Fromagerie du Dauphiné Tentation de Saint-Félicien — Rhône-Alpes, France | 6 oz.

Tentation de Saint-Félicien is one of France’s most indulgent soft cheeses — and one of the most irresistible things on our cheese counter. Produced in the Rhône-Alpes by Fromagerie du Dauphiné, the celebrated makers of Saint-Marcellin and Saint-Félicien, this ultra-creamy cow’s milk cheese was originally crafted to make use of surplus cream and has since become a gourmet staple in its own right. Lush, silky, and impossibly rich, it delivers the elegance of a premium French soft cheese in a perfectly portioned 6 oz. format. Best enjoyed at room temperature, when its texture becomes spoonable and its flavors fully bloom.

The rind is natural and bloomy, giving way to a cloud-soft, yielding interior. The aroma is fresh and milky with a gentle earthiness. On the palate, it is rich and luscious without being heavy — a delicate tang balanced by a long, buttery finish that lingers with quiet elegance. It melts on the tongue and leaves you wanting more.

• Producer: Fromagerie du Dauphiné, Rhône-Alpes, France
• Style: Ultra-creamy soft cheese — natural bloomy rind
• Milk: Cow’s milk
• Size: 6 oz.
• Best Served: At room temperature — spoonable and fully bloomed

An ultra-creamy Rhône-Alpes soft cheese at an honest price — Tentation de Saint-Félicien is the benchmark for what indulgent French cow’s milk cheese can be.

Jasper Hill Farm Harbison Mini — Vermont, USA

Vermont cheesemakers have better things to do than imitate Europe — they innovate upon it. Harbison is the proof. Jasper Hill Farm, the celebrated Greensboro, Vermont creamery that has redefined American artisan cheese, wraps this classic soft-ripened wheel in a band of spruce bark harvested from the woods surrounding their farm. At its heart, Harbison is rich with mushroom, roasted root vegetable, and forest floor flavors. But the spruce bark changes everything: it lends a gentle earthiness and a whisper of smoke to the finish, holds the cheese together as it ripens, and transforms it into something almost spoonable — a cheese that is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat. The 5 oz mini format is perfectly sized for one or two people and makes a stunning centerpiece on any board.

Let it come fully to room temperature, slice off the top rind, and go in with baguette shards, flatbreads, or crudité. The spruce bark keeps it contained and makes for a presentation straight from the box.

“A classic brie, full of mushroom-ey and roasted root vegetable flavors, wrapped in spruce bark — which yields a gently earthy, even smoky finish.” — Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67 Gourmet

One of America’s most celebrated artisan cheeses — Harbison Mini is the spruce-wrapped Vermont original that belongs on every board.

"Vermonters typically have better things to do with time than imitate European cheese traditions; instead, they innovate on them. Lazy Lady Thin Red Line is a great example — a Loire Valley-style ashen pyramid of creamy goat cheese (that's very French), bisected by a layer of smoked paprika (that's very Vermont). Pair it with your favorite summery white wine." — Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67Gourmet

One of the most visually striking and flavor-forward cheeses in the American artisan canon. The 'thin red line' of smoked paprika cuts through the center of this bloomy-rind pyramid, delivering a flavor that is equal parts fresh chèvre and chorizo — creamy, tangy, sweet and subtly smoky all at once.

Is it a cheddar or a Gruyere?  

The answer is both!  It's a cheddar highlighted by savor and sharp flavors, but this unique Vermonter is made with some Gruyere cheese culture which yields sweet, nutty overtones too.  It melts beautifully and pairs with your favorite red wines.

Rogue Creamery Smokey Blue — Central Point, Oregon, Priced Per Ounce

Smokey Blue is one of America’s most celebrated artisan cheeses — and one of the most original. Handcrafted at Rogue Creamery in Central Point, Oregon from rBGH-free cow’s milk, it begins as a classic Oregon blue before undergoing something extraordinary: 16 hours of cold-smoking over local hazelnut shells. The result is a cheese unlike any other — deeply savory, subtly sweet, and layered with a distinctive smoky finish that lingers long after the last bite. It has earned a World Cheese Award and a devoted following among chefs and cheese lovers across the country.

