Specialty Cheeses

Spreadable fresh cheese seasoned with horseradish. Great paired with a baguette, as a sandwich spread, with vegetables, or with just about anything else!

A natural smoked cheese from Germany. The paste of the cheese is white with small eyes and a light smoky flavor. A semi soft texture may make this cheese difficult to slice on a slicer unless you have it nice and cold. Great on sandwiches and it melts well. Use in macaroni and cheese for a new twist.

A young, supple textured pecorino with a creamy base to which crushed red peppers are added. Not overly spicy, the red peppers do not produce much heat, and instead introduce a savory component that adds to the character of the cheese.

This Fourme d’Ambert is made with a special recipe. In addition, it is aged in the cellars of Herve Mons, one of France’s leading affineurs. The flavor of the blue is earthier and meatier than most. The curd is creamier and the texture is chunky/chewy. If there is such a thing as a definitive Fourme d’Ambert, this would probably be it.

Fromager d’Affinois is made by ultra-filtration, a relatively modern process that claims a very high percentage of nutrients and butterfat from the milk during the making of the cheese. This ultra-filtration gives the cheese a silky/satin texture that many consumers really like. In addition, the cheese has a clean, rich, and creamy taste. This crowd pleaser is a great seller.

The upper valley of the Rhone River is home to some of France’s greatest goat herds and pastures. The goat’s milk produced in this area has a clean richness rarely found elsewhere. Bourdin uses only fresh milk to produce this fresh goat cheese and it shows in its flavor, a clean goat’s milk flavor with a slight tang. The texture is just right, not gummy or flaky.

Madrigal is a baby Swiss wheel that comes from France. Its flavor is sweet and mild, with chestnut notes. It is made using whole cow’s milk.

With a natural rind that resembles a cantaloupe and a paste the color of a pumpkin, aged Mimolette is made using the same production methods as Dutch Edam. Its flavor is fruity yet subtle, and improves with age. The taste is slightly salty with notes of butterscotch and an aroma of hazelnut, with a brittle texture that resembles that of a very aged Gouda.
