To every mother - Happy Mother’s Day.

We hope this weekend brings you a well-deserved pause. Our Mothers deserve the best, and Giordano European Cheeses Shop is here to provide a helping hand !

Enjoy our Mother’s Day sale this weekend and save big on many unique cheese brought in for this special occasion.
We’ve got everything you need for that special cheese plate to make her day special.

As a starter: Cremeux De Bourgogne

Ever want to turn breakfast in bed into an all day affair? A slab of this pillow triple creme is a de-motivating force to be reckoned
with. Just add fresh fruit, brioche toast, and mimosas for a hedonistic way to start the day. this one is pasteurized cow milk though it hails from Burgundy rather than the typical northwestern area of Normandy. The sweet, milky and mild interior is fluffy in its youth, but quickly unravels into silky creme fraiche texture under the work of the bloomy, white mold rind. By that point it's got just a hint of white mushroom aroma and adopts a more buttery rather than milky character.

Old Chatham Shepherding Hudson Valley Camembert

This isn't your typical Camembert. Blending pasteurized sheep's milk with cow's milk and cream, Old Chatham Shepherding Co's
Hudson Valley Camembert combines a dense, silky texture with mild notes of wet stone, butter and button mushrooms. Served
with Rustic taralli or crackers, it's the perfect companion to a glass of white Bordeaux.

Truffle Cheddar

This decadent truffle cheddar is sure to be the star of your holiday party. A buttery block of aged to perfection cheddar carefully studded with black Italian truffle to create a delectable rich cheese, with hint of sweet grass. Every bite Bursting with truffle flavor a perfect companion to a glass of champagne, so pop a bottle and
toast to this incredible seasonal treat.
