Grana Padano, Aged Over 18 months - 1 Pound

Grana Padano, Aged Over 18 months - 1 Pound Review



Grana Padano, Aged Over 18 months - 1 Pound Feature

  • Delicious imported Italian cheese
  • Has a unique and grainy consistency
  • Matured and aged for over 18 months to perfection
  • Features a fragrant and delicate taste
  • Offers 1 pound per package
Grana Padano is one of the most famous cheese of Italy. The name Grana was popularly bestowed upon the cheese because of its grainy consistency which was markedly different from the other cheeses known until then. It began to appear with greater frequency as an ingredient in the foods of aristocrats and commoners alike. Grana Padano is a cylindrical, cooked, semi-fat hard cheese which is matured slowly. It is a sweet and savory cheese. It may be used as a table cheese or for grating. A golden rind encases a white or straw-colored fine-grained cheese with crumbly fissures radiating outwards from the center. The taste is fragrant and delicate, and the cheese preserves its integrity for one or two years.

  • Made from Cow's milk

  • Recommended Wine: Hearty Red Wine
  • Product of Switzerland
  • Whole Wheel
In the warm season, the pastures in the heart of the Fribourg Pre-Alps come to life with an almost endless variety of delicately scented flora. In this idyllic setting, you might find a chalet perched precariously on a slope, or an armailli (cowherd) grazing his herd in the fields of this flora. Vacherin Fribourgeois is made in these hills. It has a firm texture and an ivory to yellow colored interior. The flavor of Fribourgeois is fruity and aromatic with a slight bitterness. The cheese is ideal for making fondue but is also delightful when served as part of a cheese board or as a dessert cheese.

Saint Nectaire (8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com

Saint Nectaire (8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com Review



Saint Nectaire (8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com Feature

  • Imported from France
  • Cow Milk
  • Firm Texture
  • Picture depicts an 8-oz. wedge
Saint Nectaire is an ancient French gourmet cheese from the mountains of the Auvergne. This is a raw milk cheese in France and is brought into the USA made with pasteurized milk of mostly Salers cows. The cheese is made in round flat discs. It has a grayish rind with light yellow or reddish patches. The supple paste is pale gold in color and becomes almost runny as it matures. It has a really earthy aroma. The paste alone has a sweet and grassy aroma and this is repeated in the flavor which is only slightly farmyard like. The cheese is firm, though supple, with a moldy smell and a mild flavor. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

Selection of Sheep's Milk Cheeses (1.5 pound)

Selection of Sheep's Milk Cheeses (1.5 pound) Review



Selection of Sheep's Milk Cheeses (1.5 pound) Feature

  • Assortment of three cheeses made from sheep's milk
  • ReNero (Italy), Agour (France), Malagon with Rosemary (Spain)
  • Contains twice as much butterfat as cow's milk
  • Makes a great gift for most anyone who loves cheese
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value
We have put together a memorable selection of three fine sheep's milk cheeses. Or, for the linguists out there - ewe's milk cheeses. Whatever you call them, they are certainly delicious. The pure delight we derive from eating sheep's milk cheese comes from the fact that sheep's milk contains twice as much butterfat as cow's milk. It is the butterfat that gives a cheese its creamy goodness. Here are the selections in this assortment:
  • Pecorino Toscano: From Tuscany (of course), this DOP cheese comes to us in a five-pound wheel preserved by a very thin layer of clear wax. Aged for 40 days, pasteurized Pecorino Toscano balances a slight tang with the inherent sweetness of sheep's milk. (8 oz)
  • Agour Ossau-Iraty: Imported from the French Pyrenees, raw milk Agour is aged for a minimum of 6 months, giving it a quality and complexity rarely seen. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality in the mouth, and the flavors hint at both herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty undertones. (8 oz)
  • Manchego: A specialty from the La Mancha region of Spain, this famous D.O. cheese is an essential part of any tapas course. We savor its nutty sweetness, especially when served with olives and cured ham. Aged three months. (8 oz)
Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

This special Manchego is aged for over 12 months, giving it a sharper, nuttier flavor and a firmer, more brittle texture than its younger namesake.

Manchego Reserve is made using traditional methods under strict quality guidelines. We especially love this cheese served with Rioja wine and fresh fruit.

Comte 15 months (1 pound) by Gourmet-Food.com

Comte 15 months (1 pound) by Gourmet-Food.com Review



Comte 15 months (1 pound) by Gourmet-Food.com Feature

  • Imported from France
  • Cow's Milk
  • Hard Texture
  • Picture depicts an 8-oz. piece
Comte A.O.C. is an ancient French gourmet cheese, also known as Gruyere de Comte; it is made in the Massif of the Jura, a region composed of medium range mountains situated in Franche-Comte, which lies between the Vosges and the Haute-Savoie. The Montbeliard cow is the only breed of cattle whose milk is authorized for making Comte. The cheese is hard, straw-colored, contains some medium-size holes and has a tendency to crack on cutting. Comte has a floral aroma with nutty fudge flavors developing in the more mature cheese. The taste is full of nuts and toffee with a lovely long and salty finish. Older cheeses take on a strong, farmyard-like character. The cheese has a thin beige rind which thickens and hardens as the cheese matures. This cheese is 15 months old and a close cousin of the Beaufort.

  • Imported from Netherlands

Leyden Cheese is the cheese for you if you like cumin seeds, because one or the other is always mixed into the curd. This authentic cheese is in The Netherlands known as 'Leidse kaas' (cheese from the city of Leiden). The cheese is made in flat wheels of varying sizes and carries the city's symbol of two crossed keys. It has a natural yellow rind which may be waxed or be rubbed with annatto to give a deep orange-red color. The paste is similar to Gouda cheese but scattered with seeds. It smells and tastes strongly of cumin or caraway, intensifying as it matures.
