Cave Aged Gruyere Retail Price $13.99 per pound
One of our most popular cheeses, Cave-Aged Gruyere has a wonderfully creamy texture, complimented with tiny salt crystals that form as the cheese ages; this makes our Gruyere stand out from all of the other Gruyeres out there in the cheese world. Its assertively nutty, fruity flavor makes a wonderful match with Burgundies, Alsatians, and even Chateauneuf du Pape. A great melting cheese, Gruyere is essential for fondues, French Onion soup, and dishes such as Chicken Cordon Bleu. Stop by for a free sample--you'll love this cheese!

Full of flavor, this creamy blend of goat's and cow's milks has a rich, semi-soft texture that melts in your mouth. Perfect with pates, sausages, ales, and nuts, all of which pair beautifully with the cheese's fruity, slightly nutty, salty flavors and velvety texture.

This is my favorite cheese in the case. It is a massive blue from Northern Spain. Dick Rodgers' version of this cheese uses a blend of sheep's, cow's and goat's milk to produce this unparalleled monster.

Epoisses, France
Retail Price $19.99 each
Packaged in round wooden containers, this pungently soft, washed rind cheese just oozes with flavor. With its custardy consistency, Epoisses is the ultimate appetizer served with warm, crusty bread, Pinot Noirs, or any full-bodied reds. Deelicious!

Drunken Goat Cheese, Murcia, Spain
Retail Price $14.99 per pound
This mild agreeable, moist goat's cheese is washed with the local vino tinto (red wine). The wine, heavy in tannins and rich in color, not only gives the exterior of the cheese a dramatic visual effect, but it also enhances the mild flavor of the cheese with its fruitiness and luscious, grapey aroma. This style of cheese is delicious with crisp fresh white wine like the Domaine Du Pouy, or a softer red like Beaujolais or Cotes du Rhone.
