced from cow's milk, it used to be for personal use by the farmers in Comte 200 years ago. Soot is thrown on top in order to prevent a rind from occurring. This cheese matures for 6 weeks before it is ready for sale. Detail |
Blue Castello - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 11558from: igourmetOur review: :This brie-like blue cheese from Denmark is made by Tholstrup, the same company that makes Saga Blue at its factory in the United States. Blue Castello is richer than Saga Blue and is made only in Denmark. Castello is a distant derivative of Italian Gorgonzola but has a higher fat content and a milder flavor. It is a perfect blue for those who like a little blue flavor without being blown away. Detail |

Manteche Artisan Cheese - Wisconsin Cheeseman(more) »rank: 12251from: The Wisconsin CheesemanOur review: :A masterpiece of the cheese-maker's art, made with the utmost care and pride. Artisans hand-shape warm Provolone cheese around a half-pound block of unsalted butter. As it ripens, the flavor of the mild cheese mingles with the rich butter flavor. Slicing it in wedges reveals both the Provolone and the butter, making it a wonderful companion to fruit or bread. Net wt. 2 lb. Detail |
Frantal Emmental (8 ounce) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 11019from: igourmetOur review: :You might think that the only real Emmental (more commonly referred to as Swiss Cheese) comes from Switzerland. You will find, however, that our French Emmental is worthy of the name. It comes from the heart of the French Alps near the chic ski resort of Chamonix. The freshest water in the world rushes down this region's high mountains, through deep valleys and abundant rivers and feeds the French dairy farms that produce Emmental's milk. Frantal Emmental is ripened to perfection in the traditional 180 pound wheels. They are turned weekly in the ripening chambers for a minimum of two months. It ... Detail |

Cave Aged Swiss Gruyere - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet.com(more) »rank: 8932from: igourmetOur review: :This cheese comes to us from Emmi, master cheesemakers since 1782. They buy full 200 pound of Gruyere from the farming regions in the Canton of Fribourg, then age them in underground sandstone caves in their facility near Lucerne. Made from rich, unpasteurized, Alpine cow's milk, this Grand Gruyere Reserve has been aged for at least 1 year, compared with the average 4-6 months. A rustic, somewhat oily rind gives way to firm, smooth textured cheese which is slightly aromatic with a robust, assertive flavor. Wonderful served unadorned with some dark bread and figs, this is also a great melting cheese, and ... Detail |
'Villegas' Baby Manchego Cheese BLUE LABEL(more) »rank: 11710from: VillegasOur review: :We call our Villegas mild sheep's milk cheese 'baby Manchego' because it is too young to earn the official Manchego designation. It has a very smooth flavor and bone white color due to its short aging period of about 1 month. Detail |
