Valencay (7.8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com Review



Valencay (7.8 ounces) by Gourmet-Food.com Feature

  • Imported from France
  • Goat's Milk
  • Firm Texture
  • Picture depicts two Valencays
Valençay A.O.C. is a French gourmet cheese; a truncated pyramid that looks good on a cheese tray. According to French legend, Napoleon admired it too and this cheese's peculiar shape is his doing. Valençay was originally a true pyramid with a pointed top. But after a losing campaign in Egypt, Napoleon grew angry at the sight of this pyramid-shaped cheese and chopped off its top with his sword. The Valençay is made by allowing the curd to drain in a mould, it is then removed and covered with salted charcoal ash and allowed to ripen for about 4 to 5 weeks. During this period the rind of the Valençay will thicken slightly and acquire blue marks. The taste of this gourmet cheese is mellow and savory; the pate texture is fine-grained and cream. Each Valencay is packed in a small wood box.

Constant Bliss - Jasper Hill

Constant Bliss - Jasper Hill Review



Constant Bliss - Jasper Hill Feature

  • 6 pcs
  • Made in Vermont
  • Milk Type: Raw Cow
  • Texture: Soft-ripened
  • This item is perishable and requires expedited shipping and handling. Expedited charges will be calculated at check out.
While Constant Bliss was originally made to resemble French Chaource, the recipe was modified and the resulting cheese hardly even resembles it. Constant Bliss is a slow ripened lactic curd made only with fresh, whole, right out of the cow, raw, evening milk. This is not a double or triple crème cheese as is sometimes thought. Seasonal variations in the milk result in variations on the surface and flavor of the cheese.

Chabichou du Poitou by Artisanal Premium Cheese

Chabichou du Poitou by Artisanal Premium Cheese Review



Chabichou du Poitou is one of the older French cheeses. It has won name-protection (DOP), guaranteeing the authenticity of its origin. It is made in the very limited geographic area above the chalky soils of the threshold of Poitou, halfway between Paris and Bordeaux. The size of a wine tumbler, Chabichou has a crinkly skin and nice, dense, chalky paste that melts in the mouth. Firm and complex with a lingering, tangy finish, Chabichou pairs well with Pouilly-Fume, Sancerres and Muscadets from the region in addition to Sauvignon Blanc. One piece weighs approximately 6 ounces.

Castelmagno Cheese Wheel (14 pound)

Castelmagno Cheese Wheel (14 pound) Review



Castelmagno Cheese. Price per 14/lb wheel. Castelmagno Cheese  DOP is a Gourmet Italian Cheese that comes from the name of a famous sanctuary dedicated to Saint Magnus, a Roman soldier who, legend has it, was martyred in the Cuneo mountains. Castelmagno cheese began to be made during the twelfth century, more or less at the same time as Gorgonzola with which it shares some similarities. Castelmagno is a cylindrical pressed, semi-fat semi-hard cheese tinged with blue mould. Castelgmano Cheese is made from cow's milk, though sheep's or goat's milk may be added. Castelmagno is made in a number of town districts in the province of Cuneo. Castelmagno Cheese PDO can be produced, matured and packed exclusively in the administrative region of the communes of Castelmagno, Pradleves and Monterosso Grana in the province of Cuneo . The milk intended for the processing must also come from the same communes.Castelmagno can boast the additional mention "Prodotto della montagna" (Mountain product) when the milk production, the processing and the maturing take place in classified areas such as the mountains. If, on the other hand, the castelgmano cheese is produced and matured in the identified area of production, but at an altitude of over 1000 m , it can bear the mention "di Alpeggio" (from mountain pastures).
