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.

Cheeses for the Guys
Cheeses for the Guys Assortment (2 pound) by igourmet.com
Amazon Price: $32.99 (as of 11/11/2009)
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.)
