Roncal |
| Roncal is not only a name-protected cheese, but was the first
cheese to be granted that honor by Spain in 1981. It's made in
the Roncal valley, in the Navarre region, where some of the registered
sheep herds which produce the milk date back to the thirteenth
century! It has an olively and rich flavor that has been savoured
in Spain for almost 3000 years, but is difficult to find in this
country. It is traditionally enjoyed with Navarra red wines of
the same region. |

Bourdin Goat Log |
| This style of fresh goat log is a staple in French markets,
and for very good reason. It has a soft and moist texture and
a gentle but creamy flavor. While this wonderfully versatile cheese
may be eaten by itself, it is the perfect backdrop to let your
culinary imagination run wild! It can be paired with fruit, honey
or preserves and is perfect to add depth into any salad. A traditional
European way of serving fresh goat cheese is alongside olives
and/or olive oils. |

Pont L’Eveque |
| Pont L’Eveque is made on the bridge that gave it it's name in Normandy, France. It is
similar to a camembert, but the rind is “washed” before
aging with a brine solution. This gives the square-shaped cheese
a much more pronounced flavor and a rustic, farmyard aroma. It
is particularly well suited to full bodied red wines. |