The paste is velvety and rich with bold blue veining throughout. On the palate, the characteristic tang and earthiness of blue cheese is beautifully tempered by the gentle sweetness of hazelnut smoke, creating a complex, harmonious flavor that is simultaneously bold and approachable. The finish is long, smoky, and deeply satisfying.

• Producer: Rogue Creamery, Central Point, Oregon, USA
• Milk: rBGH-free cow’s milk
• Style: Cold-Smoked Blue Cheese
• Smoking: 16 hours over Oregon hazelnut shells
• Awards: World Cheese Award winner
• Tasting Notes: Bold blue tang, hazelnut smoke, velvety paste, subtle sweetness, long smoky finish
• Pricing: Per ounce
• Best Paired With: Full-bodied reds, late-harvest whites, Port, honey, walnuts, dried figs, charcuterie

Bold, smoky, and utterly original — Rogue Creamery’s Smokey Blue is the American artisan cheese that belongs on every serious cheese board.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Piedmont's Alta Langa — the high Langhe, where the air is cool and the pastures are rich — Caseificio dell'Alta Langa has built a reputation as one of Italy's finest artisan cheesemakers. Their cheeses are rooted in the pastoral traditions of the region, crafted with milk from local farms and shaped by generations of expertise.

La Tur is their most beloved creation, and a perennial crowd favorite. Made from a blend of cow, sheep, and goat milk, it is a cheese of remarkable character: the interior is almost mousse-like in texture, yielding and airy, while the edges turn gooey and luscious as it ripens. The flavor is rich and buttery, with a gentle tang from the goat and sheep milk that keeps it from ever feeling heavy. Elegant, approachable, and deeply satisfying.

La Tur is exceptional on a cheese board alongside honeycomb, walnuts, and dried fruit, and pairs beautifully with sparkling wine, Moscato d'Asti, or a light Barbera. A cheese that earns its place at any table.

Cheese Details

• Mixed milk: cow, sheep & goat
• Producer: Caseificio dell'Alta Langa, Piedmont, Italy
• Texture: mousse-like interior, gooey edges when ripe
• Flavor: rich, buttery, with a gentle tang

Jasper Hill Farm Willoughby | Washed Rind | Vermont | 8 oz

Willoughby is one of the most approachable washed-rind cheeses made in America — and Jasper Hill Farm, tucked into Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, is one of the most important artisan creameries in the country. Named after the pristine lake nearby, Willoughby is made from the milk of Jasper Hill's own Ayrshire cows, washed with brine to develop its characteristic rosy rind and that signature, gently funky aroma.

Inside, the paste is fudgy, smooth, and almost molten near the rind — rich and buttery, with a complexity that belies its mild demeanor. The funk is real but restrained: pleasantly dank rather than aggressive, making it the ideal entry point for anyone curious about washed rinds.

"Fudgy, pleasantly dank, and smooth in texture, this complex Vermonter comes from Jasper Hill, the great Northeast Kingdom cheesemakers. Its slight funk makes it the perfect gateway cheese for novices new to washed rind aromas. Pair it with your favorite Chenin Blanc or Vouvray."
— Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger 67 Gourmet.

• Producer: Jasper Hill Farm, Greensboro, Vermont
• Style: Washed rind, soft-ripened
• Milk: Pasteurized cow's milk (Ayrshire)
• Size: 8 oz
• Best With: Chenin Blanc, Vouvray, dry cider, crusty bread, honey, charcuterie

Fulvi Pecorino Romano del Lazio DOP — Nepi, Lazio, Italy

Fulvi is the benchmark for what Pecorino Romano was always meant to be — and it is categorically different from the mass-produced versions most people know. Made from 100% whole, unpasteurized sheep’s milk collected from Sopravissana and Siciliana breed flocks in the Roman countryside, and produced in Nepi just 15 miles north of Rome, this is an ancient cheese with an unbroken lineage. Aged a minimum of 10 to 12 months and coated in traditional black wax, Fulvi carries the DOP designation that guarantees its Lazio origin and production standards. The key distinction: Fulvi uses whole milk, not skimmed — giving it a higher butterfat content, a less dry texture, and a less aggressive saltiness than Sardinian Pecorino Romano. The result is a cheese that is rich, complex, and deeply versatile: magnificent grated over pasta, and equally rewarding eaten as is.

