Prom Country Waratah Washed Rind approx. 400g
Pure sheep cheese, oozing with gentle, complex flavours. A cheese that displays the finest qualities of sheep milk, finishing with the back-palate softness so typical of sheep cheese. Soft smear-ripened cheese with a luscious texture and delectable flavours, lingering on the palate with a final sweetness. 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. May become sticky, stinky and extreme when fully mature.

The interior of the cheese is creamy yellow with a smooth texture. The rind is orange and grey in colour, which gradually reddens and becomes sticky over time. Demi Pont l’eveque is the perfect size for a picnic.

St Nectaire AOP
This pasteurised milk cheese is modelled on the raw milk AOP Saint Nectaire. It’s a medium-strength washed rind style with a dense, buttery texture. The flavours are balanced and slightly savoury with subtle hints of mushrooms and crusty sourdough bread coming through, rounding out to a creamy finish with earthy notes on the back palate. Serve on cheese boards accompanied with fruit jams, marmalade or glacé clementines. It can be enjoyed with bread, or herbed crackers (rosemary, fennel etc). It pairs well with craft beers and most medium-bodied white and red wines, Merlot and Riesling in particular. When young (with a thin, pale orange rind and bulging interior), it can also be used in tartiflette and gratins, although older cheeses are not as well suited to cooking as the flavours become much more intense.
