Murcian cheesemakers invented this cheese in 1986 in an attempt to create a distinct regional cheese with big commercial potential. The cheesemakers took a traditional local goat cheese and bathed it in the local Doble Pasta red wine for 3 days. The result has been an unqualified success both commercially and gastronomically and has brought attention and capital to the region. Aged for roughly 75 days, this semisoft cheese has a sweet, smooth flavor.

The first Queso de Murcia al Vino DOP imported to the US, Drunken Goat® is made with the finest milk from the region. The rind is an attractive violet color.Murcian cheesemakers invented this cheese in 1986 in an attempt to create a distinct regional cheese with big commercial potential.

Veigadarte, similar to a French bûche is made by a small cheesemaker Mr Joaquin Villanueva Casado, from Ambasmestas in the Castilla-Leon region of Spain. This soft with high butterfat, mould ripened cheese is made using pasteurized cow's milk. Aged for about a month, this cheese has tanginess of goat's milk. The ash rind is enclosed with white bloomy mould. The outer part of the cheese becomes creamy and inner paste becomes firmer and smooth as the cheese ages. Pair this cheese with sparkling wine or almonds or fresh raspberries. The cheese is also made by adding different herbs like black pepper, red pepper, or green chillies.

Port Salut cheese, also called as Port du Salut, comes from Brittany in the Loire Valley, France. It is named after the abbey of Notre Dame du Port du Salut in Entrammes.
Made from pasteurised cow's milk, the cheese was produced by Trappist monks way back in during the 19th century. This semi-soft cheese is produced in form of disks weighing approximately 2 kg (5 lb). Though the cheese is produced in big factories now, the handmade version is still produced by various monasteries throughout the French countryside and enjoys a great demand!
Great snacking companions of this cheese are fruits, steamed asparagus or broccoli, baby greens salad drizzled with Balsamic vinegar and olive oil. It also a great addition to any cheese board!

Humboldt Fog is a goat’s milk cheese delivered by Cypress Grove Chevre, of Arcata, California, in Humboldt County. It is a mould-ripened cheese with a distinguishing layer of edible ash. The cheese ripens from the outside to the centre, resulting in a fresh goat cheese center surrounded by a pungent runny shell. This runny shell will widen as the cheese matures and is considered the best part of the cheese, by many. The bloomy mold and ash rind is edible, but is fairly tasteless. The cheese is creamy, light, powdery, slightly lemony and mildly goaty.
Humboldt Fog is available from a mini 1 lbs. cheese wheel (Humboldt Fog® Mini) up to the large 5 lbs. cheese wheel (Humboldt Fog® Grande).
 
The cheese has won the first place at the American Cheese Society in 1998, 2002 and 2005 and Gold at the 2014 World Cheese Awards.