The paste is ivory-white and semi-firm with a dense, slightly granular texture that yields to a long, savory finish. The aroma is sheepy and pastoral, with a warm nuttiness and a gentle tang. The flavor is full and rounded — bold enough to stand up to a rich ragù, refined enough to eat with honey and a glass of Frascati.

• Producer: Fulvi, Nepi, Lazio, Italy
• Certification: Pecorino Romano DOP
• Milk Type: Whole, unpasteurized sheep’s milk (Sopravissana & Siciliana breeds)
• Style: Semi-firm, black wax coated, aged
• Aging: Minimum 10–12 months
• Size: 7oz
• Tasting Notes: Ivory paste, sheepy aroma, warm nuttiness, gentle tang, full savory flavor, long finish
• Best Paired With: Pasta all’Amatriciana, Cacio e Pepe, grilled lamb, honey, crusty bread, Frascati, or a medium-bodied Italian red

Ancient craft, Lazio terroir, whole milk integrity — Fulvi’s Pecorino Romano DOP is the benchmark for what this storied Italian cheese can truly be.

Our Experts Review - Martin Johnson, 67 Gourmet

Few cheeses command the reverence of Époisses — and none do it quite like Fromagerie Berthaut's. Produced in the village of Époisses in Burgundy, France, this AOC-protected washed-rind cheese is one of the great treasures of the French dairy tradition, said to have been a favorite of Napoleon himself.

Beneath its burnished, brick-orange rind — washed repeatedly with Marc de Bourgogne, a local pomace brandy — lies a custard-soft, ivory interior of extraordinary richness. The aroma is famously pungent and barnyard-forward, but the flavor tells a different story: deeply savory, buttery, and complex, with a lingering finish that is at once earthy and sweet.

This is a cheese that demands to be the centerpiece of any board. Serve it at room temperature, spoon it directly from the rind, and let it speak for itself.

Perfect pairings: Spätlese Riesling, white Burgundy, Sauternes, or a robust Pinot Noir. On the board: crusty baguette, honeycomb, toasted walnuts, and dried apricots.

• AOC-protected washed-rind cheese from Burgundy, France
• Rind washed with Marc de Bourgogne (pomace brandy)
• Custard-soft interior | Rich, savory, and complex
• Made by Fromagerie Berthaut, the original Époisses producer
• 250g (8.8oz) | Serve at room temperature

Pasteurized milk, vinegar, enzymes, salt. Contains milk.

We are proud to be a family-owned company supported by the Southern New England community we belong to.  

Fromagerie Jean Perrin ‘Le Secret des Lys’ — France, 2.8 oz

From Fromagerie Jean Perrin in Franche-Comté, Le Secret des Lys is a luscious, cake-like French soft cheese nestled in a charming terracotta pot that doubles as a baking vessel. Its earthy, mushroom-scented bloomy rind gives way to a buttery, creamy interior with a delicate citrus tang — clean, balanced, and utterly moreish. The terracotta pot is not just packaging; it is part of the experience, designed to go straight from the refrigerator to the oven.

For the full effect, remove from packaging, warm gently in the oven, and serve directly from the pot with a crusty baguette. At room temperature it is equally compelling — spread onto bread with honeycomb or toasted walnuts, or paired with a white Burgundy, Champagne, or a light Pinot Noir. A showstopping finish to any meal, and one of the most distinctive small-format cheeses we carry.

🇫🇷 “A luscious, cake-like soft cheese — earthy, buttery, and utterly moreish.” — Fromagerie Jean Perrin

• Producer: Fromagerie Jean Perrin
• Region: Franche-Comté, France
• Milk Type: Cow’s milk
• Style: Soft, bloomy rind

• Best Served: At room temperature or oven-warmed in the pot

A pantry essential for anyone who takes their cheese seriously.

