"There's nothing better than a finely-made, artisanal cheese. Stacked onto an irresistibly vibrant grazing board, it's one of life's little luxuries - and, more importantly, a little luxury that doesn't have to break the bank. Not all fancy cheese comes with a fancy price tag. You can find everything you need at a store like Costco, for a fraction of the price and in bulk sizes large enough to turn every night into a wine and cheese night. More cheese for your buck? Yes, please."
"The membership club is oozing with a wide variety of cheesy picks just under the Kirkland Signature umbrella alone. And I'm not talking about everyday shredded blends for pizza or individual slices for sandwiches. I'm talking about aged Manchegos, Pecorino Romanos straight from Italy, and imported French bries. It's a global cheese odyssey plopped right in the heart of Costco's refrigerator section."
"Recently, I embarked on this world tour to pick up 10 different gourmet-style Kirkland Signature cheeses. After leaving the warehouse with what seemed like a lifetime supply of the good stuff, I got to tasting. Pairing each one with a simple cracker, I ranked each selection by origin, age, bouquet, texture, and flavor profile. I know what you're thinking, "Is that it?" But it takes a lot to make a great cheese,"
Costco's Kirkland Signature lineup includes a broad range of artisanal cheeses, from fresh mozzarella to aged Manchego, Pecorino Romano, and imported French brie. Many selections are sold in bulk at lower per-unit prices, enabling frequent indulgence without high cost. Ten gourmet-style Kirkland cheeses were purchased and tasted. Each cheese was paired with a simple cracker and evaluated by origin, age, bouquet, texture, and flavor profile. The tasting assessed quality, value, and suitability for grazing boards. Several Kirkland cheeses matched global artisan standards while offering significant savings compared with specialty shops.
