Fromager Des Clarines
Made by Jean Perrin (of L' Edel de Cleron fame) from France's famous Comte' Region. LaClarines is made from Mountain milk, yielding a smooth, very creamy cheese that is a must to serve as close to room temperature as possible, to release it's fresh white truffle butter flavors. La Clarines comes boxed like the "Cleron" but is not wrapped in the spruce bark and is less pungent and more appealing to the American palette. Serve it right inside the box, lifting off the edible top rind with a spoon. Scoop out this "staff favorite" cheese with a crisp bread stick or onto your favorite water cracker or baguette. An absolute must have for your holiday cheese table.

Explorateur
Named in honor of the first U.S. satellite - Explorer during the 50's. It was during this decade that the "triple creme'" was born by adding cream to the curds of soft-ripened cheese until it contains 75% or more butter fat. Look for a fresh bright fluffy white rind on the top (young) to a slightly mottled (browning) rind (med-aged) which flavors and texture move from more solid and butter flavored (young) to a very creamy mushroom infused flavor.

St Andre
St Andre is another triple creme, similar to the Explorateur, that melts in your mouth with a smooth, buttery aftertaste that is a delight. This cheese is served simply on a baguette. Petit Isigny Camembert
Shipped overnight from France this true Normandy Camembert has a thin snowy rind with small orange and red flecks.This is one of the few Camembert's imported to the U.S that is close to it's European counterpart. This cheese is plump and creamy with full mushroom flavors at it's peak.

Roule with Garlic & Herbs
A spiral of herbs inside a small herb crusted log, (similar to a jelly roll). As smooth as ice cream and slightly spicy, it slices easily onto portions of smoked salmon, baguettes, toast points or crudities. A perfect centerpiece of any cheese board.
