igourmet's Favorites - 4 Cheese Sampler (2 Pound) by igourmet.com

• Blue - From Italys famed Lombardy region comes superb Mountain Gorgonzola. It is mild yet tangy, creamy yet firm, with a pale interior laced with streaks of blue. Delicious served the Italian way (drizzled with honey), it is a real treat for connoisseurs.
• Nutty - Exta Aged Farmer Gouda is ripened for a full 18 months to develop its nutty, caramel-like flavor. It is always a crowd pleaser.
• Fruity - Our White Stilton with Lemon Zest is the best selling blended cheese in England, and is rapidly becoming one of our most requested products. Extra creamy, deliciously tangy, with an unmistakable burst of lemon, this is sure to be the surprise hit at social hour.
• Creamy - No holiday cheese assortment would be complete without authentic Camembert, produced exclusively in Normandy. With a slightly more robust flavor than its larger cousin Brie, this supple French classic is best enjoyed at room temperature.

Gorgonzola is a stronger cheese, usually used for salads - very tangy with a stronger after taste, something I think everyone can really enjoy in that matter. A classic is romaine lettuce, gorgonzola and apple slices.

In contrast, gouda is a milder creamy cheese, great for breads. If cheddar were a starting point, I would say gouda is more creamy. It tends to break and crumble less easily, and really stick to bread surfaces better.

Both will make you forget about the normal supermarket colby or cheddar. I recommend this sampler highly.
