Assortment of four world-class Cheddars from three continents Coombe Farm (England), Red Leaf (Canada) and Dairy Vale (Australia) Compare and contrast Enjoy with cider or ale Serve with apples and crusty bread
Along with their conquering armies, the Romans brought their cheesemaking expertise to England in the first century AD. But it was not until the sixteenth century when the cheese we know today as Cheddar was so named. With such a long history, it's no surprise that Cheddar is one of the world's favorite foods. So popular, in fact, that almost every cheese producing nation makes its own version. This assortment contains excellent examples from three continents:
Coombe Farm English Farmhouse Cheddar: Still made by hand on Coombe Farm in Somerset, the county where Cheddar history began. This best-selling Cheddar is rich, tangy and full-flavored. Aged for over 15 months.
Red Leaf Canadian Cheddar: This entrant from North America has a firm texture and a sweet, honeyed flavor. Best enjoyed with ale and fruit, this Cheddar is aged for over 12 months.
Dairy Vale Australian Cheddar: Hailing from down under, Dairy Vale is produced on the farm, and made exclusively from farm-fresh milk. Its earthy flavor, slightly piquant truly sets it apart. Aged for over 12 months.
This assortment contains three 1/2 pound wedges.
Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: If you like sharp cheddar, like fine wine, this is the best Comment: A very high quality selection, with lots of flavor, deep residual secondary
flavors and aroma. It reminds me of a fine wine that's been aged and mellowed. For the price, this is a bargain.
All four cheeses are excellent choices for that special "flavor fest."
Customer Rating: Summary: Happy customer Comment: This arrived promptly in a refridgerated box. I enjoy cheese, but I'm not well versed in gourmet qualities. Happily, I find that I can readily distinguish these four cheeses in a taste sampling. They are all delicious, and the two European varieties are very sharp. By the time the express shipping is added to the order, each block of cheese has a fairly hefty price tag. However, I don't live in a rural area, so I'm pleased Amazon makes this and other specialty cheeses available. Customer Rating: Summary: igourmet cheesy review Comment: Cheddars of the world sampler is just as good as being in another country in person. Sampling the generous sized cheese's with a San Francisco sourdough and a glass of fabulous California wine, and never having to leave the comfort of my own home is the best. Go ahead and treat yourself to a pleasant worldly experience. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Taste Comment: Cheeses tasted great. The only thing I didn't like was the fact that all 4 looked identical. Customer Rating: Summary: If you love cheddar cheese,you will ,like this assortment,of cheeses. Comment: If you love cheddar cheese,you will love this assortment from igourmet.com...The cheese manages to be sharp yet sweet to my pallet...For cheese lovers only...An excellent gift...5 star rated....
