CHABICHOU
Region: Poitou-Charentes, France
Producer: Various fermiers / AOC
Milk Type: GoatChalky, 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.

Producer: Wijngaard Kaas
Milk Type: CowCrumbly, 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, 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
Lille, France | Cow's Milk
The flavour is butterscotch, caramelised, nutty, with a savoury depth.
-
