This collection of 8 incredible cheeses, accompanied by two sleeves of imported water crackers, is packed in a keepsake real copper panier, making its appearance as striking as its concept. The following describes the 8 cheeses that combine to create the ultimate basket of cheese: Royal Blue Stilton: Arguably the world's greatest blue cheese, this "King of English Cheeses" is well known for its firm, crumbly texture and cheddary, honeyed flavor. Port Salut: A world famous monastery cheese, Port Salut has a silky smooth texture and a sweet, creamy character. Cahill Farm Cheddar with Porter Ale: Imported from Ireland, this brown-veined cheddar has streaks of dark porter ale running throughout its interior. A wonderful flavor combination! Monte Veronese: From the mountains north of Venice, this high altitude cheese embodies the greatness of northern Italy's cheesemaking prowess. Eminently snackable, it begs to be served with a robust Italian red wine. Allgau Emmentaler: We couldn't create the ultimate cheese basket without including a Swiss, and our German variety fills the bill with style. Nutty and sweet, enjoy it outdoors while grilling. Coombe Farm Cheddar: This wonderful Cheddar from Somerset gets high marks for its complex flavor. Aged for over 12 months. Camembert: For those who like it rich and creamy, this bloomy-rinded cheese oozes when cut into and pairs perfectly with crusty French bread. Beemster Classic Extra Aged Gouda: This Dutch masterpiece always finds its way into our specialty cheese collections, and this is no exception. Loaded with hints of butterscotch and nuts, this 18-month aged gem is sure to be the first Dad cracks into and the one he is least likely to share!Each cheese weighs 1/2 pound. Copper basket includes all 8 cheeses plus two sleeves of imported water crackers.
