Lancashire, Kirkham's by Artisanal Premium Cheese Feature

• Country: Great Britain
• Milk Type: Cow
• Cheese Type: Semi-Firm
• Pairing: Pinot Noir

Kirkham's Lancashire perfectly epitomizes the "butter crumble" texture so characteristic of British cheeses. Mrs. Kirkham - the legendary Lancashire cheesemaker - rubs her beautiful, cloth-wrapped wheels of cow's milk with her farmhouse butter, enriching the taste and protecting them from unwanted molds. Aged for 5 - 8 months, Lancashire has a delicate, lemony flavor and a long-lasting mellow tang.

Pecorino Romano Genuino - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet

Pecorino Romano Genuino - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet Review

Pecorino Romano Genuino - Pound Cut (1 pound) by igourmet Feature

• Imported from Italy
• Fine addition to salads, antipasta platters, accents to finished dishes
• Serve with bold red wines
• Made with sheep's milk
• Dry, hard and perfect to grate

Pecorino denotes sheep's milk in Italian, and Pecorino Romano is one of the oldest and most versatile of these cheeses. Whereas Reggiano and Grana are the favored grating cheese of Northern Italy, Pecorino Romano dominates the southern portion of the country. The original production area of Pecorino Romano is Lazio, the section of Italy that surrounds Rome. The term "Genuino" can only be applied to Romano that is made in Lazio. This special Romano, made from milk taken from a dedicated herd of sheep that live just outside the city of Rome, has a grainy, crumbly texture that is much more flavorful than inferior varieties. A little goes a long way. We enjoy it grated into soups, salads, pastas and gratin casseroles. Sprinkle it over fresh vegetables to add that extra zest.

Don't buy Pecorino Romano pre-grated. As a distinguished cheese pundit remarked, "God didn't make cheese in shakers and it was not born grated". We recommend "grate as you go" because flavor is rapidly lost in powdered form. Tightly rewrap the remaining cheese and store in your refrigerator.

Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound)

Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound) Review

Classic Italian Hard Cheese Comparison (1 pound) Feature

• Assortment of two classic Italian hard cheeses
• Parmigiano Reggiano and Grana Padano Stravecchio
• Compare these two heavyweights head-to-head
• Both are excelleent chunked or grated
• Imported from Italy

In order to appreciate the subtle differences between Grana Padano and Parmigiano Reggiano (they are actually made from the same recipe), one should taste them side-by-side. That is why we have created this special offering, containing 1/2 pound of each. Enjoy them chunked and drizzled with thick 4-Leaf Balsamico, thinly sliced over caesar salad or carpaccio, or grated over soup or pasta. Each of these cheeses has a long, storied history and the two have been rivals for centuries. Let the debate continue!

• Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro Del Tempo: Contrary to popular belief, this grand cheese from the Po Vally is not simply an inferior Parmesan. In fact, a premium Grana Padano rivals the best that Parma has to offer. In this example, we serve our Stravecchio (extra aged) variety which earns the name Gold From Time. (8 oz)
• Parmigiano Reggiano: Internationally known as one of the world's greatest cheeses, by law this hard cheese can only be made in either Parma and Reggio-Emilia from a certain type of milk taken from a certain breed of cow. The law also dictates its minimum aging period, its aging conditions and at least 20 other constraints, meaning that every single 80 pound wheel that gets stamped with the Parmigiano Reggiano brand lives up to a standard that has been lovingly developed over the past 800 years.

Cantal (8 ounce) by igourmet

Cantal (8 ounce) by igourmet Review

Cantal (8 ounce) by igourmet Feature

• Some call it a French Cheddar
• An ancient cheese dating back to the 1st century
• Pair with Beaujolais or any Gamay wine
• Made from pasteurized milk
• Imported from France

Cantal is one of the oldest French Cheeses, predating both Roquefort (11th Century) and Livarot (13th Century). In fact, Pliny the Elder mentions Cantal in his "Historia Naturalis" written in the 1st Century AD. Cantal was originally produced by putting the curd into "le formage", a wooden cylinder, which is believed to be the origin for the French word for cheese. Named after the Cantal Mountains in Auvergne, this cheese has been dear to the French throughout history. For example, in medieval times it was the courtly custom to send a gift of cheese to impress or to people one admired. Cantal is made from raw cow's milk with the curd being heated before pressing. This AOC cheese has a smooth, grayish-brown rind with a smooth, pale yellow, close-textured interior. Cantal has a milky aroma, a nutty flavor with a hint of tangy butteriness, and a slightly acidic finish. Aged from three to nine months, it is prone to blue mold (fleur de bleu) which the French gladly eat, but can also be cut off if this is not your preference. Try Cantal in a French ploughman's platter, in soups or sauces, or to flavor muffins or gratins. But, ignore this description and take advice from a French poet: "To elaborate on Cantal is an error of taste; it is all simplicity".

Sbrinz by Artisanal Premium Cheese Review

Sbrinz by Artisanal Premium Cheese Feature

• Specially-selected cheeses by Artisanal Cheese's team of affineurs
• Artisanal's cheeses are aged to "peak" ripeness in our cheese caves

Sbrinz is considered the "Father of Hard Cheeses" that first received its international legal protection for its making in 1957. This raw milk cheese comes in huge 90-pound wheels and, while similar to Parmigiano Reggiano, Sbrinz is made with whole milk rather than skimmed milk. This gives this magnificent cheese a smoother, nuttier and less salty taste. Sbrinz can age gracefully for eight years or more giving the cheese an increasingly graceful and expansive flavor profile and a fine granular texture.
