Hudson Valley Camembert - A creamy, soft-ripened cheese made from the milk of the Old Chatham Shepherding Company's herd of 100 East Fresian sheep, combined with a neighboring farm's hormone-free cow's milk. A gold medal recipient at the 2007 World Cheese Awards, Nancy's Camembert is meltingly smooth and buttery with the texture of a triple-creme.
El Farcell - A pasteurized cow's milk cheese that is produced in Vilatzara, Cataluna. During the five week maturing process, the rind of this cheese is bathed with coffee. This process gives the cheese a subtle smoky taste and a lovely mushroom, earthy aroma.
Monte Enebro - Handmade in Avila, Spain, by legendary cheese maker Rafael Baez and his daughter Paloma. The Baezs make their complex goat's milk cheese from pasteurized milk and innoculate the logs with the same mold used to make Roquefort, adding to Monte Enebro's complexity and distinctive appearance. Monte Enebro arrives creamy, lemony, and slightly acidic; as it ages, the texture becomes denser and the flavor acquires more intense, pungent finish.
Pecorino Toscano - A centuries-old sheep's milk table cheese from Tuscany. It has an ivory interior that tends to become darker and oilier with age. Depending on the age, the texture can range from semi-soft to semi-hard. The aftertaste it leaves on your palate is a wonderfully complex flavor with hints of Tuscan herbs, grass, and wildflowers.
Cabrales - This renowned blue cheese is from the Northern Spanish region of Asturias. It is made from blended unpasteurized cow', goat's, and sheep's milk. The cheese is aged from two to six months in natural caves. During this time, the veins of blue-greenish color are developed. It has a creamy texture with a sharp, tangy flavor, and a powerful bouquet with a strong and persistent flavor.
