Different types of cheese have different price tags. The origin and the manner in which the cheese is produced both influence the price as well as other factors. When using cheese in cooking, you might not want to use the most expensive block on the market. Of course, if you want to send a fancy cheese and wine gift or if you want to serve your guests nothing but the best, you may want to spend a bit more than usual.
\nBeaufort D’ete fetches about $45 per pound and is made from raw cow’s milk. It’s perfect for a high class cheese fondue when you want your dipping ingredients to really stand out and taste even better than they do with regular cheese sauce.
\nGorau Glas can cost up to $40 for a pound and this cheese actually won a Gold British Cheese award back in 2002. It has a lovely soft texture and making this cheese is quite an involved process indeed.
\nRogue River Blue cheese can cost up to $50 per pound and it has a lovely smoke, creamy flavour. This cheese is aged in grape leaves that are soaked in pear brandy. It’s important to note that this cheese is seasonal and made only from raw summer’s milk which is a significant factor when it comes to determining the price.
\nExtra Old Bitto cheese will set you back about $150 per pound. Bitto cheese is usually aged for at least 10 years which makes it extremely rare and this ensures a higher price than your regular supermarket cheeses.
\nWyke Farms Cheddar cheese costs approximately $200 per pound and it’s the perfect companion for just about any beer or wine. By infusing this cheese with white truffles and gold leaf, the producers achieve a unique flavour that comes at a rather hefty price.
\nMoose Cheese retails for about $455 per pound and it’s not the kind of cheese that you’re likely to find just anywhere. In fact, The Elk House in Sweden is the only place in the world that makes this kind of cheese! As the name suggests, the cheese is made from domestic moose milk and, since they only produce a limited supply per year, the company can only produce about 600 pounds of cheese annually.
\nPule retails for just under $600 per pound and it’s made from donkey milk. The milk supply is not necessarily the issue. For every kilogram of cheese, the recipe requires 25 liters of milk! This makes for a rich cheese unlike any other.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
