Enjoy The Best Gourmet Cheese in the World!
Cheddar Cheese
12 Month Old Cabot Clothbound Cheddar
Cheddar Cheese
Cabot Clothbound Cheddar is the result of a unique collaboration among cheese craftsmen in Vermont. Cabot Creamery makes sixty clothbound wheels each quarter and then ships them off to be skillfully matured in the cellars at Jasper Hill Farm. While the partners differ considerably in scale - Cabot is the largest dairy in Vermont, Jasper Hill one of the smallest - this Old World style cheddar exists thanks to their neighborly cooperation. This specially-selected, twelve-month-old Cabot Clothbound Cheddar, with its sharp, caramelly notes, proves how award-winning cheese and expert affinage combine to create a thing of real beauty. Pair it with an American craft ale or your favorite bottle of California Pinot Noir. Delicious.

Cheeses for the Guys
Cheeses for the Guys Assortment (2 pound) by igourmet.com
Amazon Price: $29.99 (as of 07/14/2009)
After presenting at food shows across the country, we found a handful of crowd favorites that never cease to elicit a wow response from the guys. These cheeses are big and bold, perfect for snacking on whenever hunger calls. If you want to treat your favorite man to a sample of gourmet food (and what better gift for a guy?), these four cheeses are sure to satisfy! This assortment includes:
* Red Leaf Cheddar: The result of 150 years of cheddar-making experience, aged over 12 months, this Canadian cheddar is soft on the palate, yet bursts with a tangy finish. (8 oz.)
* Whiskey Blue:Whiskey Blue is aged with bourbon whiskey, which adds a smoky flavor. A spectacular unpasteurized Wisconsin Blue makes up the base of this cheese, which is then repeated washed down with sweet, smooth bourbon. (8 oz.)
* Bruder Basil: Bruder Basil is made in the tradition of Rauchkase, a smoked cheese typical of the region. Named after a man, not an herb, this specialty was originally produced by Trappist Monks in the abbey of Rotthalmunster. It is smoked over select beechwood embers, a process that lends Bruder Basil its unique flavor. (8 oz.)
* Piave Vecchio: Aged Piave is more intense, with a full-bodied flavor and developed character. A connoisseur's cheese. (8 oz.)

How Much Gourmet Cheese to Purchase?
How much cheese will you need? Follow the guideline below. Please note that you will need to buy more cheese if you are serving it as an hors d'oeuvre at a cocktail reception or on a buffet, as oppose to cheeses that you will slice and serve individually. I recommend you follow these guidelines to determine how much cheese you will need per person:
Hors d'Oeuvres (before dinner) 4-6 oz.
Hors d'Oeuvres (cocktail party) 5-6 oz.
Appetizer Course 3-4 oz.
Main Course 5-6 oz.
Cheese Plate 2-3 oz.

Semi-soft Goat Cheese
Purple Haze Goat's Milk Cheese
Carefully made and very patiently aged to a creamy mellowness and outstanding taste. Natural firm-textured cheese, with a mild nutty flavor - a mighty tasteful gift for family and friends...on any occasion.
Purple Haze is a fresh little goat's milk cheese from Cypress Grove Chevre in Northern California flavored with wild fennel pollen and lavender. The combination of the herbs with the smooth and creamy chevre taste is unique and reconfirms the Provencale/Mediterranean identity of California flavors and cuisine. Here at the Artisanal Premium Cheese Center, we remove the plastic wrapper and drain the residual whey from the cheese, guaranteeing a creamy rather than sour flavor and dramatically improving the texture of the cheese. Pair it with Zinfandel. One piece weighs approximately 4.5 ounces.

Roquefort Cheese
Roquefort Cheese
A young Roquefort has a velvety white paste with blue-green marbling throughout.
A subtle hint of aroma from the combination of curd and Penicillium roqueforti is perceptible.
The taste is one of a Grand Cru: well balanced, reasonably salted, smooth and creamy, it melts in your mouth with a long finish.
The Lacaunes ewes graze in the high altitude plateaus of the Causeess. The rich milk they produce is infused by strain Penicillium roqueforti developed by a baker exclusively for this dairy. It is this unique strain that gives a particular personality to Cave age Roquefort Artisanal.
Pair it with a bold wine from Cahors or desert wines such as Jurancon, Montbazillac or Sauternes. It is appreciate by renowned chef in the 5 continents.
