Comté Excellence

France

With 13 - 18 months of ripening, the Comté AOP Affinage d’ Excellence is made exclusively from the raw milk of Montbéliarde cows fed only with grass and hay. It has been selected exclusively by their master cheesemaker throughout France. The wheels are made the traditional way in alpine dairies and sent to Fort Lucotte, Marcel Petite’s ripening center, to complete their ripening lasting 13-18 months. It entices with subtle notes of dried fruits, fresh hazelnut and curry and the enticing smell of gratin.

Crema di Parmigiano Reggiano con Tartufo

Italy

Parmiggiano Reggiano, the world-famous Italian cheese, becomes a spreadable cream! Made with real DOP Parmigiano Reggiano, this spreadable cream with truffle is excellent on crackers or added to a sandwich, but also as an ingredient for many types of pasta.

Grand Noir

Bavaria, Germany

Grand Noir is a luxurious, creamy German blue cheese distinguished by its hand-dipped black wax rind, which helps develop its silky texture and intense, sweet-and-spicy flavor with bold blue veins. A cousin to Cambozola, it's known for its rich, melt-in-your-mouth consistency and pairs wonderfully with sweet wines (like Riesling), champagne, figs, honey, nuts, and dried fruits

Fromage de Raclette

French & Swiss Alps

Raclette is a semi-hard cheese produced in the French and Swiss Alps. It is traditionally known as Valais Raclette and made from the unpasteurized milk of cows grazing on alpine meadows. The name Raclette comes from the French word 'racler,' which means 'to scrape' because herders would place the cheese next to a fire in the evening and then scrape the cheese across some bread, potatoes, pickles, or cured meats. Pair with Pinot noir, Sauvignon Blanc.

Gorgonzola Picante

Italy

Gorgonzola Piccante is an aged (300+ days), firm, and crumbly Italian blue cheese with a pungent, sharp, and intensely savory flavor profile. Ideal for melting into risotto, polenta, pasta sauces, or topping steaks and burgers.

Ambrosi’s Gorgonzola Piccante is aged for 80 days to develop its distinctive bite, but traditional Gorgonzola can be aged for much longer—sometimes for as long as six months! As with many cheeses, the origins of Gorgonzola lie somewhere between probability and myth. Italians tell of a young cheesemaker who, distracted from his task of drying curds, mixed his crumbly curds with a new batch, resulting in a strange “bluing” phenomenon a few weeks later

Lavender Gooda®

Holland

Produced in Holland, a young (approx. 4-12 weeks) Gouda. This vibrant, herbal cheese pairs well with fresh fruit and crackers as part of a charcuterie board. You can also enjoy this cheese, sliced or cubed, with a glass of wine. Or serve it melted on toasted bread with fresh herbs, a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, and pinch of sea salt.

La Tur

Piedmont, Italy

La Tur is a soft-ripened, Italian mixed-milk cheese from Piedmont, produced by Caseificio dell'Alta Langa.  It is a blend of cow, sheep, and goat's milk, known for its, gooey texture, pale, wrinkled rind, and a delicate, creamy, tangy, and slightly earthy flavor.  A Triple Threat!

Mélange

Petaluma, California

Andante Dairy's Melange is a small, soft-ripened, mixed-milk cheese produced in Petaluma, California, by cheesemaker Soyoung Scanlan. It is known for its blend of pasteurized cow's milk and goat's milk, offering a combination of rich flavor and tangy, herbaceous notes

Phoebe

Newberg, Oregon

From the Briar Rose Creamery in Newberg, this Semi-soft, cow’s milk cheese is rubbed with brine and hugged with French Spruce bark. Flavors of Pine & balsam, rosemary, raspberries & cream, damp campfire, lemon curd, toasted almonds and custard. Ham & bacon too! Made with organic Ayrshire cow’s milk. Funkytown.  Pasteurized.  Aged 8+ weeks. Reminiscent to the french/swiss Vacherin Mont D’Or

Phoebe is also Greek.  She’s a Titan, an ancient race of giant gods and goddess who lived before the time of Zeus, Hera, and Apollo, the gods of Mt. Olympus.  She’s the Goddess of Prophetic Radiance.  Her name means “bright intellect, radiant and prophetic, or Bright Moon.”  Phoebe is seen as the Titan goddess of prophecy and oracular intellect and myths call her the 3rd prophet at the Oracle at Delphi.

Wensleydale with Lemon & Honey

Somerset, England

A fresh, young cheese aged only three weeks, Wensleydale Lemon and Honey is made from milk drawn from cows grazing the sweet limestone pastures of farms in Upper Wensleydale in Yorkshire. The limestone provides the cheese a unique flavor and a superb texture. A great dessert cheese, some say it tastes like limoncello or their favorite cheesecake.

Pair with Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato, Prosecco, or light wheat beers.
