Giveaway: $300 worth of Imported Cheeses from Sam’s Club!

Back in May, I traveled to Italy with Sam’s Club cheese buyers to help them select some new, imported cheeses for their clubs.  Well, now Sam’s Club expects to offer these newly selected, imported cheeses in more than 150 clubs late this fall.  The additional products will include both regular and special seasonal items to complement Sam’s Club domestic cheese offering, which includes sliced deli cheese as well as hard and soft cheeses.  So to celebrate their new offerings, I’m helping Sam’s give away a sample package of 21 of their new cheeses- imported varieties & a few domestic- about a $300 value!

These are the cheeses that will be sent to you if you win this giveaway:
Pleasant Ridge Reserve
Maytag Blue
Ilchester Blue Stilton
Ilchester Wensleydale with Autumn Fruits
Ilchester Lemon Stilton
Kerrygold Red Leicester
Kerrygold Blarney Castle
Kerrygold Salted Butter
Mario Batali Iberico
Kolios Greek Feta
Alpenhaus Raclette
Auricchio Stravecchio Provolone
Monti Trentini Asiago Vecchio
Vincent Gouda
Rembrandt Gouda
Da Vinci
Parrano
President Comte
President Goat Logs
Fromager D’Affinois
Applewood Smoked Cheddar Wedges

Sam’s is working hard to be the “go-to” place for quality cheeses.  Their cheese buyers actually traveled all over Europe and toured cheese factories on a mission to select the best new cheeses.  You’ll find many of these cheeses in Gourmet Cheese shops but they’re sold for astronomical prices there.  Sam’s Club is all about making these cheeses accessible to its members at affordable prices.

I was able to taste quite a few of these cheeses, most of which I’d never had before.

Both the Auricchio Stravecchio Provolone and the Monti Trentini Asiago Vecchio are cheeses that I had the opportunity to taste in the factories of Italy.  The Asiago is perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches, and the Provolone is a more mild version than any I’ve tasted before.  I’m crazy about both of them.

I loved the Kolios Greek Feta- it hardly compares to the already-crumbled kind of feta- I chopped it into chunks and made Greek Omelettes.  So good.

I also thought the Mario Batali Iberico (from Spain) was excellent.  It’s a nice choice for a cheese tray, and I shredded it for tacos too.

The Maytag Blue and the Ilchester Blue Stilton are both fabulous for crumbling into salads.

My absolute favorite was the Fromager D’Affinois.  I ADORED this cheese.  It’s a French double-cream, soft cheese- similar to Brie.  I served this at a party with crackers and raspberry jalapeno jam and it was to…die…for!  See how creamy it is?… oh, yummy.

    Ilchester Wensleydale with Autumn Fruits — anything with fruit and I’m there.
    Ilchester Lemon Stilton – I love lemon so this could be lovely.

    Applewood Smoked Cheddar Wedges – Smoked cheddar is a favorite of mine, so I know I’d love this.

    Goat logs – I make a really taste chocolate truffle made with goat cheese so this would go in that. :)

    A Boston Food Diary — September 9, 2010 @ 7:04 AM

    I have always loved Gouda- both of the ones listed look amazing! I think that those would be the most exciting- though it’s cheese- can you really pick one over another?

    It’s funny- we’re planning to throw an “End of Season” party in a few weeks-this amount of cheese would absolutely make it something to talk about!

  47. 47

    What a wonderful giveaway! I’m excited that Sam’s will be carrying these cheeses. I’d love to try the goudas and the Mario Batali cheese. This much cheese would absolutely call for a party!

  117. 117

    Margaret — September 9, 2010 @ 9:07 AM

    I would love to try the Mario Batali Iberico one.

    If I won, I would definitely have a big cheese tasting party because all of my family and friends are big cheese fans.

    Kristen M. — September 9, 2010 @ 9:30 AM

    I’m excited to try the Kerrygold cheeses to remind me of a trip to Ireland. Actually, I’m excited to try them all (If I can keep my husband, the self proclaimed cheese monster, from eating them first). There are many that are new to me. I would share the cheeses with my weekly community group, snack on them and incorporate them into main dishes.

