Product Information
If you like goat’s cheese, you will love Caprinelle – a beautiful semi-hard goat’s milk tomme from Southern France. It has a delightful goat’s milk flavour with a surprisingly creamy finish for a semi-hard cheese. Fresh, clean citrus notes shine through with just a whisper of butterscotch and salt on the back palate. A timeless classic that pairs well with a variety of sparkling and white wines.

Toma Blue alla Erbe
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
This cheese may look unassuming, but don’t be fooled – it has a strong, spicy flavour. After spending 2 months aging on wooden boards, the wheels are coated with herbs and packed into wooden barrels to mature even further – it is during this time that the bold earthy flavours, herbaceous notes and deep spiciness develop.

Pecorino Stagionato in Fossa Morbidi
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.

The cheese: This full-flavoured pecorino is matured the traditional way – on pine boards in a stone cellar, known as a grotta. It is coated with fresh hay when it is young to protect the cheese and to add a deep, complex grassy flavour that compliments the rich, buttery flavours of the sheep’s milk. The cheese develops a subtle savoury bite. It is smooth and even on the tongue, coating the entire palate with the flavours of the Tuscan countryside.

Brebirousse 1kg square (whole wheel) Local Sydney & Melbourne Metro Delivery Only
This delightfully oozy cheese is a mild washed rind style made with 100% sheep’s milk from the Argental region of France (most famously known for Roquefort cheese). When young, the flavours are creamy and slightly sweet, with a hint of mushroomy flavour coming from the light orange rind and a gentle nuttiness characteristic of sheep cheese. More mature cheeses will have a stronger flavour, with more pronounced earthy flavours.

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.
