Imagine yourself sitting at a table outside a white-washed <i>taverna with family and friends as you watch the sun setting over the Aegean Sea. You enjoy Manouri with fig spread, Feta drizzled with Extra Virgin olive oil, and Kefalotyri served with rich Greek olives and beans. The essence of good Greek cuisine is its simplicity. That is why igourmet's Greek cheeses are all made by artisans. The sheep and goats that yield the milk are from free-ranging herds, foraging from over two dozen grasses and wild herbs. You can really taste the difference! This collection of cheeses includes:

• Manouri: This is essentially a sheep's milk "cream cheese", made by adding sheep's milk cream to the whey from the feta production. Try some with Glazed Figs. It's fantastic!
• Authentic Barrel-Aged Feta: A perfect blend of sheep and goat's milk produces this rich, incomparable Feta.
• Kasseri: This delicious and traditional cheese is made from a careful blend of 75% sheep's and 25% goat's milk. It has a subtle flavor with a hint of olives on the finish.

This assortment contains three 1/2 pound cheeses.

Born centuries ago in Normandy, one of France's most fertile regions, authentic Camembert is still exclusively produced there. The Norman dairy farms, covered with delicious grass for cows to graze upon, are peppered with apple trees that protect the rich soil. In fact, some people claim to be able to taste a hint of apple beneath the creamy suppleness of fresh Camembert. A similar cheese to brie, Camembert is formed into smaller wheels and may have a slightly more robust flavor than its larger cousin. Firm when chilled or runny at room temperature, there are many ways to enjoy this wonderful cheese-- with bread, fruit, or nuts. Best when eaten at room temperature.

Our Barrel-aged Feta is produced from December through April from a blend of all-natural milk from free-range sheep and goats, whose milk is richer than cow's milk in calcium, vitamin B and proteins. Curd is molded in large round forms, which are hand-turned frequently as they drain. As the whey drains, the cheese-crafter adjusts timing to perfect each form's texture. After skillful dry-salting, wheels are placed in birch barrels for aging and preservation. There they sit in a 7% brine solution that originally allowed farmers to preserve their milk in the hot Mediterranean climate. Today that brine gives feta its characteristic tang.<p>By the end of the four-month maturation, a wonderfully creamy, rich, complex flavor is fully developed. The care that goes into this feta is evident by its incredible characteristics. Its traditional method of production contributes to its full taste, natural aroma and pure white color, properties which have established Feta over the centuries as a unique natural cheese of Greece.

Feta is a fresh cheese whose curd is preserved in a salt brine, which gives it a characteristic flavor and a specific texture. Originally created in Romania, Feta is now best known as a Greek cheese. However, this staple is made all around the circumference of the Mediterranean, including in southern France. Valbreso Feta is made from sheep's milk that is left over from the production of Roquefort, the famous French blue cheese. While typically eaten as a table cheese around the Mediterranean, in the USA it is most often added to mixed salads, and best appreciated in the summer.
