Moses Sleeper is a Brie-style cheese exclusively produced by Jasper Hill Farm, a creamery who not only makes cheeses but also offers cheese maturing caves for other Vermont based producers. It is named after Moses Sleeper, a Revolutionary War scout who was killed while defending Northeast Kingdom's Bayley Hazen Military Road. It has a classic bloomy rind with pink patches beneath which lies a gooey, milky core dotted with occasional eyes or holes. Flavours range from cauliflower, crème fraîche, and toasted nuts to hay and butter. A hint of white mushroom aroma and bright, clean finish brings together the flavour profile of the cheese. Moses Sleeper's mild, savoury flavours taste delicious with pickled carrots and a crusty baguette.

Do you remember what old school Roquefort tastes like? Of course you don't—it achieved AOC status 95 years ago and has been made in a highly regulated fashion ever since. But before that, Roquefort was often made with mixed milk. And that's what Mons has done with 1924 Blue, a wheel that's made with the milk of both cow and sheep and tastes the way Roquefort traditionally did. What is that taste, exactly? In texture, it's dense and smooth. In flavor, it's sweetened condensed milk and light minerality up front, with a bacony finish that carries a trace of cracked black pepper. This is blue cheese the way it used to be.

El Trigal Manchego is named for the Spanish region of La Mancha, also home of Don Quixote. The cheese is produced in the La Mancha region from pasteurised sheep's milk. It has a black gray or buff coloured rind with a crosshatch pattern, the paste colour is stark white when young, becomes yellowish as it ages. The fully aged cheese is usually smeared with olive oil and surface mould is removed. The cheese has holes throughout the paste with a mild, slightly briny, nutty flavour. It is sold at various stages of maturity: at the age of 13 weeks it is described as curado (cured) and, when over three months old it is referred to as viejo (aged). There is a peppery bite to cheeses that have reached a great age. It is best known of a series of sheep's cheeses and is similar to Zamorano, Cadiz, Calahora or Castelleno.

St Illtyd is a mature creamy cheddar with white wine, garlic and parsley from Abergavenny in Wales.

There's a whole lot of serious flavour going on here. St Illtyd is strong but soft and mellow with the distinct warmth of garlic and a zing of wine and herbs, all wrapped on black wax. Eat one mouthful and you just have to try another. And another. And then maybe one more.

Kerrygold Kilaree is creamy and has a fantastic nutty flavor that has a great bite. For some, this may not be sharp enough for a cheddar, but it has plenty of flavor to stand on its own in a grilled cheese.