    Mario Batali Iberico
    The Maytag Blue

    I would make macaroni and cheese and a cheese chicken rice casserole immediately.

    The cheese I would like to try is Rembrandt Gouda… I would love to try Gouda…I watch at lot of cooking shows and they always talk about other kinds of cheese.. I am always afraid to buy it not knowing how it taste…How would I use all the cheese..> I EAT CHEESE on everything including popcorn… I would make sure to have some of my friends over so we could all try the different types and I have a bunch of birthdays coming up in the next month so I could bring the cheese tray :) Thanks for the info I have been debating between Sams and Costco and this maybe a good deciding factor…

    LeAnn — September 9, 2010 @ 10:04 AM

    This sounds awesome! I’m very interested in trying the Auricchio Stravecchio Provolone & the Monti Trentini Asiago Vecchio. Provolone happens to be my favorite cheese, and I’ve never had the opportunity to try Asiago before, but hear it’s delicious. Also, I think that all these different cheeses would be a fantastic educational experience for my 10-year-old daughter. She loves cheese, and she also loves anything to do with cooking and baking. :)

    This is an awesome contest! I think that I would most like to try the Feta because my husband is Greek and I’m always experimenting with different varieties of feta to put into salads and other foods to remind him of his family since we live several hundreds of miles away. I also think that the cheddar wedges sound delicious! If I won this I would use it to cook, but I would also use it for when my husband and I have stay-at-home date nights in which we pop in a movie and experiment with wine and cheese combos.

    Thanks!

    Laura T. — September 9, 2010 @ 1:37 PM

    I would have to say I’d be most excited about the brie. I love baking brie over carmelized onions and thyme and then spreading it over crackers. If I won all of this cheese, my husband would just pass out with excitement. He regularly dreams about cheese. We’d eat it all and have people over for cheese tastings!

    oh my goodness! This is the best giveaway ever!!! I love all cheeses equally but if I would have to choose the blue, smoked cheddar and gouda caught my eye first. I first would like to try each cheese w/ crackers or bread and then I would find recipes that would highlight there deliciousness.

    Oooohhh! I know that A: I would have to have it shipped to work and B: I would have to open at least half of it for an impromptu cheese party. (unfortunately HR frowns upon making it a wine and cheese party)

    I agree that the Fromager D’Affinois looks yummy but I also really want to try the lemon Stilton. It sounds de-voom!

    MissJillian — September 9, 2010 @ 8:12 PM

    Ooooh, how I love cheese! Which is not all that surprising being that I am from WI after all. It’s kind of in my blood. Cheese…beer…and brats. I think the cheeses I am most excited to try are the Monti Trentini Asiago Vecchio, the Applewood Smoked Cheddar Wedges, the Rembrandt Gouda, and the Kerrygold Salted Butter. And after reading your provolone cheese factory tour, I would really like to make that cheesy baked penne. It looks really yummy.

I also love all things Irish so I am eager to try the Ilchester Wensleydale with Autumn Fruits, Ilchester Lemon Stilton, and Kerrygold Red Leicester since I cant find them anywhere

  375. 375

    Suzy Scott — September 10, 2010 @ 8:12 AM

    I love me some feta cheese, so that sounds awesome to be chunky rather than crumbled. I also love Wensleydale and mix it with figs myself now, so other autumn fruits would probably be just as wonderful. I would totally have a wine and cheese party with all my other cheese loving friends.

    I am such a foodie! I would love to win this to turn a few of my friends out…..they would absolutely love a wine and cheese party almost as much as I would love to give one. Would love to try the provolones and the Mario Batali Iberico….Spain is my next stop!

    I would use the maytag blue to stuff black dates and roasted walnuts for an appetizer. I would use the provlone on anything that is the best cheese.

    Oh yum! How timely! The lchester Wensleydale with Autumn Fruits and Ilchester Lemon Stilton sounds very interesting! A cheese platter is the first thing that comes to mind, but I guess I would have to taste them first!
