Cambozola is a triple cream, brie-style blue cheese made from pasteurised cow’s milk in the German region of Allgäu. The cheese invented in 1900s, is still made in Germany by Kaserei Champignon since 1970s.

In English speaking countries, it is often symbolized as blue brie.
The cheese is injected with same blue Penicillium roqueforti mold used to make Gorgonzola, Roquefort, and Stilton. However, it is neither pungent like Stilton, nor crumbly like Roquefort.

The cheese, a cross between Camembert and Gorgonzola, is creamy, moist and rich like a Camembert with the sharpness of Gorgonzola. A soft-ripened cheese, the insides reveal pockets of blue veining and a unique exterior of grey mold.

Its savory, nutty flavour with undertones of sweetness enhance the wonderful characteristics of the cheese. For a food connoisseur, the Cambozola is a great start into the world of Blue Cheeses. Taste it with fruits, honey or a Chardonnay.

Piave is an Italian cow's milk cheese named after a river by the same name. It is DOP protected and the only authentic Piave is produced in the Dolomites area of Belluno province of Veneto. Also called, Parmesan's Cousin due to apparent similarities in flavour, Piave is a hard, cooked curd cheese sold at five different maturation periods. As a thumb's rule, Piave is dense in texture without any open holes. The colour of the pate is white in fresco, which becomes straw coloured as the cheese matures. A sweet tasting cheese intensifies with aging. The rind is soft and clear when fresh becoming hard and brownish colour in advanced ages. The holes are also absent in aged Piave. Depending on the type, texture and flavour of the Piave, the cheese goes well as a grating as well as a table cheese. Its mild, sweet and delicate taste can be paired with Zinfandel or full-bodied red wine like Barolo and Amarone.

Cahill's Whiskey Cheese is produced by Cahill's farm in Limerick, Ireland. Records of making cheese go back to 1902 when David Cahill started the business. It is made using pasteurised sheep's and cow's milk mixed with Kilbeggan Irish Whiskey sourced from the Cooley distillery in Co. Louth. After the curd is formed and whey is drained off, the whiskey is added which gives the cheese a mottled, golden hue. Actually, it is a simple vintage cheddar cheese but with a blend of Kilbeggan whiskey.This yellow waxed gourmet cheese is matured for a minimum of nine months. Beneath the waxed rind, one can clearly distinguish between curd and whiskey. The taste of the cheese is smooth and rich without the whiskey overwhelming the milky flavours.

Cabricharme is not your typical goat cheese, the washed rind adds a fermented sweetness that hides the "goaty" flavor and gives it a complex yet clean finish.

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.

Brie is the best known French cheese and has a nickname "The Queen of Cheeses". Brie is a soft cheese named after the French region Brie, where it was originally created. Several hundred years ago, Brie was one of the tributes which had to be paid to the French kings.
In France, Brie is very different from the cheese exported to the United States. "Real" French Brie is unstabilized and the flavour is complex when the surface turns slightly brown. When the cheese is still pure-white, it is not matured. If the cheese is cut before the maturing process, it will never develop properly. Exported Brie, however, is stabilized and never matures. Stabilized Brie has a much longer shelf life and is not susceptible to bacteriological infections.

Brie is produced from the whole or semi-skimmed cow's milk. Rennet is added in to raw milk and heated to a temperature of 37°C to obtain the curd.  The cheese is then cast into molds, several layers of cheese are filled into mold and then kept for around 18 hours. After this the cheese is salted and aged for minimum four weeks.
Brie cheese is slightly pale in colour with a greyish tinge under a rind. Its flavour varies depending upon the ingredients added while producing the cheese.
Brie, one of the great dessert cheeses, comes as either a 1 or 2 kilogram wheel and is packed in a wooden box. In order to enjoy the taste fully, Brie must be served at room temperature.
