We can't help it; it's a knee-jerk reaction. As excellent as are the hundreds of cheeses that originate from all corners of the globe, France is always the first country the comes to mind when discussing cheesemaking.Our French Cheese Assortment captures a good bit of French cheese culture with the four cheeses listed below. - Chevre by Couturier: This classic French goat cheese is quite fresh and spreadable. Formed in the shape of a log, enjoy this cheese on salads, as a snack, or with fruit for dessert. (4 oz)
- Camembert: This famous soft-ripened cheese from Normandie has a creamy interior beneath a fluffy (and edible) white rind. (8 oz)
- Abbaye de Belloc: We're happy to bring you this cheese from the Pays Basque region of Aquitaine (French Pyrenees). Its milk comes from red-nosed Manech ewes raised on farms adjacent to the Abbaye de Notre Dame de Belloc. (8 oz)
- Gruyère de Comté: Created by local villagers in alpine dairies called "Fruiteries", its milk comes only from Montbeliarde and Tachete de L'est cows. Each 70+ pound wheel of Comté is aged for at least six months, resulting in a sweet and nutty masterpiece. (8 oz)
- igourmet.com Signature Cheese Serving Knife: Specifically crafted for us at igourmet.com, this multi-function cheese knife is the perfect tool to easily slice uniform servings of your favorite cheeses.

Great Gift for Cheese LoversJul 22, 2011
By David P. Craig
"Life Coach 4 God"
I sent this assortment of cheeses to my parents (who love french cheeses) and hoped for the best. Here was there response in an email: "Thank you so much for the wonderful gift...we enjoyed all the cheeses and goodies that went with the cheeses...the package was very elegant too." Because they live so far away. we didn't get to try the cheeses, but they said that they were all excellent and of the highest quality. I will definitely order from this company again.
Delicious chease and great quality gift boxApr 21, 2012
By Albis I bought this for my dad's birthday, he loved each of the cheeses and he also told me he was impressed with the whole package. This is definitely a great gift for all cheese lovers :)
Some was sheer heaven!Feb 04, 2012
By crunchytea The Abbey de Belloc was heavenly! I'd want this for my last meal! It was THAT good! I'm not a Camembert fan, but I did enjoy that too. The goat cheese was nothing I couldn't buy in the supermarket, so I was a little disappointed in the chevre. Personally, I wish they'd have kept the little knife and the petits toasts and added a little more cheese. The only gripe I have is that the pouch that's supposed to keep things cold leaked and ruined my tabletop!! So throw that out as soon as you get it!

not greenSep 14, 2011
By gh The cheese is great - the packaging is out of date. The problem is the cheese ships in styrofoam, which is a petroleum based product that cannot be recycled and is a major source of ocean debris. Thus, this product, although delicious, is non-sustainable because of its packaging. For those who care about the environment, look to other sources for cheese. I will.
