The Mediterranean Cheese Course Collection

The Tipsy Goat from Spain (Goat milk) – This cheese hails from La Mancha, the literary home of Don Quixote, where it is made from goat milk and aged for over 40 days. It gets "Tipsy" from being bathed in local red wine. As a result, the rind is imparted with a deep violet hue that contrasts strikingly with the snow white interior. It is smooth and mildly tangy with an intoxicating bouquet.

Port Salut® from France (Cow milk) – Crafted as a consequence of religious persecution during the French Revolution. Trappist Monks were driven to exile in Switzerland where they learned a new trade – cheesemaking. They returned to France in 1815 where they continued to perfect their craft at the abbey of Notre Dame du Port-du-Salut. Now made in the Brittany region of France, this cheese has a divinely rich and buttery flavor.

Piave from Italy (Cow milk) - Evocative of Parmigiano-Reggiano, Piave has a distinctive and robust flavor with nuances of toasted nuts and caramel.

The three cheeses in this collection are excellent! It was so nice to receive the delicious almonds, confit for cheese
and crostini. I never know what to serve with cheese and the cheese guide was so helpful! I was able to make a
beautiful cheese plate for my guests.rnThis is an excellent gift to give! Whenever I don't know what to get someone,
this is what I will get!
