Product Information
This organic farmhouse French Brie has an amazing depth of flavour – similar to authentic raw milk Brie (which is banned in Australia). It is rich and creamy with a full, round yeasty, mushroomy note and an ever-so-slight minerally finish. The texture is soft and bulging.
Made and matured on the farm, from the farm’s own herd consisting of approximately 150 dairy cows, this is an authentic organic farmhouse product.
The farm cultivates 160 hectares of land which provides 75 per cent of the feed for the herd, resulting in the milk being a true reflection of the terroir. As the milk is used on
the same day of milking, and travels such a short distance from dairy to fromagerie, it maintains a superior flavor and richness that is definitively reflected in the cheese.
This benchmark cheese displays the classic yeasty, brassica and vegetative flavours that makes this brie so distinctive and unique.

Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa
This cheese is made according to the ancient practise of ‘pit-maturation’ – this process can’t be rushed and is well worth the wait. Young cheeses are wrapped in a cheese-cloth then placed inside a small stone pit in the ground, which is sealed over to restrict oxygen flow. After a few months the cheeses are retrieved, transformed by the unique environment. A rich, savoury flavour and pronounced bite develop to compliment the sweet, grassy notes in the cheese.

Ragusano Dop
Ragusano is an iconic Sicilian cheese made only with Summer milk. It is made according to traditional methods and pressed to form a large ‘brick’ shape, each cheese weighing about 16 kg. It’s made in the same way as caciocavallo and so tastes similar – the flavour is sharp and piccante and there is a rich aroma of herbs, fresh pastures and creamy butter. A great choice if you like strong flavoured cheese with a pronounced bite.

Cinerino Pecorino Casa Madaio
Cinerino is a pecorino coated with aromatic ash from local myrtle trees. In the small town of Castelcivita, the feast of St Anthony is celebrated with bonfires where myrtle branches are burnt – this fine, grey ash is collected and used to coat the wheels of cheese to impart a flavour of myrtle and herbs which balances perfectly with the nutty, grassy notes in the matured cheese. A great choice for cheese and antipasti platters. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.

Montasio Stravecchio Dop
Montasio is the most famous mountain cheese from the north-eastern Italian region of Friuli. We select only very mature wheels (around 3 years old) as the extended aging leads to the development of a subtle, savoury bite perfectly balanced with notes of cream and tropical fruit on the finish – especially pineapple. Montasio is a very popular cheese that works well with pre-dinner drinks, cheese boards and antipasto platters.

Roquefort AOP 250g
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.
