English Coastal Cheddar with Wasik’s Yankee Chutney - $39.95
A hearty and crumbly one pound piece of aged English Coastal Cheddar paired with Mom Wasik’s take on traditional English chutney. It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory for an easy lunch, game-time snack, cocktail party, or late night nibble.

Goudden Kaas Reserve Aged Gouda with Ginger Spread - $39.95
Our sweet and savory signature Aged Gouda has met it’s flavor match with subtly spicy Ginger Spread. Once you experience this flavor combination you may never think of Aged Gouda the same way again.
|
St. Agur and White Wine and Pear William Confit - $39.95
This is always one of our favorite pairings. A lighter and creamy blue is enhanced with a complex jam made of reduced white wine and Pear William. It is one of those combinations where the final outcome is greater than the sum of its parts.
|
Artisan Manchego and Quince Paste - $39.95
This is a classic Mediterranean delicacy. The best way to enjoy a wedge of our extremely popular Artisan Manchego is with an authentic Membrillo (quince paste). Serve with a chilled Cava to truly get all that Spain has to offer.
|
Piave Extra Vecchio with Sweet Olive Tapenade - $39.95
This past summer at the Fancy Food Show in New York Brian and I had our taste buds blown away with something truly unique. This original olive tapenade is sweetened with honey for a natural and subtle sweetness that certainly doesn’t overpower accompanying cheeses. We have matched this tapenade with Piave Vecchio from Italy, a Cheese Shop favorite.
|
Brie de Lyon with Wasik’s Nor’easter Pepper Jelly - $39.95
Carol Wasik developed her own version of a classic pepper jelly. Not too hot, not too sweet, this condiment pairs great with our buttery and decadent Brie de Lyon
|
Pecorino Gran Cru with Truffle Honey - $39.95
This is a classic Italian pairing that needs little explanation. We have chosen the best Pecorino from Sardinia and an exquisite honey laced with white truffles. It doesn’t get better than this combination.
|
Ossau Iraty with Sour Cherry Preserve - $39.95
One of Brian’s favorite pairings, the hearty flavor of a traditional sheep’s milk cheese from the Basque region of France is cut by the pleasant tang of the Sour Cherry Preserve. This unique combination has to be tried to fully appreciate.
