Grate it over pasta, vegetables or soup, or serve it as a table cheese drizzled together with more virgin olive oil. (8 oz.)
  • Mountain Gorgonzola - Italy's famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from whole cow's milk taken from local herds this graze on stunning rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete not including a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. (8 oz.)
  • Pecorino Toscano - This soft, 3 month sheep's milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. A natural associate together with pears! We locate this this combination well stands for the wide diversity of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses. (8 oz.)

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Excellent Cheese Selection!   2010-01-18
By David Altekruse (Fremont, CA USA)
We had a tasting party and everyone enjoyed all of these cheeses. The assortment was varied and interesting ranging from mild to an excellent pungent Gorgonzola (my favorite). All were excellent. The packaging was also first class. My only complaint is that there is now none left. However, I've solved that problem by signing up for iGourmet's cheese of the month club!

Bought this for my Italian in-laws. It was delivered quickly (considering this is a few days before Christmas) and they LOVED it! Perfect gift for them.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Wonderful and different - We loved it.   2009-01-08
By Wood Wren (U.S.A.)
This is one of the nicest samplers I have ever received. Each variety was excellent. I served it at a party and received rave reviews. The quality of the cheese was excellent, well packed, and for the price, worth every penny. Like another reviewer here though, I would have appreciated it if the cheese had been accompanied by an explanation just what it was, what area it was made in and that sort of information. I am certainly not an expert on cheese from this country and was rather clueless as to what I was eating. Other than that it was great and I am not going to mark down the rating simply because of my own ignorance of the subject as there it is all taste matters.

I plan to order several of these samplers for friends this year.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  What a treat   2008-03-04
By J. Wood (Minot , ND United States)
My husband and I ordered this sampler as a special treat, and now we are hooked! The cheese was incredible with our favorite wines, and made for a fun and beautiful late dinner (i.e. the kid was in bed) with warm olives a baguette and some prosciutto! We also ordered some asiago to go with it. DELICIOUS.
