Hailing from the Normandy region of northwestern France, Saint Andre is a triple crème cow's milk cheese with a high fat (75%) content that can be contributed to the addition of velvety heavy cream, making it dense, buttery and rich.

While the inside is ivory white in color, the rind is covered with a velvety and powdery bloomy mold to protect the creamy contents inside.

Saint Andre can best be described as an intense version of Brie.

Description Coming Soon

Lamb Chopper has a buttery color, smooth texture, and is mild on the palate, but don’t equate “mild” with “lack of complexity” — this is a nutty, subtly sweet cheese that’s semi-firm and meltable, thanks to the higher fat in sheep milk.

Aged three months, Lamb Chopper® is a real crowd pleaser and a favorite with kids — some might even call it the “type O” cheese.

 

Pairings

• Serve melted with sauteed mushrooms and polenta.
• Shave over a melon, mint and prosciutto salad
• Beer Pairing: Brown Ale, IPAs, or Porters
• Wine Pairings: Sauvignon Blanc, Unoaked Chardonnay or a Vouvray

A monger favorite among the truffle cheeses. Semisoft gouda with tangy goat flavor that combines beautifully with earthy black truffles to create a robust gouda.

 

This favorite from Beecher’s fleet of artisan cheeses celebrates the great thirteenth-century adventurer Marco Polo – credited with bringing pepper and other discoveries to Europe.

Beecher’s Marco Polo takes lightly milled and cracked green and black peppercorns and blends them with our creamy cheese. The resulting cheese is rich in savory umami and butter notes.

Sometimes compared to Brie, Fromager d'Affinois has a white, flossy rind but the interior paste is much more ivory in color. The texture is soft, smooth and yielding, with a tendency to become runny under the rind and remain quite a bit firmer in the center - thereby creating two textures in one.

Flavors are mild and subdued, with notes of salt and a slight hint of mushrooms.

Perfect Pairings:

• Pairs well with many wines. However, it goes particularly well with champagne or sparkling wine, since the effervescence cuts the richness of the cheese and cleanses the palate.
• Delicious with crackers and jelly

It is the quality of milk from the rich, green pastures of North Holland that gives this award winning cheese it's incredible flavor.

The land rises up from low-lying seas into the earth dispursing the ocean clay which is especially rich in mineral sediment into the surrounding fields. All of this makes the milk from this area noticeably sweeter and richer than any other Dutch milk.

 

Serving Suggestion 
Appetizer, Main Course or Dessert

This four-year aged gourmet cheese has a deep flavor with caramel overtones and tiny salt crystals.

It makes a great table cheese and is fantastic for dessert with wine, beer, port or your favorite drinks.

You’ll enjoy the heavy floral, herbaceous, and mushroom notes in this earth-shaking masterpiece. If you love Humboldt Fog and can’t get enough of truffles, this is the cheese for you.

Like other soft-ripened cheeses, Truffle Tremor® has a bloomy rind that allows the cheese to ripen from the outside in. As Truffle Tremor® continues to ripen and mature, the creamline develops and the flavor intensifies — an ooey-gooey, ripe Truffle Tremor is not for the faint of heart.
