Description
England is a land well suited to dairy farming. Its territory is relatively flat, thus good for grazing, and it has plenty of rainfall. This country produces over 500 distinct types of cheese, including the four we are featuring in this English Cheese Assortment.- Denhay Mature Cheddar - Arguably the world's most famous cheese name, Cheddar is an authentic English cheese that has been copied all over the world. If you have never tasted authentic English Farmhouse Cheddar, you are in for a wonderful surprise.
- Royal Blue Stilton - How could such an assortment not include England's beloved blue cheese? Creamy, tangy and eminently satisfying, our Royal Blue Stilton is perfect as a snacking cheese or as an ingredient.
- Sage Derby - Don't be afraid of the green! Pulverized sage leaves are mixed with water then added to the curd of Derby cheese to create this striking example of English cheesemaking ingenuity. Mild and herbaceous, Sage Derby is the ultimate party cheese.
- Cotswold - Also known as "Pub Cheese," Cotswold is the name given to this hearty cheese that combines Double Gloucester with flavorful bits of chive and onion. A harmonious blend of mellow, crumbly cheese and powerful vegetables, Cotswold is a terrific complement to the softer, more mild flavors on your cheese board.
Assortment includes four 1/2 pound cuts of cheese.- Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal value.

Great cheese- shipping was deceiving!!!
The cheese was great! When I placed my order it had a different price for shipping than what I ended up paying. The shipping was about the same price as the cheese!!! When I e-mailed a complaint, they completely brushed me off!!

Some mighty fine cheeses here!
Pull out these cheeses from the refrigerator after dinner to let them warm a bit. Get your new wine glasses, open a nice red, find some crackers, and either put out grapes or get an apple ready to slice. This is our dessert, or bed-time snack, whichever comes last.
I chose this pack because I like a variety of cheeses on the cheese plate. I absolutely adore Royal Stilton, whose flavors inform your taste buds you are in the company of bleu cheese but do it softly, gently, just a kiss of that flavor. I repeat: Oh, how I love Stilton! I love both its aroma and its flavor. Take a big swirl of that spicy red and you are heaven-bound right now!
I always thought the Germans, the French, the Swiss, the Swedes had the market on cheese until I met the English cheddars. The Farmhouse Cheddar is nothing like an orange cheddar. It's mild and smooth. Its opposite is Sage Derby--herbaceous and fresh. While one lulls you, the other jolts you, each in a pleasant way.
And last on our plate is the Lancashire, a dry, crumbly, old, old English cheese. You might need a spoon to gather up all this goodness because it will come apart upon being cut.
A wonderful pack of cheese! A great gift idea! However, I suggest you consider the explorer, the adventurer among your friends and family, as three of these cheeses are not your American Swiss cheese or cheddar and might not be a welcome gift. But for one who wants to experiment, what a welcome gift!

A Cheese-Loving Anglophile
This is a wonderful assortment of cheese, a great value for the quality and quantity that you receive. In a cheese sandwich, or on a cracker with some olives and wine, or mixed into scrambled eggs, this product will not disappoint! If only they delivered to the United Arab Emirates...
