This is another ancient Norman cheese made in the area of its namesake in town. Though still a washed rind cheese, it is much more restrained that Livarot. The rind is generally not as moist and smelly, but rather with a grassy and mellow bouquet. The flavor is savory, reminiscent of Camembert, with a rich, creamy texture. This smaller version of Pont LEveque will ripen more more quickly than the ... more...

Mimolette may also be called Boule de Lille after the city of Lille where it was created. The cheese is closely related to a Dutch Edam; even the melon-sized wheel with the flattened top and bottom are nearly identical. Mimolette, however, has a natural rind that, over time, will become rough and pockmarked. The interior is a strikingly rich orange color that ages to an orange-brown color. The tex... more...

This is a wonderful version of the traditional Ossau-Iraty-Brebis from the Rigal Family of cheeses. It has a dense, semi-firm texture sometimes broken with a few thing fissures or holes but otherwise compact. The flavor is refined and ballanced -- aromatic herbaceaous and fruity qualities with a buttery rich finish. This cheese is similar in style to an Etorki but has much more character and compl... more...

This is a wonderful version of the traditional Ossau-Iraty-Brebis from the Rigal Family of cheeses. It has a dense, semi-firm texture sometimes broken with a few thing fissures or holes but otherwise compact. The flavor is refined and ballanced -- aromatic herbaceaous and fruity qualities with a buttery rich finish.

These molds give Blue Castello its distinct aroma and flavor. It has a delectably rich and buttery taste accented by its tangy blue veins. The mild flavor develops steadily as long as it keeps, but it ne... more...
