Description: Fourme D'Ambert comes from the Auvergne region of France and is usually recognizable by its cylindrical shape. Fourme d'Ambert is one of France's oldest cheeses, dating from the Roman period.

Cheese Name: Gouda (Aged) |
|
Description: Traditionally, Gouda is produced in Holland, using cow's milk. But Gouda is such a popular cheese that it can now be found throughout the world. Aged Gouda is an entirely different product than its fresh-tasting unaged little sister. As the cheese ages and matures, it develops an intense sharpness and nutty flavor, reminiscent of parmigiano. The five year versions can have butterscotch, caramel tones. |

Cheese Name: Piave del Veccio |
|
Description: Piave cheese is named after the river Piave, whose source is found at Mount Peralba in Val Visdende, in the northernmost part of the province of Belluno, Italy. A winding course brings the river toward the bottom of the valley, until it reaches the plain at the foot of the Prealpi Venete mountains in the province of Treviso. The area surrounding the river is also where the milk is collected to produce Piave. The cheese has an intense, full-bodied flavor that comes from aging at least a year, which makes this cheese absolutely unique. |
