Cheese by post? Who heard of such a daft thing?! Cheese is alive…it must breathe….to wrap it in plastic and ship it is the act of a philistine!! Nobody who loves cheese and sells it would do this to it! It will arrive sweaty and slack…..the taste and texture will be compromised.
For the foreign stuff you’d be better off toddling along to your local Deli and see what they have….find a Mom & Pop operation and they will probably let you taste and try before you buy….and tell you all about the cheese into the bargain….online buying is NOT always best!! Buying cheese or wine in this way is barmy!! Taste is a vital part of choosing…you CANNOT ‘blind buy’ & expect a good result….support your local Deli I say!!

The actual cheese is GREAT, if you can get them to ship to you. Ordered items as gifts – took over a week to ship. For timely gifts you would be better off going around the corner. Otherwise a great deal.

I received the four cheeses and was somewhat dissapointed because although I enjoyed 3 of the cheeses, only 2 of those 3 were meant to be served as a cheese platter (vs for cooking on the 3rd). The fourth was horrendous and I ended up throwing it away (4 other guests of mine tasted it and agreed that it was not good – we could all tell that it was not spoiled and that it was simply not a good choice for an assortment). I also agree that the assortment should have come with more information about the cheeses themselves along the lines of: You have selected this assortment, cheese names, background, taste descriptions, and serving suggestions (food and wine pairings both). All in all, one of the four cheeses was good enough to add to a watch out list so that I can hope to find it again while shopping at a local store.

Guys, if you are tired of the traditional “wife gifts”, try giving this delicious assortment to her….for no reason at all…besides, who do you think gets to share it. Couple this wonderful sampler with some fresh grapes, fine olives, “Carr’s” Table Water Crackers, Boars Head Sopressata…and of course (2) bottles of New Zealand’s Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc….let’s just say you’ll have an evening to remember….Oh yes, don’t forget the background music! Cheeses were fresh, top quality, and with the complementing sides, a portion that would (if you wanted to) serve 4-6 people easily.

A great selection of cheeses! There were two that were quite potent and two that were milder. All four were excellent, especially with fruit and various sweet and spicy chutneys.
