NEW CHEESE
More fantastic new arrivals came in this week! Stop in for a taste

Blue Castello - Denmark $21.00 / LB - Blue Castello is a triple-cream, blue-veined gourmet cheese with a washed-rind. The surface has a unique combination of blue-green and reddish molds. Delectably rich and buttery taste accented by its mild spicy blue veins and the aroma is of mushrooms. The mild flavor develops steadily but never becomes too strong.

Cabecou Feuille D’Armagnac - France $7.50 / Each - A small disc of fresh goat cheese from the Perigord region of France dipped in Armagnac brandy and sprinkled with coarse black pepper before being wrapped in two chestnut leaves to mature. Smooth and creamy with a tangy bite.

Chaource Lincet - France $15.00 / Each - We've had this delicious, decadent soft cheese in before - and it is back, better than ever! Named after the small town in France where it has been made since the early 14th century. While this cow's milk cheese is reminiscent of some of the most decadent triple crèmes, it is in fact only a double crème! The taste of Chaource has hints of mushrooms and a creamy, smooth finish.

Chimay a la Biere - Belgium $25.00 / LB - The Chimay Grand Cru was wildly popular, and we received another wheel this week - along with the "a la Biere" which mean... with beer!Authentic Trappist cheese with a beer flavoured rind. Washed with Chimay Trappist Beer during the 4-week maturation. Smooth paste with a tangy, pungent finish - yum yum yum!

Monte Enebro - Spain $31.50 / LB - Handmade in Avila, Spain this complex goat cheese is made from pasteurized milk and the same mold used to make Roquefort, adding to the complexity and distinctive appearance. Creamy, lemony and slightly acidic when young, as it ages, the texture becomes denser and the flavor acquires more intense, pungent finish.

Pierre Robert - France $31.00 / LB - Decadent triple-crème-style cheese from Seine-et-Marne, France. Cave aged enabling the soft cheese to develop its flavour and become even more meltingly rich in texture. Pierre-Robert appeals to anyone craving pure and utter decadence. Buttery, smooth, and mild, this cheese ought to be eaten spread on bread or even graham crackers.

NEW - NOT - CHEESE

Fig & Almond Cake - Spain $7.50 / Each - Made with the most selected figs, almonds, honey and wild growing spices of Extremadura. Traditional energy bar of Spain, characteristic of the Mediterranean diet. Handcraft made without additives or preservatives following a 200 years old family recipe.
