Fiore Sardo wheel - sheep's milk hard cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Italy.
Sheep are very important to Sardinia, the island north of Sicily off the Italian coast. The landscape there is dotted with sheep everywhere you look. The sheep found on Sardinia are from ancient stock and live in the wild. Fiore Sardo is a straw-colored cheese with a brown rind. The Italian word Fiore means Flower. Thus this cheese is named the "Flower of Sardinia." A bit more forceful than Pecorino Toscano, a famous sheep's milk cheese from Tuscany, this Sardinian pecorino has a slightly salty flavor and a long finish. The Pecorino cheese is hard and grainy and has a wonderfully rich flavor, with caramel sweetness, salty tang and a hint of fruit.
Compliments: Can be enjoyed unadorned at...
-
Rustico - sheep's milk semi-soft cheese with black pepper, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Italy.
This savory Italian specialty is enhanced by the peppers rather than overwhelmed by it. The 30 day curing time in cellars results in a creamy texture with a mild, balanced flavor finishing with the reserved sting of the peperoncino pepper.
The milk used in producing this cheese is from small producers with no extra additives or hormones.
Served with crackers, it would also be a nice accompaniment to fruit such as grapes, berries or melons.

Mahon - pasteurized cow's milk semi-soft cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Spain.
Semi soft cheese of Menorca Island. The flavor is fruity and nutty and becomes more intense with age. Delicious as a snack, in sauces, salads, pasta and fruits.
Mahon cheese has a bold, magnificent flavor that could never be called mild. The yellowish-orange rind conceals a soft, slightly salty and decidedly spicy interior. This unique cheese is a must try for any cheese lover and an absolute necessity for the true connoisseur.
Compliments: Goes well grated over pasta or as an appetizer with olive oil.
Appropriate wines: Rioja Alta, Penedes, young Cabernet. You can also try with a beer.

Malvarosa - sheep’s milk semi-soft cheese - 4 lb/1.8 kg, Spain.
To save the nearly extinct Guirra sheep, Valencian cheesemaker Enrique began producing this Manchego-like wheel. Frankly, we think it blows Manchego away. The paste is firm, but far more buttery, and incredibly rich and sweet. More like the popular favorite Pyrenees Brebis, this one is compulsively edible, down to its nearly butterscotch finish. Aged for a minimum of three months; careful cheesemaking and gentle pasteurization preserve an enormous hit of succulent flavor. A beautiful Valencian cheese produced from Guirra sheep's milk, a revived, almost extinct breed of sheep. Shape is "servilleta" from being aged in cheesecloth. Butterscotchy and a slice of heaven.

Torta La Serena - Extramadura - sheep's milk semi soft cheese, cut cheese - 1 lb/454 gr, Spain.
A robust sheep's milk cheese produced in Extramadura, Spain. Its name is derived from the Spanish word for cake, "torta", which denotes the shape of this fine creamy cheese. Thistle is used in its manufacturing, infusing it with fresh herbal hints.
Aged for 60 days, it is soft, yet firm in texture, and has a slightly bitter taste that marries excellently with an earthy red wine, or Cabernet Sauvignon.
