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.

Hervé Mons Brebis Fougere
Translate by “Ewe fern”, this semi soft sheep's milk washed is dressed with a little fern sprig. As the cheese looks not offensive in flavours, after the first bite you will be wowed by a pleasant but strong “sheepish” flavour. The gritty rind fades away quickly in month, a long lasting earthy and nutty flavour.

Hervé Mons Ovalie Cendree
A semi-matured goat’s cheese from the Loire Valley in France. Picked by Affineur Herve Mons from the cheese maker 10 days after making, Ovaline Cendree will spend a few extra weeks maturing nicely in Herve’s Tunnel/ripening cave next to Lyon, France. Traditionally ashed Ovaline cendree has a oozy texture under the rind with a slightly chalky center. The clean citrusy and goat flavour pairs well with local a sauvignon blanc.

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.

Blu di Bufala
Buffalo milk is sweet and rich and can be used to make some incredible cheeses – like this blue vein ‘Blu di Bufala’. The texture is smooth and even and the flavours are deep and long-lasting – the earthy blue mould and the sweet, milky notes in the buffalo milk are in perfect balance. This farmhouse cheese is made with the milk from the cheese-maker’s own herd of buffalo.

Herve Mons Abondance AOP
Abondance is named after a town and a breed of cow – the milk of which must be used to make the cheese. It is a mountain-style cheese with a smooth, firm texture and earthy aroma reminiscent of the cellars where the cheeses are matured. The flavour is slightly savoury at first, giving way to a creamy sweetness with flavours of roasted nuts, freshly cut grass, mountain herbs and butter.

Parmigiano Reggiano Dop Organic
The King of Cheeses – a great Parmigiano Reggiano like this is a kitchen staple. Our 36 month reggiano from Cantarelli is sweet and savoury with a well-balanced bite. It also has an amazing texture – crumbly and flaky, but still incredibly moist – the result of aging in the family’s naturally ventilated cheese caves, used since the 1800’s for maturing Parmigiano Reggiano. Don’t let a single gram go to waste – use the rind to flavour soups and stocks (discard before serving). Each wedge comes packaged in a special foil to protect the cheese from oxidisation.
