Reypenaer V.S.O.P. is truly a Dutch gourmet cheese showpiece. Magnificent and well deserved of the V.S.O.P. designation.
This delicious gourmet cheese from the Netherlands is matured for about 2 years and during that maturation sheds approximately 25% of its original weight. The white spots you will see on the surface indicate the start of mineral and protein crystallization. In comparison to most cheeses that are aged from a few weeks to a few months, this is a masterpiece long in the making. ... |

Reypenaer cheese, one of the great Dutch cheeses, is carefully matured for about 1 year. This Dutch gourmet cheese is aged less than the Reypenaer VSOP, although it is already very old as cheeses go. It does not have the sharper tangy taste of the Reypenaer VSOP, instead it has a soft and creamy flavor that lingers on the palate. Simply delicious!
At the International Nantwich Cheese Show (UK) in 2007, Reypenaer was awarded Gold Trophy for Best Continental cheese.

Firm Shropshire Blue cheese was originally invented and produced in Scotland, but is now made by some of the Stilton cheese producers. Indeed, it is made in exactly the same way as Stilton except that annatto is added to the milk with the starter culture and the mold. This British gourmet cheese has nothing to do with Shropshire.
Shropshire Blue cheese comes in drums with a rough brown rind. The paste is bright orange in color with vivid blue veining. The texture is firm and creamy, but also slightl... |

Semi-soft Le Vache de Chalais looks like a Banon, and is made from cow's milk, as the name indicates. It is truly a gourmet cheese, wrapped in chestnut leaves or grape leaves that has been soaked in white wine (eau de vie), and tied with raffia.
This lovely cheese comes from the Provence, which is the same region as Saint Marcellin. When the cheese is young, it is chalky and crumbly, with a sweet-tart tang, but during ripening, when the leaves become more brittle and turn brown, the cheese becomes creami... |
Epoisses is made in a small town in Burgundy, in France and is one of the great gourmet cheeses of France and of the world. Each gourmet cheese is covered in an edible reddish-brown coating, and underneath that coating is a creamy, soft, white interior with a daunting aroma that comes straight from the farm, often said it is a candidate for the top ten most pungent French cheeses. Epoisses is produced in small discs and is washed in Marc de Bourgogne as it ripens.
The flavor is deliciously rust... | |
