This delicious little treasure is like a cross between a mild washed rind, and a smooth, earthy, creamy, delicate brie. Tear a piece off a crispy baguette and slap on a knife-full of this one- you won't be sorry, we promise!

Oh so many wines, but none of them the perfect match... We'll keep on drinking 'til we find the right one. What a tough job!

Fleur du Maquis, meaning "flower of the underbrush", due to the tangy, floral pearl of beauty that lies within the thicket of herbs, dried peppers and mold that is its homely rind.

Milky smooth sheep cheese with a subtle sharpness. Washed in olive oil and aged in olive leaves.

Dry and salty, this tratitional Greek grating cheese is an awesome addition to any pasta and/or seafood dish with a little browned butter.

Those of you who are fan's of the Basque cheeses will know all about this one, and boy is Ossau a beautiful example of what the Basque can do with cheese. Mild, sweet, sheep's milk flavor with and firm yet velvety mouth feel.

Aged in honey and hay, this pecorino (sheep's milk cheese) is nutty, with a delicate honey sweetness and overtones of grass. Pungent yet clean.

A traditional Italian aged sheep's milk with shaved black truffle, a little goes a long way. Perfect shaved on a dessert cheese plate with your favorite late-harvest wines or over a salad with roasted nuts and/or caramelized apple.

While brigante is not technically a "fresh" cheese in age, you can almost always count on it to yield the sweet, fresh, mild flavors and textures of some of your more supple fresh pecorinos. If you catch it early, you can expect a similar flavor to brinata, or another firmer sheep brie. As this cheese ripens however, it gets more firm, pungent and earthy.

This is yet another aged pecorino- but this one has whole black peppercorns, giving it a wholly savory pallet. The perfect contrast to fruit!

Aged in a woven wicker basket, this firm cheese has a subtle nuttiness with a fresh, bright, tangy finish. Great for slicing on a cheese board, great for grating on a salad or pasta. If you are new to pecorino, this is definitely a good place to start.

Welcome to a pepper-cheese that doesn't taste like rubber sprinkled with red pepper flakes. Clean but tangy flavor with a nice, mellow, warm spiciness. Great on sandwiches or just slice and eat with a nice refreshing beer.

As you might imagine, this cheese IS nutty. A soft, mild pecorino that is on the "fresh" side. Great addition to any cheese board when you want to have something different, but that will still appeal to pickier cheese eaters.

Translates to "the temptation of the monk". So you can guess how good it is based on the name! Luscious and Seductive, this cheese will have you tempted as well.

A pressed, dried and salted version of the classic. Perfect for grating or shaving in salads or over grilled vegetables as the slightly spongy texture takes quite well to olive oils and fine vinegars.
