Merlot is a red wine grape widely planted in Bordeaux and, to a lesser extent, in California and the Pacific Northwest. It is known for its soft, smooth, plummy finish. Here are some cheeses we enjoy with Merlot:
  • Beemster Classic Extra Aged Gouda: Our Gouda is produced by CONO Kaasmakers under the Beemster brand. CONO is located in Northern Holland; famous for its rich milk and fertile grazing lands. This edible cow's milk masterpiece has been matured for eighteen months, allowing its body to develop a muted caramel color, matched by a uniquely intense, yet sweet, flavor.
  • Monte Veronese: Skilled artisans hand craft Monte Veronese Latte Interno in Lessinia, the picturesque mountain area above Verona. Monte Veronese is a typical Italian table cheese produced only with full-cream cow's milk. Monte Veronese is aged approximately 60 days to create a sweet, yet delicate and pleasant, flavor.
  • Manchego: Spain's most famous cheese. Produced in La Mancha in Central Spain, true Manchego is made from 100% sheep's milk. The abundance of wild herbs on Central Spain's grazing lands gives Manchego a special taste and aroma. Its flavor is zesty and exuberant while its 3 month texture is firm but not dry.
  • Please note that any item temporarily out of stock will be substituted with a similar item of equal or greater value.
Merlot not included.
