Mimoletta Vieille
This stunning French cheese from Les Moulins is a true artisan masterpiece. Aged to perfection, Mimoletta offers a complex, nutty flavor with a distinctive bright orange hue that comes from natural annatto coloring.
The texture becomes increasingly granular with age, creating a delightful crunch similar to aged Parmigiano-Reggiano. Its rich, fruity notes pair beautifully with robust red wines.
- Origin: France (Les Moulins)
- Type: Hard, aged cheese
- Flavor: Nutty, fruity, complex
Mature Gouda
Our carefully selected mature Gouda showcases the best of Dutch cheesemaking tradition. This isn't your supermarket Gouda – it's an aged masterpiece with crystalline protein deposits that add a delightful crunch.
With its deep caramel sweetness and butterscotch notes, this Gouda has been aged for months to develop its rich, complex flavor profile. The texture is smooth yet slightly crumbly, melting beautifully on the palate.
- Origin: Netherlands
- Type: Semi-hard, aged
- Flavor: Sweet, caramel, butterscotch
Premium Blue Cheeses
Our selection of blue cheeses represents some of the finest examples from Europe. From creamy Gorgonzola to sharp Roquefort and robust Stilton, each blue cheese offers its own unique character.
The distinctive blue-green veining comes from Penicillium cultures, creating the complex, tangy flavors that blue cheese lovers crave. Whether you prefer mild and creamy or bold and sharp, we have the perfect blue for your palate.
- Origin: Various (Europe)
- Type: Blue-veined cheeses
- Flavor: Tangy, complex, bold
Leaf-Wrapped Treasures
One of our most unique offerings, these rare cheeses are traditionally wrapped in leaves during the aging process. This ancient technique not only protects the cheese but also imparts subtle botanical flavors and creates a stunning presentation.
The leaves – often chestnut, walnut, or grape – add earthy, tannic notes that complement the cheese's natural flavors. These are true artisan products, made in small batches by dedicated cheesemakers using time-honored methods.
- Origin: Various (Traditional)
- Type: Specialty aged cheeses
- Flavor: Earthy, botanical, complex
