Riesling wines originate from Germany's Rhein and Mosel river valleys and can be highly fruity; aromas of apple, peach and pear with some floral undertones. A Riesling can be dry to sweet as well as light to full-bodied. Our Riesling Cheese Board pairs well with a Riesling Spatlese (meaning 'late harvest', a wine from fully ripe grapes):

Nutty cow's milk cheese: Gruyere - a large wheel produces a salty, nutty and meaty flavor with small crystals in the interior of the cheese (8 oz.).
Washed rind cheese: Fontina - sweet and nutty, Fontina has a complex, balanced taste and a light aroma(8 oz.)
Aged cheese: Matured Mimolette- the older the drying, this orange ball-from cheese has a butterscotch aroma and is said to be made to resemble Dutch Edam (6 oz.).
Soft-ripened cheese: Camembert from France with a mushroomy aroma and a soft seductive texture and flavor (8.8 oz.).

Part of this Riesling Cheese Board Set is a Small Presentation Knife with wooden handle: a small and handy version of the larger presentation knife; especially for a comprehensive cheese assortment (board not included).
