Chevron
A delicious cheese made from goat's milk. It is flavorful and has a to-die-for texture! Very soft and molded into a log, phenomenal with wine, especially Sauvignon Blanc and most red wines.
Pecorino Romano
This aged Italian favorite is a legendary sheep's milk cheese. It is slightly spicy, sharp and tangy, excellent with red wines, tawny port, salami, bread and soups.
Gruyere
Has a delightfully nutty, spicy yet sweet flavor. It's one of the firmest of the famous Swiss Cheeses. It ages for as little as 4 months and has smaller eyes than other Swiss Cheeses. Pairs well with white wines such as Gewurztraminer, Dry Riesling, and red wines Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Merlot.
Jarlsberg
This sweet and nutty Swiss Cheese goes well with any wine of your choice or ales. Red wine accentuates its sweet, nutty flavor.
Gloucester with Stilton
Imported from England, two great classics combine to give layer upon layer of flavor. Creamy Stilton is sandwiched between an exterior layer of mellow satiny Gloucester. Excellent with crackers and fruit. Pairs well with robust red, Napa Cabernets or Merlot wines or Port. Also tastes great with beer.
Manchego
Produced in Central Spain's LaMancha Region, a rich, nutty, firm cheese full of zesty and exuberant flavor, its texture is firm but not dry. Great with Kalamata Olives – so we've added them for you to enjoy! Try this with a Port, Zinfandel or Tempranillo, along with fresh bread and olive oil…a dry sparkling wine brings out its earthy qualities.
Applewood Cheddar
Golden Cheddar Cheese with a unique and delicate smoky flavor, dusted in Paprika, from England – Great with Beer and most wines.
Havarti
For those who enjoy a mild and mellow, creamy cheese. Pairs well with salami, fruit and bread, Merlot or Sauvignon Blanc
Fontinella This domestic cheese is aged over 2 months, a distinctively sweet and creamy, smooth cheese with a hint of sharpness. A nice complement to fruit and crackers with red wine.
Extra Sharp Cheddar
For those who appreciate and enjoy a rich, tangy cheddar. This cheddar is full of flavor and displays intense tanginess. Pairs well with salads, soups, good ales or hearty red wine.
Blue Cheese
This extra creamy Danish Blue cheese is imported and pairs well with wine, especially full bodied, hearty red wine, big zinfandels, Italian reds also Porter and Stout Beer or Fine Port.
Gouda
Imported from Holland, this pleasantly mild, yet uniquely intense, creamy and semi-sweet cheese is a great snack and pairs well with French bread and wine, especially white wine. Also goes well with lagers.
