You may think the sheer gustatory pleasure of wolfing down ripe, juicy raspberries, whose flavor explodes in your mouth, is reason enough to grow them. Well, think again. Raspberries are not just another tasty berry; they are loaded with healthful attributes. They're high in fiber and contain vitamin A, folate, antioxidants, and numerous minerals; the juice contains vitamin C; and those sometimes-annoying little seeds contain vitamin E. And, of course, if you have a raspberry patch, you have endless dessert possibilities. The key elements to raspberry success are careful selection of plant type, a good solid trellising system, and husbandry techniques that match the needs of the plant. Once everything is in place, your raspberry patch will provide you with many years of satisfaction. We chose a classically red, everbearing variety called 'Summit', after asking our local agriculture office which raspberries are recommended for our area. We also taste-tested berries from local berry... See less

This goat cheese, 'La Chivita', comes from the very picturesque Picos de Europa area in the Asturias (Northern Spain) whose contours are defined by a limestone range over 20 miles long. The cheese is semi-soft with solid flavors. Let it sit room temperature for a bit before eating and have some crusty bread handy. While looking for more details on this cheese, I actually discovered Miguel & Valentino based in Bethesda, Maryland. They distribute gourmet foods from Spain including many cheeses that I still have to find and taste. The Hotel Posada Del Valle surrounded by its own organic farm looks like a nice place to stay if you visit this region. If you need help planning a trip to this region, ask the concierge.

Product Description: | Beyond the northern slopes of the Cantábrica range, lies the Principality of Asturias. It is regarded as an enduring bastion of basic values and traditions of Spain. The inaccessibility of this mountainous territory, wedged as it is between the ocean and the high mountains which separate it from the central meseta, has kept it unspoiled and with its traditions intact. This is also why it is Spain's richest cheese producing area today. Asturias is first amongst the Spanish regions in cow's milk production. Afuega'l Pitu is a very ancient cheese made in the valley formed by the rivers Nalon and Narcea. It is a fresh soft cheese made by lactic coagulation and molded or pressed by hand into a conical shape. It is made from pasteurized afternoon milk taken from Friesian, Ratina, Roxa or Carreñas cows. The taste is creamy, tending toward acidic, with a very natural, earthy aroma. It is white if recently made, but yellow, slightly moldy and granular if more cured. No... See less

Product Description: | Our eclectic array of vegetarian cheeses display different milks and textures to make the perfect assortment. Increasingly cheese makers are creating cheeses with vegetarian rennet. Rennet is essential for cheese making because it coagulates the milk, separating it into curds and whey. Vegetarian cheeses are made with rennets of non-animal origin. In the past, fig leaves, melon, wild thistle and safflower have all supplied plant rennets for cheese making. However, most widely available vegetarian cheeses are made using rennet produced by fermentation of the fungus Mucor miehei. Vegetarian cheese may also be made using a rennet from the bacteria Bacillus subtilis or Bacillus prodigiosum. * Butlers Blacksticks Blue: A new soft, blue-veined cheese from Lancashire, England. Made solely with pasteurized milk from the family's cows, the cheese is matured for eight weeks, during which it develops an amber hue and a smooth but tangy flavor. (1/2 lb.) * Sherwood Smoked...

Product Description: | Our northern neighbor, Canada, has a robust dairy industry with direct links to both English and French culture. Generally speaking, Canadian cheeses are of superb quality, thanks in part to strict government regulations, but also to a deep-rooted devotion to detail passed down from generation to generation. This dedication to quality shines through in the cheeses that comprise our trio, each described in detail below: * Oka - Made in Quebec, this washed-rind cheese has a French heritage and was brought to Canada by Benedictine monks. Now made commercially under license from the monastery, it is still aged for 2 months in the monastery's cellar, located right next door to the modern cheese plant. Distinctive and full-flavored. * Red Leaf Cheddar - All Canadian Cheddars must meet strict government guidelines before they can be labeled 'Canadian Cheddar'.

Product Description: | Switzerland 's history of cheese stretches back more than 800 years. Throughout the centuries, the Swiss art of cheese production has hardly changed, having been passed down from generation to generation.

Product Description: | We have put together a memorable selection of three fine sheep's milk cheeses. Or, for the linguists out there - ewe's milk cheeses. Whatever you call them, they are certainly delicious. The pure delight we derive from eating sheep's milk cheese comes from the fact that sheep's milk contains twice as much butterfat as cow's milk. It is the butterfat that gives a cheese its creamy goodness. Here are the selections in this assortment: * Pecorino ReNero - From Tuscany, ReNero comes to us in a five-pound wheel coated in dried grape skins. Although no grape flavor gets into the cheese, the skins trap the moisture during the three-month aging process, creating a supple yet tangy effect. * Agour Ossau-Iraty - Imported from the French Pyrenees, Agour is aged for a minimum of 6 months, giving it a quality and complexity rarely seen. A slightly dry texture gives way to a creamy, buttery quality in the mouth, and the flavors hint at both herbs and fruit, with slightly nutty... See less

Packed with energy, Norwegian hikers always pack along a block of Gjetost before venturing too far away from home. * Finlandia Swiss: Finland's best-selling, rich and characteristically nutty Swiss.

Here are some cheeses we enjoy with Sauvignon Blanc: Buche de Chevre: This wonderful goat's milk cheese from Poitou in the Loire Valley. Each Buche de Chevre is aged for two months, during which time it develops a hard, edible crust complete with a bloomy white mold coating. It is sharp and tangy near the rind and gets progressively richer and creamier toward the center. Pecorino Toscano: Pecorino Toscano is a young 100% sheep's milk cheese, only about 40 days old when it arrives on our shores. Because it is a young cheese it is somewhat discreet, almost shy. As the cheese first hits your tongue, you detect a hint of Tuscan herbs, grass and wildflowers.

Product Description: | Port is the world's greatest fortified wine, produced in the valley of the Duoro River, East of Oporto in Northern Portugal.
