But it was not until the sixteenth century when the cheese we know today as cheddar was so named. With such a long history, it's no surprise that cheddar is one of the world's favorite foods. So popular in fact, that almost every cheese-producing nation makes its own version. This assortment contains excellent examples from three continents: - Denhay Mature English Cheddar: Denhay Cheddar is carefully matured and monitored until it is 11 months old when it is sold as premium West Country Farmhouse Cheddar. (8 oz)
- Grafton Classic Reserve Cheddar: Grafton Classic Cheddar is an outstanding mature cheddar cheese selected for its pronounced flavor and smooth finish. This two year aged cheese is excellent when accompanied with dried fruits and nuts, crusty breads, and big wines. (8 oz)
- Great Ocean Road Cheddar: This sharp white cheddar hails from Australia, where it is made from pure milk taken from cows that graze on lush pastures swept by winds from the Southern Ocean. (8 oz)
- Red Leaf Cheddar: This entrant from North America has a firm texture and a sweet, honeyed flavor. Best enjoyed with ale and fruit, this cheddar is aged for over 12 months. (8 oz)

Happy customerJan 14, 2008
By K. M. Bryson
This arrived promptly in a refridgerated box. I enjoy cheese, but I'm not well versed in gourmet qualities. Happily, I find that I can readily distinguish these four cheeses in a taste sampling. They are all delicious, and the two European varieties are very sharp. By the time the express shipping is added to the order, each block of cheese has a fairly hefty price tag. However, I don't live in a rural area, so I'm pleased Amazon makes this and other specialty cheeses available.

If you like sharp cheddar, like fine wine, this is the bestFeb 28, 2008
By J. Greer
"PC Man"
A very high quality selection, with lots of flavor, deep residual secondary
flavors and aroma. It reminds me of a fine wine that's been aged and mellowed. For the price, this is a bargain.
All four cheeses are excellent choices for that special "flavor fest."

 Bait and Switch on the shipping!Jan 22, 2010
By R. DeVoe
Watch out people, the amount they claim they charge for shipping is almost 1/3 what they try to nail you for at the check out. I've already filed a complaint with Amazon about this as I didn't catch the bait and switch pricing lie until after I had placed my order. Lucky for me Amazon canceled the order.
Don't get cheated!

igourmet cheesy reviewSep 27, 2007
By Hairess
Cheddars of the world sampler is just as good as being in another country in person. Sampling the generous sized cheese's with a San Francisco sourdough and a glass of fabulous California wine, and never having to leave the comfort of my own home is the best. Go ahead and treat yourself to a pleasant worldly experience.
