Editorial Product Review:

Item Description:
This sampler features four cheeses that are typical of four distinct regions of Italy: Toma Piedmontese - Made in the Piedmont region of course, this cheese is surface ripened, meaning it ripens from the rind inward. Toma is a delectable mountain cheese that has a thin rind, a custard-like texture, small pores and a sweet lactic flavor with a gentle bite. Piave Vecchio - Similar to Asiago, Piave Vecchio (aged) is a firm, dry, slightly nutty cheese from the valleys of Northeastern Italy. Mountain Gorgonzola - Italy's famous blue cheese comes from Lombardy. Made from cow's milk taken from local herds that graze on beautiful rolling pastures, no Italian Cheese Assortment would be complete without a cut of authentic Gorgonzola. Pecorino Toscano - This soft, sheep's milk cheese is made in the hills of Tuscany. It is young, sweet and springy. We find that this combination well represents the wide variety of flavors and textures found in Italian cheeses.

Customer Rating: - What a treat
My husband and I ordered this sampler as a special treat, and now we are hooked! The cheese was incredible with our favorite wines, and made for a fun and beautiful late dinner (i.e. the kid was in bed) with warm olives a baguette and some prosciutto! We also ordered some asiago to go with it. DELICIOUS.

Customer Rating: - Go to the Store
I was on a buying spree and I picked this up, if you have a good gourmet grocery store nearby you would be better off just going there, I paid for shipping and I regret it.

Customer Rating: - Very good overall
I bought this item with a gift certificate. I used the cheese in a cheese tasting party with good friends. The cheese arrived quickly and in good shape. There was a substitution in my order which was fine since there was a disclaimer about substitutions if the exact cheese wasn't available. My only complaint was that there was no information about the cheese. For my tasting, I had to do all the leg work to get information so I could tell my guests what they were eating. Thank goodness for the internet! Nevertheless, I would buy this again. This was the perfect combination, I believe, for the cheese novices I had at the party, nothing too strong or stinky. Each had a distinct flavor and it was enjoyable to get everyone's reaction on the different cheeses.

Customer Rating: - Nice cheese
I was pretty wary to order cheese over the internet and to see how fresh it would arrive, but this stuff was great. A wonderful assortment of fine cheeses at a very nice price.
