While we all have our traditional favorites, there is something special about discovering a great new cheese. And, the best way to experience a new cheese is to try it. For those of you looking to expand your cheese repertoire, we have crafted a four cheese sampler from four continents of some little-known gems to serve at your next get-together. This assortment includes: - Volendam (Europe): If you are a Gouda lover, then this creamy Gouda is a must have! A staple for every refrigerator. (8 oz)
- Hard Grana Provolone (South America): Originally from Lombardia, Italy, this cow's milk cheese was brought by Italian immigrants to Argentina. The cheese is recognized by its particular pear shape. During the aging stage, the cheese is hung (wrap and secure with a rope). This hard Provolone cheese develops a sharp, piquant flavor with age. (8 oz)
- Great Ocean Road Cheddar (Australia): This sharp white cheddar hails from Australia, where it joins Stokes Point and Mainland Cheddar as a new favorite from down under. A buttery flavor separates this cheese from it's English inspiration. (8 oz)
- Atalanta Blue (North America): Atalanta is the Greek goddess of hunt, travel, and adventure. The name Atalanta is thus appropriate for this new blue cheese from Wisconsin. It's a bold , crumbly cow's milk cheese that took several years to perfect. Enjoy it crumbled over salads, stirred into sauces, or on crackers. (8 oz)
Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value. | | | Features: | |

A Pleased Igourmet CustomerNov 24, 2009
By George Heiser If you enjoy good quality cheese you already know it can be a bit pricey. But Igourmet seems to be able to sell and deliver high quality cheeses from around the world at affordable prices. Their packaging is outstanding in that every order I've ever received from them is always fresh and sent in refrigerated boxes that protect the cheese from damage and from spoiling. Once checked in and opened...we use the cheese up rather quickly. I recommend Igourmet and their very many products!

cheese pleaseFeb 11, 2010
By Cindy Rossetto

This cheese assortment is wonderful. It's a great assortment. The blue is outstanding. It's fine for just eating with some fruit, crumbled over a salad, and I also made the best sauce to put on rib eye steaks!The provolone is like a nice Parmesan. I grated it over pasta, garlic bread, it was delicious. The cheddar was creamy and the Volendam is very tasty. Nice selection.

igourmet is a rip offDec 27, 2009
By Terry Briscoe Avoid IGourmet like the plague. I ordered an item on Dec. 18 as a Christmas gift. I was charged $14 shipping for a $19 item. It wasn't even shipped until Dec. 26. Igourmet gave me the run-around in the mean time. I would have had plenty of time to have another item shipped on Amazon or send a gift card to get there by Dec. 24. In my opinion, Amazon should drop Igourmet. This company is going to make Amazon look bad. After my experience, I have second thoughts about using any Amazon vendor ever again.
