Aspen Food & Wine Classic

This past weekend we had the pleasure of exhibiting at the Aspen Food and Wine Classic. Attended by Bobby Flay, Jacques Pepin, Masaharu Morimoto, and many more food celebrities, this event attracts the world’s most accomplished wine makers, chefs and culinary experts to its idyllic setting atop the Rockies. The Classic is truly heaven on earth for its 7,000-plus attendees. During the seminar portion of the event, esteemed author and renowned cheese expert Laura Werlin spoke about two igourmet.com cheeses: Abbaye de Belloc and Delice d’Argental. Abbaye de Belloc, a sheep’s milk cheese from the Pyrenees, offers hints of citrus and caramelized sugar, whereas Delice d’Argental, a French triple crème, has a tanginess that nicely cuts its buttery decadence.

Padma Lakshmi, host of Bravo’s Top Chef, stopped by the igourmet.com pavilion to sample Dorothea, a unique Dutch Goat Gouda flavored with basil oil and potato skins. Michelle Bernstein, of Top Chef and Iron Chef fame, raved about our English Cheddar with Carmelized Onions, a great melting cheese that takes cheeseburgers to a whole new level.

The honor of Top Cheese at Aspen went to our Boschetto al Tartufo, which garnered universal “wows” from just about all of the attendees and wooed many back for seconds and even thirds!
