Review of Australian Classic Gift Basket (4.5 pound) by igourmet.com

This really serves up the true favorites of Australian gourmets. Any of the King Island cheeses (King Island is off Tasmania) are superb, world class cheeses. Maggie Beer products are many and not a one disappoints. Be sure and try the Burnt Fig jam on a nice hard cheese (perfect on manchego or similar). It might surprise you that Australia is fast becoming a big producer of olive oil. This is a great gift for the Aussie living abroad and those that are interested.

Product Description
Finally, a basket of gourmet treats from the land down under!This homage to upside-down living contains scrumptious Australian cheeses, panforte, oil, vinegar, and biscuits.
  • Roaring 40's Blue has become one of our best-selling blue cheeses, with its creamy texture and sharp, yet buttery flavor. (8 oz.)
  • Murray Bridge Australian Cheddar This sharp white cheddar hails from Australia, where it joins Stokes Point and Mainland Cheddar as a new favorite from down under. (8 oz.)
  • Stokes Point Smoked Cheddar is a 9 month old cheddar smoked over Tasmanian hard wood. (8 oz.)
  • Cobram Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a single estate- grown and pressed extra virgin olive oil from the Upper Murray River. (12.6 fl. oz.)

  • Australian Water Wheels are light-as-air crisps from Victoria, Australia. (3.5 oz.)
  • Australian Waterthins Cheese Twists Waterthins cheese twists are the perfect snack. The many layers consist of a speciality dough and the finest of cheeses, parmesan. (3.9 oz.)
  • Australian Chocolate Panforte Chocolate and nuts add a luxurious, cocoa-y body to the cheese. The fruit adds a slightly tart and a citrus high note which is slightly softened by the fruits sugar glaze. (4.2 oz.)
