Prom Country Moyarra Reserve Raw Milk
Moyarra Reserve is a semi-hard cheese made with raw sheep milk from Prom Country dairy. At 6 months maturation, it has a golden, smear rind. The texture is close and smooth. A vibrant, grassy aroma greets the senses, building into a complex caramel finish, with spice lingering on the back palette.
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

Pecorino Fogliano Morbidi whole wheel 800g approx.
Cacio di Fogliano means “Fogliano cheese”: It is the place where the ewes are raised directly by the producer, 2 km from Siena, in Tuscany. A cheese made from raw milk, with no additives other than rennet and salt: its taste changes depending on the time of year, depending on the herbs on which the sheep eat. Pecorino is a famous sheep’s cheese produced in several regions of Italy. Besides Tuscany, we can mention Sardinia, Abruzzo, Lazio or Calabria. Morbidi has existed since 1941 in the region of Siena, therefore. It was originally a cooperative intended to produce the most classic products of the famous Tuscan charcuterie. In 1960 Morbidi started producing cheeses made from sheep’s milk. Since 1980, the Morbidi family has been at the helm of this family-sized, family-run business, which uses only Tuscan sheep’s milk.
Cacio di Fogliano matured sheep’s cheese is ideal as an aperitif, as a snack, for any snack. Store in a cool place and then in the refrigerator after opening. The marriage is perfect with a Tuscan red wine like a Chianti, a white like a Vernaccia di San Giminano a rosé like our rosé from Tuscany Etel.

Salted Ricotta Truffle
Ricotta Salata is like an older sibling of regular Ricotta. The words ‘Ricotta’ means re-cooked and ‘Salata’ means salted. Both are traditional Italian cheeses made from sheep’s milk whey (Ricotta Salata was first made in Sicily, now made all over Italy). Both have a creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor. But unlike regular Ricotta, which is loose and can be eaten with a spoon, Ricotta Salata is salted, formed into a wheel and aged for several months. The flavor is a bit saltier and the texture is still creamy, but firm enough to crumble, grate or carefully slice.
This version is flavoured with Truffle.

Morbidi Sheep Milk Robiola with Truffle
From the Morbidi Farm in the province of Sienna, a farmhouse soft robiola cheese made with 100% sheep milk with shavings of truffle. The rennet is added to the sweet sheep’s milk, after pasteurization. The resulting curd is cut into large pieces to help retain moisture and is transferred into forms, which are then hand-turned multiple times to induce the whey to exit. The forms are sprayed with an aqueous suspension of Penicillium camemberti which, during the short curing, contributes to the formation of a foamy layer of white. Under this white surface of silky white edible mold, there is a delicate sweet taste, balanced with the cheese’s soft texture and an earthy underlying flavour coming from the black truffle.
