Stilton |
| According to Trevor Hickman, resident of Wymondham in East Leicestershire
and a Stilton historian, the background of the cheese is somewhat
cloudy. A blue-veined cow’s milk cream cheese was produced
by farmers at Wymondham as soon as pastures were enclosed, but
the first written reference to Stilton cheese was in 1722. Other
references made about the same time clearly indicate that Stilton
was very popular even then. |

French Brie |
| This creamy cheese is made with incredibly rich milk, producing
a voluptuous center. Because the wild grasses and flowers flavor
the milk, each has a unique flavor, influenced by the flora of
a particular time and place. Its silky texture and nutty, whipped
cream flavor make it particularly good with a light champagne. |

Antique Emmenthaler |
| This cheese is produced in the central cantons of Switzerland.
It's a traditional, unpasteurized, hard cheese made from cow's
milk.The aroma is sweet with tones of fresh-cut hay. The flavor
is very fruity, not without a tone of acidity. Emmental has walnut-sized
holes. It is considered to be one of the most difficult cheeses
to be produced because of it's complicated hole-forming fermentation
process. We found it delicious with a glass of Jura Blanc! |
