Délice de Bourgogne is a decadent triple-cream gourmet cheese and was the fruit of the imagination of the famous gastronome of the 18th century, Brillat Savarin. The remarkably pungent, somewhat moldy aroma of Délice de Bourgogne belies the velvet-smooth texture and subtle taste of this cheese. The cheese is similar in appearance and texture to the classic Brie. The outside is yellowish-white in color, with a soft, chalk-like dusty rind. The first layer is soft and smooth and stark white in color. The center of the Délice cheese is thicker and more consistent than the outside layer and is comparable to that of cream cheese. The blending of the stronger flavored exterior and the more subtle and soft interior makes Délice de Bourgogne an unusually delicate gourmet cheese; creating a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedges of 8 ounces and 1 pound.

We have a weekend "French" market in our community, a good selection of fresh vegetables at the local, meat without hormones, etc. There is a small shop, the Marquis has a number of local and imported cheeses a bench in the market has had – I tried the Le Delice de Bourgogne from Lincet first two or three years. I bought a piece of that cheese. I bought a piece of at least a couple of times every month od. I buy no other Brie, now only Delice. Has agreamy wonderful texture and flavor rich smooth, slightly nutty and extraordinary. I go to off-season in a local cheese shop for cheese itself. We could have 6-8 favorite cheese, but this is the list above.

Salads can be anything from a bed of simple greens to a more exotic and substantial affair. When the temperature rises, we like to cool off with an elaborate and healthy salad for dinner. It’s fun to create new blends combining various ingredients of contrasting and complementary colors, textures and tastes. With this in mind we have created a fabulous new assortment, containing five of our favorite salad cheeses, as well as five great recipes to liven up your lettuce!

• Atalanta Blue – This blue is assertive and crumbly, ideal for summer salads, dips and dressings.
• Bulgarian Feta – Everyone knows that feta is the national cheese of Greece, but it is the most important cheese in Bulgaria as well. It is sinfully good on Mediterranean salads.
• Grana Padano Stravecchio Oro del Tempo – The flavor of Stravecchio is intense and complex, with fruity overtones that evoke pineapple, and its texture begs for it to be carefully shaved over an elegant salad.
• Classic Chevre by Vermont Butter & Cheese Company – Vermont Chèvre has earned an honored place among chefs and consumers alike. Distinguished by a simple, mild, fresh goat’s milk flavor, the cheese is highly versatile, and simply fantastic in salads.

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.

• Made from pasteurized sheep’s milk

Mrs. Kirkham – the legendary Lancashire cheesemaker – rubs her beautiful, cloth-wrapped wheels of cow’s milk with her farmhouse butter, enriching the taste and protecting them from unwanted molds.
