I am usually not overly impressed with these samplers of specialty cheeses, but I do run a cross one now and again that simply stand out. This is one of them. I fully admit to being almost addicted to good cheddar so perhaps this is part of it. The quality of this cheese, even after being shipped all over the place and from heaven knows where, is absolutely excellent. My sweet friend Brenda sent me this one and it is going to take some hard work to figure out how to top her on this one. Secret for you: I plan to purchase one or two of these myself soon horde it away, and simply not share! I do recommend you give this sampler a try...you will be absolutely delighted.
