Anybody have any experience with this company? Their cheese prices seem too good to be true.

I have purchased a number of products through them and have been very satisfied. The cheeses have arrived in good condition. I use them periodically, especially when they have specials. In general though I prefer Artisanal for cheese.

I have bought a number of really good food items at igourmet.com and have been quite pleased! Their selection and service were both excellent and their prices are quite reasonable ... go for it and see if what you order is to your liking ... website for igourmet.com :wink:

I have purchased from them several times. They have English cheeses which I love and have difficulty finding.

In fact, I just received an email from them today with a special "Buy One, Get One Free" for Halloumi, the cheese from Cyprus, which is delicious.

I have to order some Cheshire because they were sold out when I got my December order.

They have a remarkable, very, very sharp cheddar (Cloth Wrapped Cheddar Truckle) which is out of stock right now. I have a sliver remaining from my last order, along with some Caerphilly, Lancashire, Wenslydale and Red Leicester.

And it was a bigger glass!" Terry Pratchett

I have enjoyed their bleu cheese made from buffalo milk. They also tend to have a nice selection of butters.

Oh yes, the Butter!!

I love the Le Gall from Brittany - expensive but worth the price to me for special applications.

My December 18 order included it and I managed to make it last through New Year's Day, but only with great difficulty.

In fact, I finished it with a piece of hot gingerbread fresh from the oven.
