Hervé Mons Pavé du Cardinal
A semi-matured goat’s cheese from Berry in France. The Berry region is well known for ashed goat’s cheese like Selles-sur-Cher, but Pavé du Cardinal is a rare find. Under the light white rind the paste is creamy and oozy. The lactic flavour is rich with a pleasant mouth coating feeling. Matured to perfection from French affineur Hervé Mons.

Herve Mons Chabichou du Poitou

Herve Mons Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

Occelli al Barolo
Cheese royalty meets wine royalty – once you taste this cheese you will be hooked! Full flavoured ‘testun’ cheeses are coated with the pressed grapes used to make Barolo wine – the flavours of the cheese and grapes mingle together to create a flavour that is bitey, creamy, sweet, winey, buttery and sharp all at once (testun loosely translates to ‘hard-headed’, referring to the texture of the cheese). Once you cut through the coating of crushed grapes, the texture is flaky and melt-in-your mouth soft.
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Cow & Goat blend
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
Roquefort AOP
Roquefort is one of the most famous French AOP cheeses. The flavour is big and bold with a burst of spicy blue mould on the front palate. The finish is creamy – but in an entirely different way to a cow’s milk cheese – more grassy and nutty, very deep and lingering. A salty note hums away in the background, bringing balance to all the flavours. Serve the French way – on a baguette with farmhouse butter and truffle honey.
Region: Midi Pyrénées, France
Milk: Unpasteurised Sheep
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
Cevrin
The perfect size for cheese platters, Cevrin is a cute little goat’s cheese hand-made in the Piedmont region of Italy. It is a soft, almost spreadable cheese with a clean, fresh flavour. As the cheese matures it develops a white mould rind and the flavour intensifies. Available in truffle, ash and juniper berry, or coated with flower petals.
Region: Piedmont, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Goat

Capo di Stato
Cheese and wine combined – this is one of the famous ‘drunken’ hard cheeses of Italy, matured for a minimum of 24 months. This full-flavoured cheese is soaked in the local red wine, which stains the rind dark purple and seeps into the cheese creating ‘purple veins’ and amazing depth of flavour. It is strong and bitey with pronounced wine and grape flavours. The texture is firm, smooth and slightly flaky – the wine soaking helps to keep it moist.
Region: Veneto, Italy
Milk: Unpasteurised Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
St Marcellin
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Soft, dense and fudgey, St Marcellin has a taste you can’t quite get enough of. It is quite unique in that the Geotrichum rind creates a completely different flavour to what you find in a brie or camembert – it is more earthy, rich and nutty and the texture is super-creamy.
Region: Rhone-Alps, France
