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.

(Thursday, 15 October 2009) Rating: This gift was the perfect compliment to complete our entertaining needs. Not only were the cheeses of the highest
gourmet quality, but the accompaniments were a scrumptious addition. All I had to do to prepare for my guests was to
arrange everything on the lazy Susan, consult the notes and serving tips,open the wine, and we were the perfect hosts.

(Wednesday, 14 October 2009) Rating: What a great gift to give! Especially for someone who has everything! When you don't know what to get someone, I
highly recommend this! The 3 cheeses are so good. When you add the almonds, crostini and confit, it's like a party
in your mouth! I sent this to my friend and the good thing about it was that after all the food was gone, she still has
the nice cheese board and knife set for years to come!
