The Cheesemongers Choice - 5 Cheese Pack

A$160.00

More cheese. More contrast. No compromises.

Five cheeses, handpicked by the mongers at Cornelius. This box is built for those who want the full arc—soft, blue, washed, aged, and wild cards that play off each other with precision and purpose. The lineup changes weekly, based on ripeness and flavour. No filler. No repeats. Just what's singing in the cave right now.

Includes:

  • Minimum 750g of ready-to-eat cheese

  • A fruit paste or compote matched for balance

  • Crackers—choose traditional or gluten-free

You might get a raw milk tomme with alpine snap, a pudgy washed rind with meaty swagger, a goat's cheese that hums with acidity, a bold Gorgonzola dolce, or a sheep’s milk wheel with walnut depth. It’s about texture, temperature, and tempo—each cheese chosen to expand the experience, not overwhelm it.

Perfect for:

  • Gift-worthy moments

  • Small gatherings and cheese-forward feasts

  • Anyone who wants to taste the full range of milk and method

Friday delivery across Victoria, or free pick-up from our Brunswick cheese cave.

Additional Information

The Cheesemonger’s Choice 5 is a curated deep-dive into flavour, texture, and timing. Five cheeses, each selected at its peak by the mongers at Cornelius. You’ll always get contrast—soft, firm, washed, aged, blue—but never predictability. This is a box built for people who want to taste the range of milk, microflora, and method.

Each week’s selection is different. One box might feature a wrinkly goat cheese with citrus twang, a supple Reblochon-style with barnyard bloom, a nutty clothbound cheddar, a sticky washed rind, and a blue so rich it practically pours. Another might lean alpine, or seasonal, or into new wave Australian brilliance. The logic is flavour, not style.

You’ll receive:

  • A minimum of 750g of cheese (often more)

  • A fruit paste or compote, paired to cut or complement

  • Crackers, either standard or gluten-free (your choice)

Ideal for gifting, entertaining, or going long with a good bottle and the right people.
