At Nibbl, we've made it our mission to help Canadians explore the wonderful world of cheese. As such, we’ve developed helpful icons, designed to help you quickly understand specialty cheese by identifying the cheese type, flavour profile, origin and milk type!

 

CHEESE TYPE

BLUE

Distinctive blue or green veins of edible mold give this popular cheese its name and add a uniquely strong taste that could only come from blue cheese.

BRIE

Brie often forms the centrepiece of any well-considered cheeseboard with its gorgeously bloomy white rind, and smooth, creamy body that gets tastier as it nears room temperature.

CAMEMBERT

Camembert looks similar to Brie but has a unique flavour  reminiscent of nuts, butter and corn… a popular choice for the soft cheese lovers out there.

CHEDDAR

Cheddar is one of the world’s favourite cheeses for a reason - with its firm, smooth texture and a full range of flavour strengths (mild to vintage mature), it’s one of the most versatile cheeses around.

FETA

As far as Greek cheeses go, not many compare to the tangy taste and texture of Feta.

HALOUMI

The king of grilling cheeses, Haloumi originally hails from the warm Mediterranean shores of Cyprus, where it is pan-seared or grilled directly on the bbq to bring out its delicious flavour.

MOZZARELLA

Soft and buttery, this beautifully versatile cheese is popular for a reason! Equally delicious fresh out of the fridge or melted however you like it!

FRESH MOZZARELLA

Get your fingers into this beautifully soft, creamy fresh cheese that goes so well in so many Italian dishes. Tear with fingers for an authentic rustic look or simply slice and serve.

PARMESAN

Whether grated or shaved, Parmesan introduces a complex, fruity hazelnut taste that goes well in a myriad of dishes. Equally delicious on its own!

RICOTTA

Ricotta means “cooked twice” in Italian, and this versatile, delicate tasting soft cheese is wonderful, both hot or cold. Mild and creamy, try on toasted bread.

GOAT

The inimitable tang and zip of fresh Goat Cheese is often the perfect addition to many popular recipes. It adds a savoury, memorable tasting note that isn’t easily replicated with other types of cheese.

WASHED RIND

Generally aged for longer to develop their rich stronger taste, Washed Rind cheeses come in all shapes and sizes and add colour and aroma to any good cheeseboard.

SPREADABLE

The clue is in the name - Spreadable cheeses are sometimes whipped to achieve that creamy smooth, silky texture that is so easy to serve with nothing more than a butter knife or spoon. Yum.

 

FLAVOUR PROFILE

MILD

For newcomers to the world of cheese, Mild styles offer delicate, often subtle flavours and aromas that are easygoing on the palate and dominated by creamy notes.

MEDIUM

Most Medium cheeses offer a more pronounced and intense taste experience and broad appeal; rarely too strong or mild, cheeses in this category are very safe options for your next cheese tasting party.

STRONG

Cheeses considered Strong styles tend to be hard-pressed or blue-veined varieties and don’t mess around when it comes to big, memorable flavours; consider serving after dinner to keep those conversations going!
