Belgian Cheese ?

Long known and respected for its chocolates, Belgium is also a great cheese country. It is said that, despite its small size, Belgium produces as many distinct types of cheese as does France. Many of its 300+ varieties are made in very small quantities and are not exported out of the country. The examples we do get, however, are quite impressive. This unique assortment includes three of our favorites: * Chimay Trappiste with Beer: Made by the trappist monks of Scourmont, this semi-hard pressed cheese is washed in Chimay ale and matured for six weeks. Made from fine, fresh, creamy milk, it has a trademark creaminess and flavor. * Capra Honey Goat: This chevre comes from the mountainous Walloon speaking region in the south. The addition of a drop of sweet Belgian “liquid gold” gives the cheese a hint of sugar that is extremely pleasing to the palate. * Passendale: A semi-soft cow’s milk cheese, Passendale impressed us as a sure hit the first time we tasted it. We loved its delicious flavor and sweet bouquet and found it to have universal appeal. You will feel comfortable serving this cheese to anyone, as it will not offend those with basic tastes, yet will still wow the connoisseurs. This assortment contains two 1/2 lb wedges, and one 11 oz. log of Capra Honeyed Goat. *Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value
