Cheese Selection Includes
- St. Andre – This triple-crème cheese has a velvety-smooth texture and is delicately rich and buttery in flavor. An extraordinary dessert cheese
- Bucheron – Soft, but semi-firm in texture. This cheese when young provides a mild flavor that becomes sharper as it matures. It is a good cheese for salads or for snacking
- Istara – A sheeps milk cheese from the French Pyrenees has a smooth, slightly oily texture and a wonderfully sweet flavor with hints of olive, hazelnut and fig. Aged for 90 days, a real crowd pleaser. This cheese was formally known as Prince de Claverolle Cheese
- Fourm d’Ambert – This is one of France’s oldest blue cheeses. The maturing process takes place in humid cellars. It has a creamy texture with a lasting taste of wine
- Comte – The taste of this cheese is variable depending on the age and the season of the milk. It is typically described as salty, mild, and fruity with subtle hints of nutmeg. From Fromageries Marcel Petite
