Cheeses

  • CHABICHOU

    CHABICHOU

    Region: Poitou-Charentes, France
    Producer: Various fermiers / AOC
    Milk Type: Goat

    Chalky, dense, firm

    Barnyard, lactic, citrus

    A small AOC goat's cheese cylinder from Poitou-Charentes. Geotrichum moulds create the characteristic wrinkle; long lactic fermentation builds the gentle tang. Dense and clean, it rewards time on the board.

  • REYPENAER XO

    REYPENAER XO

    Region: Woerden, Netherlands
    Producer: Wijngaard Kaas
    Milk Type: Cow

    Crumbly, crystalline, firm.

    Butterscotch, walnut, cognac.

    Three years in the Wijngaard family's century-old warehouse on the Old Rhine. Nature does the work here. Butterscotch depth, walnut complexity and pop rocks crystals that crunch and slowly dissolve.

  • MURRAY BRIDGE CHEDDAR, OSSAU-IRATY CULTURES

    MURRAY BRIDGE CHEDDAR, OSSAU-IRATY CULTURES

    Murray Bridge, South Australia | Pasteurised Cow's Milk | 32 Months

    This cheddar was aged for 32 months, but what makes it unusual is the decision made at the vat. The cheesemaker inoculated it with Ossau-Iraty cultures.

    Those Basque cultures contribute a sweetness and nuttiness more typical of sheep's milk cheese, sitting alongside the clean acidity and structure that good Australian cheddar builds naturally over time.

  • Mimolette

    Mimolette

    Lille, France | Cow's Milk

    The flavour is butterscotch, caramelised, nutty, with a savoury depth.

  • GRANITE

    Milk Type: Organic Cow

    Crumbly, dense, buttery

    Earthy, savoury, umami

    Ivan Larcher's clothbound Somerset-style cheddar from a single certified-organic Castlemaine farm. The mottled grey-brown rind looks exactly as the name suggests. Inside: deeply savoury, earthy and buttery with real length.

    Milk Type: Cow

    Supple, sticky, yielding.
