Product Information
Our 48 month Comté from Marcel Petite has been specially matured to develop an amazingly complex flavour that will have you coming back for more and more – sweet roasted nuts, hints of yeastiness, rich cream and an echo of grassy mountain pastures. The texture retains a smooth consistency, but becomes firm and condensed over time. Small, white amino acid crystals can be seen through-out the interior – the sign of a well matured cheese. Very Rare indeed!

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.

Roquefort AOP Carles – The Best there is!
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.
