Prom Country Brewer’s Gold
Delicate, exotic, malty, ale-washed cheese
A seasonal collaboration from Wattlebank Park Farm cow milk & Loch Brewery & Distillery Dark Ale, by cheesemaker Burke Brandon & Brewer Craig Johnson. Vegetarian rennet.
Brewer’s Gold is a traditional slow-set soft lactic cheese, rind-washed daily in Dark Ale from Loch Brewery & Distillery, a regional neighbour of Prom Country Cheese in South Gippsland.

Prom Country Black Sheep Buche
Rich Farmhouse Sheep Cheese dusted with vine charcoal. Black Sheep is unique farmhouse-style cheese rarely seen in Australia, named after some of the coloured Moyarra ewes that supply the milk. Black sheep are known to have a particular character and attitude that stands them apart from the flock.
Each log is gently hand ladled from 500ml of ewes’ milk curd, and lightly salted. A melt-in-the-mouth, dense, creamy cheese with an attractive, mottled , silvery-white rind that develops after 2 weeks’ maturation, as the distinctive flora grows through the layer of vine charcoal – house-made from Gippsland Wine Company (Loch) Cabernet vine prunings, and dusted lightly onto the surface. This neutralises some lactic acid which sweetens the cheese, and assists development of the wrinkly rind.
Serving
May be enjoyed from 2 weeks old (mild with yoghurt-like, fresh flavour), but beyond one month the brittle core softens throughout to become a spicey, oozing cheese. Allow it to warm well at room temperature before serving. Match with full-bodied red wine and fresh (or preserved) fruits.

Prom Country Poppet Pyramid
Traditional pyramid with herb. Vegetarian rennet. Farmhouse-style sheep cheese with a creamy, fine texture, a pure white body and virtually no rind. As it gets older, a light bloomy rind develops. It is sprinkled with seasonal herbs.
Poppet of course is a word of endearment, and it may well be a case of “love at first taste”. It had to be called Poppet, considering the coal mining history of the Gippsland region and the shape of the poppet head that lifted the coal to the surface.
The shape of Poppet actually promotes a silky-soft texture, a perfect match for the subtle herb flavours that permeate the cheese.

The first commercial cheese in Victoria to be uncooked at any stage of the process, all life from the fresh, clean raw Moyarra ewes milk at the time of production is encapsulated in this simple gourmet delight. While not a strong cheese, the flavour is unique and complex

Prom Country Sheep Sensation Crottin
Sheep Sensation is a unique, farmhouse-style cheese. A slow-make technique develops a fine, close texture with a creamy, luscious mouth feel. The body is covered in a wrinkled, bloomy white rind. The flavour is distinctively different – a balance between sweet and sour, and long on the palate. Melts in the mouth. The aroma is of the farm, reminiscent of freshly-cut grass.
Sheep Sensation can be enjoyed at any stage, from fresh (3-5 days), to creamy (14 days) to semi-matured (3-4 weeks) to aged (2-3 months), when it develops a waxy-smooth, drier texture with concentrated flavours and a peppery finish.
Sheep Sensation has amazing characteristics, controlled by the rind flora, which allow it to mature gracefully into a grating style cheese. The moulds slowly draw moisture out of the cheese. This moisture should be allowed to escape unless you are looking for a more pungent cheese. For this to happen, wrap in waxed parchment.

The golden aura of this style develops naturally from flora associated with vineyards. The aroma and flavour integrate and intensify with age, and the warmer the cheese becomes, the more powerful is this effect. Bring to room temperature for one hour before serving.

Each stage of the process is performed by hand, from the turning of the curds to the wrapping of each truckle in cheesecloth.
