Belgian Cheese Assortment
$19.95!
Long known and respected for its chocolates, Belgium is also a
great cheese country. It is said that, despite its small size, Belgium produces
as many distinct types of cheese as does France. Many of its 300+ varieties are
made in very small quantities and are not exported out of the country. The
examples we do get, however, are quite impressive. This unique assortment
includes three of our favorites:
Passendale: A semi-soft cow's milk cheese with a delicious
flavor and sweet bouquet. It will not offend those with basic tastes, yet will
still wow the gourmets. This semi-soft variety is a little bit sweet, quite
creamy, golden on the inside with small holes beneath a hard but edible rind.
Raphael: Made by the friars of the Postel Abbey, Raphael is
one of their new creations. Named after the angel Raphael, this "real
Abbeycheese" is a washed rind variety aged about 8 weeks. It has a lovely,
creamy flavor and a very smooth texture.
Old Postel: Also from the Trappist monks of the Postel
Abbey, Old Postel has a firm texture, a pleasing aroma, and a slightly salty
flavor. It is aged for over 12 months and is therefore fairly dry and hard
enough to grate. In addition to its rich nutty flavor, Postel has slight hints
of various spices, such as clove and nutmeg.
This assortment includes 1.5 pounds of wonderful Belgian
cheese, for $19.95. Click Here! for more information.