Jasper Hill Farm — Sherry Gray — Greensboro, Vermont

Sherry Gray is an emblem of Vermont cheesemaking ingenuity — and one of the most original American cheeses being made today. Jasper Hill took two disparate French traditions and fused them into something entirely their own: a double-cream Brie ripened in ash, where the Loire Valley meets the Brie de Meaux. The ash coating is not merely aesthetic; it tempers the surface pH of the fresh wheel and fosters the development of a thin, even bloom of flora that gives Sherry Gray its distinctive stony complexion and complex rind character. The extra cream and a relatively long culturing time create an almost whipped interior texture that coats the palate in buttery richness. 7oz wheel.

The paste is silky and yielding, with a texture that borders on mousse — rich, luscious, and deeply satisfying. The flavor is buttery and smooth up front, with earthy, mushroomy notes from the bloomy rind and a gentle, approachable finish that never overwhelms. It is the kind of cheese that disappears from the board before anything else does. Pair it with your favorite sparkling wine and let it do the rest.

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger, 67Gourmet — "Buttery, smooth and earthy, Sherry Gray is an emblem of Vermont cheesemaking ingenuity. It’s a double cream Brie, ripened in ash — the Loire Valley meets Brie. What results is a creamy cheese with an approachable finish."

• Producer: Jasper Hill Farm, Greensboro, Vermont, USA
• Milk: Pasteurized cow’s milk & cream
• Style: Double-cream bloomy rind, ashed
• Rind: Ashed bloomy rind
• Format: 7oz wheel
• Tasting Notes: Buttery, silky, mushroomy, earthy rind, whipped texture, approachable finish
• Allergens: Contains milk
• Best Paired With: Champagne, Crémant, Pet Nat, dry rosé, honeycomb, sliced pear, toasted baguette, marcona almonds

The Loire Valley meets Brie de Meaux — made in Vermont, and better for it.

P’tit Sainte Maure d’Antan — Fromagerie Poitou Chèvre, Deux-Sèvres, Poitou-Charentes, France

The Loire Valley is the spiritual home of French chèvre — and Poitou-Charentes, just to the south, is where the tradition runs deepest. Fromagerie Poitou Chèvre has been crafting goat cheeses in the Deux-Sèvres with the same meticulous care for generations, and the P’tit Sainte Maure d’Antan is their most emblematic expression. Shaped in the traditional cylindrical log form and hand-molded in individual molds, it is aged between 12 and 25 days — long enough to develop a natural rind and a white, creamy paste with a smooth, melting texture, but short enough to preserve the fresh, lactic brightness that makes great chèvre so irresistible. This is French goat cheese at its most classic and most honest.

When young, the flavour is delicate and slightly acidic — clean, fresh, and lactic at its core. As it refines toward the 25-day mark, richer, earthier notes emerge: a gentle nuttiness, a whisper of mushroom, and a beautifully balanced complexity that speaks directly of the Poitevin terroir. The texture is smooth and melting, with a natural rind that adds just enough rustic character to make every bite interesting.

Hand-molded • Aged 12–25 days • Natural rind • Fromagerie Poitou Chèvre, Deux-Sèvres, France.

• Producer: Fromagerie Poitou Chèvre, Deux-Sèvres, Poitou-Charentes, France

The most classic expression of Poitevin chèvre — P’tit Sainte Maure d’Antan is the benchmark for what French goat cheese can be.

Rodolphe Le Meunier Crémeux des Cîteaux — Burgundy, France | 7oz

Rodolphe Le Meunier is one of France’s most celebrated affineurs — a Meilleur Ouvrier de France whose name on a cheese is a guarantee of exceptional quality and care. The Crémeux des Cîteaux is his triple-crème masterpiece: a sumptuous, cloud-like fresh cheese made from pasteurized cow’s milk enriched with crème fraîche, inspired by the monastic cheesemaking traditions of the Cîteaux Abbey in Burgundy. Silky, light, and impossibly smooth, it is one of the most luxurious fresh cheeses in the world — and at 7oz, it is the perfect size for a dinner party or an indulgent evening at home.

