Bleu d'Auvergne

Bleu d'Auvergne

Bleu d'Auvergne

  • Country: France
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-soft; Blue
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 30 days
Compared to Roquefort, its super-intense and crumbly relative, Bleu d'Auvergne has a creamier texture and a more subtle, rustic flavor. For a special treat, serve it with Sauterne and toasted nuts, or with a full bodied red wine. Bleu d'Auvergne is great crumbled on a tossed salad or add it directly to your freshly made vinaigrette to mellow the acidity. Try a small piece on a slice of apple for a beautiful, healthy snack!

In the US, as well as Internationally, Grafton Village Cheese Company is renowned for its Cheddar products. They are part of the New Wave of American Farmhouse Cheesemakers, who have been energizing our taste buds with distinctive farmhouse cheeses for a decade or so. Quality and incredible tastes that will wake up your palate are still the hallmarks of this company's products. Their savory cheddars are made with milk from selected herds of Vermont Jersey cows, whose milk is known for its extraordinary creaminess and high butterfat content. Farmers owning these herds have signed affidavits stating that their animals will not be treated with synthetic bovine growth hormones. These cheddars are 100% natural, and free of any chemical preservatives or additives.

Marieke Foenegreek Gouda

Marieke Foenegreek Gouda

  • Country: United States
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 2-4 months

Based in Thorp, Wisconsin, Marieke® Gouda was founded in 2006 by husband and wife team Marieke and Rolf Penterman. Originally from the Netherlands, Marieke missed the Gouda style cheeses she grew up with, so after two years of study, she created her first wheel. Just four months later, her first round of the Foenegreek Gouda was submitted to the US Cheese Championships and won a gold medal. Since then the Foenegreek Gouda has won numerous medals from various US and international competitions. The Foenegreek Gouda is made as a traditional gouda with the addition of fenugreek, an herb which gives the cheese a sweet and nutty flavor similar to maple syrup.

  • Country: United States
  • Cheese Texture/Type: Semi-firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 4-6 months

The Erb family's New Hampshire farm has been nestled in the foothills of the White Mountains since the 1950’s, but married couple Doug and Debbie Erb left the milk commodity business in 2008 to begin making cheese. Though the cheese bears the name of their farm, Landaff, it is actually crafted in the style of the Welsh cheese Caerphilly. The couple learned to make this traditional cheese from the Duckett family in Somerset, England.

L'Etivaz

L'Etivaz

L'Etivaz

  • Country: Switzerland
  • Cheese Texture/Type: firm
  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 12 months

L’Etivaz, named after a small Swiss mountain village, is said to be made as Gruyere cheese was once made over a century ago. An AOP designated cheese, L'Etivaz is made from milk from a small cooperative of 76 cheesemakers that felt that government regulations were enabling cheesemakers to produce Gruere in a way that compromised its original flavor profile and integrity. In the 1930s they created L’Etivaz and eventually sought and obtained AOP designation.

L'Amuse Gouda

L'Amuse Gouda

L'Amuse Gouda

  • Country: Netherlands

  • Cheese Milk Type: Cow
  • Cheese Age: 18-24 months

Procured and aged at the renowned Fromagerie L'Amuse in Santpoort-Noord, Holland, just outside of Amsterdam, each batch of L’Amuse Gouda is selected for us by L’ Amuse owner Betty Koster. It’s aged for over a year, allowing big crunchy flavor crystals to develop. Over the years, owners Betty and Martin Koster have built up the L’Amuse brand to be one of the more respected gouda producers in the country through their affinage, or cheese maturation process.
