FOR THE CLASSIC
Brie: This is a variety of soft milk cheese named after the French region from where it originates. It has a slight gray tinge.u00a0Emmenthal or Swiss cheese: It’s a yellowish hued, medium-hard cheese, which originated from Emmental, Switzerland. Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan cheese: This is a hard, granular cheese, which is named after the producing areas in Italy near Parma, Reggio Emilia, Modena and Bologna. The cheese is made from raw cow’s milk and it is cooked, not pressed.

FOR THE ADVENTUROUS
Mango and Ginger White Stilton: White Stilton is a creamy and tangy cheese by itself but needs an addition of certain elements such as mango and ginger to complement its flavour. It is best consumed at breakfast or as dessert.u00a0Pepper Chèvre: This spicy cheese is basically pepper cheese topped with red and green peppercorns, while the sides are coated with ground pepper.u00a0Gorgonzola: It’s an Italian blue cheese made from unskimmed cow’s milk and tastes salty. It was originally made in Gorgonzola, Milan but other localities dispute the claim and today, it is made in the Piedmont and Lombardy too.

Pairings
