I received the four cheeses and was somewhat dissapointed because although I enjoyed 3 of the cheeses, only 2 of those 3 were meant to be served as a cheese platter (vs for cooking on the 3rd). The fourth was horrendous and I ended up throwing it away (4 other guests of mine tasted it and agreed that it was not good - we could all tell that it was not spoiled and that it was simply not a good choice for an assortment). I also agree that the assortment should have come with more information about the cheeses themselves along the lines of: You have selected this assortment, cheese names, background, taste descriptions, and serving suggestions (food and wine pairings both). All in all, one of the four cheeses was good enough to add to a watch out list so that I can hope to find it again while shopping at a local store.

The French cheese assortment is amazing. A selection of cheeses of a quality you cannot easily come by unless you have a great specialty gourmet store nearby. The Saint Andre is not my favorite type of cheese, but it is good on a nice loaf of crusty bread. The other cheeses in the selection are outstanding and I have received rave reviews from everyone I have served them to. Only negative is that they came extremely hot (even though they were in a cooler-type box with an ice pack that I assume had at one time been cold) and the softer cheeses were really melted. They still tasted great, but weren't as nice for presentation.

The service from iGourmet is impeccable

Everything arrived in perfect condition i.e. ripe (and therefore "stinky" just like it should be!!)

The Styrofoam packaging was the perfect vessel for delivery; the cheese arrived "alive" from not being over chilled.

I have not had cheese of this quality outside France, and this is the first time I have found "perfect" cheese in the US.

If you like top quality "stinky" cheese this is for you.........

A friend sent me this as a gift and it was wonderful! I loved those cheese, I just wished there were more! They are delicious with wine, crackers, good bread, as snacks, for lunch, with friends, or just whenever! I had to force myself to eat it a little at a time to make it last longer although my fridge did stink for a few weeks! But I loved it :) Of course, it's definitely not for those cheddar lovers or people who like colorless and tasteless "cheeses"!

The actual cheese is GREAT, if you can get them to ship to you. Ordered items as gifts - took over a week to ship. For timely gifts you would be better off going around the corner. Otherwise a great deal.

As much as my family and I love cheese from Italy and Spain, we love French cheese more. France is a country that produces more than 100 cheeses, so it must have been difficult to choose only four for this assortment, but in my opinion, four of the very best were chosen.

We are all watching our weight at my house, so we eat a lot of salads. While cheese is definitely not a "diet food," a little in a salad goes a long way, especially when you're using Buche Chevre. My children love it on crackers as well.

My wife and I reserved the chaource and the epoisses for a "wine and cheese" party, but believe me, they are so wonderful and so special, you'll be tempted to eat them anytime, party or not.

The Gruyère de Comté is just so special I can't really find words to describe it. It's rich. It's creamy. It's delectable. We often eat it as a dessert cheese. Yes, it's really that good!

If you're looking for a special gift, you can't go wrong with this French Cheese Assortment. These are four of the finest cheese France has ever produced.

For one thing, the packaging is totally unsuitable for gift giving. You get plastic wrapped cheeses in a styrofoam cooler box. We had to go out and buy baskets to make a suitable gift.

The French assortment STINKS!!! By the time we got to my mother's house the whole car smelled like dirty feet. It would have been nice if some information were provided that gives you an idea of what each cheese is like, e.g. strong or mild, stinky or not stinky, firm or soft. Maybe some information about the cheese's origin and a few serving suggestions. You get nothing but the cheese. Since iGourmet seems to pride itself on the fact that "you never heard of most of them" you would think they would provide some more detail.

What I thought would be a fantastic gift for a cheese lover and Francophile turned out to be a big flop.