The texture is pure silk: cloud-soft and yielding, with a clean, fresh milky aroma and the faintest hint of cultured cream. On the palate, it is rich and luscious without being heavy, with a delicate tang and a long, buttery finish. It melts on the tongue and leaves you wanting more.

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger, 67Gourmet — “If you look for a light, fresh cheese for the whole family — from toddlers to grandma — then Crémeux des Cîteaux is for you. Silky and light, simply very smooth cheese. Here you get the full taste of what a fresh artisanal cheese made from selected milk can give.”

A triple-crème from France’s greatest affineur — Crémeux des Cîteaux is the benchmark for what fresh cheese can be.

Firefly Farms Merry Goat Round — Accident, Maryland

The Merry Goat Round is Firefly Farms’ best-selling retail cheese — and it earns that distinction every time. Made in the Appalachian highlands of Garrett County, Maryland, Firefly Farms has been crafting award-winning artisan goat cheeses since 2002, drawing on the clean mountain air and pastoral landscape that define this corner of the mid-Atlantic. The Merry Goat Round is a soft-ripened chèvre with a bloomy, fully edible rind that develops beautifully at every stage of ripening. The texture is supple and impossibly creamy, the flavor is clean and bright, and the rind — as Firefly will tell you — is where the fullest, most complex flavor is concentrated. Chefs, caterers, and cheese lovers agree: this one deserves a giant round of applause.

The paste is snow-white and lush, with a fresh, clean goat’s milk character that is tangy without being sharp. As it ripens, the rind softens and the interior becomes increasingly supple and complex, developing earthy, mushroom-laced depth that contrasts beautifully with the bright, citrusy core. Bake it at 350°F until soft and smother it in honey — it transforms into something extraordinary.

Little secret: the fullest flavor is concentrated in the rind. Eat every bit of it. — Firefly Farms

• Producer: Firefly Farms, Accident, Garrett County, Maryland, USA
• Milk Type: Goat’s milk
• Style: Soft-ripened, bloomy rind chèvre
• Size: 6oz
• Tasting Notes: Snow-white paste, clean tangy goat’s milk, earthy bloomy rind, mushroom, bright citrus core, creamy finish

Appalachian craft, award-winning character — Firefly Farms’ Merry Goat Round is the benchmark for what American artisan goat cheese can be.

Ferme de La Tremblaye Camembert Fermier — Yvelines, France

Ferme de La Tremblaye is a working farm in the Yvelines department of Île-de-France, producing one of the most authentic Camemberts available outside of Normandy. This is a true fermier — a farmhouse Camembert made with raw or lightly pasteurized milk from the farm’s own herd, shaped by hand, and aged with the kind of care that industrial producers simply cannot replicate. The result is a Camembert of rare depth and character: dense, funky, and deeply savory, with none of the bland, rubbery texture of supermarket versions. Our French customers — a discerning crowd — call it the best Camembert on this side of the ocean. We’re not inclined to disagree.

The aroma is boldly fungal and earthy. On the palate, dense mushroom and forest floor notes give way to distinctive roasted root vegetable flavors and a robust, endive-like bitterness on the finish. Rich, complex, and unapologetically savory — this is Camembert for people who know what Camembert is supposed to taste like.

“Is this the best Camembert available on this side of the ocean? That’s what our legion of French customers say, and who are we to disagree? Dense fungal overtones are followed by distinctive reminiscences of roasted root vegetables and a robust, endive-like finish. Put another way, it’s savory cheese bliss.” — Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger | 67 Gourmet

• Producer: Ferme de La Tremblaye, Yvelines, Île-de-France, France
• Style: Farmhouse Camembert (fermier), soft-ripened
• Milk: Cow’s milk
• Size: 250g
• Flavors: Mushroom, forest floor, roasted root vegetables, endive, savory finish
• Serve With: Crusty baguette, cornichons, fig jam, toasted walnuts, apple slices

The finest farmhouse Camembert on this side of the Atlantic — dense, funky, and deeply savory from a working farm in the Yvelines.
