Port is a fortified red or white wine made from grape varieties that grow specifically in Northern Portugal. Port wine is aged in cellars and the taste ranges from fruity and sweet to complex and dry; Port consists of a combination of grape varieties. Port is usually enjoyed before or after dinner and pairs best with blue cheese, and aged cow's milk cheese. Our Port Wine Cheese Board is made of two of each: Gorgonzola Dolce (8 oz.) - Gorgonzola dolce has a fragile rind which may have some powdery patches. The paste is white to pale yellow with greenish-blue veins. The texture is quite creamy. Traditional Mature Cheddar (8 oz.) - This handmade traditional matured cheddar is matured from 10-13 months and the result is a rinded cheese with a unique and complex flavor; a flavor that you need to try to be able to describe it. Piave Vecchio (8 oz.) - a dense texture and butterscotch aroma and flavor that resembles a young Parmigiano Regiano. Blue Stilton (8 oz.) - probably the best-known accompaniment to port wine. The aroma is sharply nutty and the flavor is full of mellow nuts and fruit. This assortment comes with a Small Presentation Knife with wooden handle: a small and handy version of the larger presentation knife; especially for a comprehensive cheese assortment and a package of French Mini Toast. Please note that we will substitute any item that is temporarily out of stock with a similar item of equal or greater value.
