At a cheese show in Italy last fall we met a group of Belgian cheesemongers promoting their country's farmhouse cheeses. It was fascinating to discover this hitherto untapped resource for excellent cheeses, and to see the how the country's melange of cultures is reflected in the breadth of its cheese varieties. A Formaggio contingent has just returned from a tasting mission to Belgium where they met the cheesemakers (and the goats and sheep!) and visited 5 fantastic breweries.

These new cheeses have arrived at the Formaggio stores, imported exclusively by us and in the U.S. for the first time ever- visit our Belgian cheese page on our Formaggio Kitchen website for more information, and ask at the cheese counter for a taste of any of the new cheeses!
