Product Information
Comté is the king of French cheeses – every wheel hand-made and subtly different. It is truly a pleasure to eat. Our 12-month Comté has a smooth, supple texture and sweet nutty flavour with hints of butter and grassy pastures. It is a fantastic choice for a cheese board and a popular fondue cheese.

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.

Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio
This unique cheese has been matured for 3 years to create a dry, crumbly texture and a very sharp bite with fruity overtones. Some would describe the flavour as a cross between cheddar and parmesan – but this doesn’t quite do the cheese justice. Monte Veronese has its own unique charm and reflects the terroir of the grassy, alpine region where it is made (malga = mountain pastures). This cheese is a member of the Slow Food Presidia.

Herve Mons Brillat Savarin Triple Cream 500g
Named after famous French gastronome and avid cheese-lover Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, this cheese is pure indulgence without being over the top. Under the thin, white rind the triple cream interior has a soft, whipped texture and a rich flavour with a light, lingering finish. Like other double and triple creams, it does have added salt, but it is very subtle on the finish.

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.

Ubriaco Prosecco or Durello
This wine-soaked cheese is gentler than some of the others from this region. A young mountain cheese is soaked with sparkling Prosecco wine. This results in a mild, yet pleasing marriage between the creamy, milky flavoured cheese and the light fruity notes of the wine. It is matured for a minimum of 3 months. The texture is soft and supple – enjoy before dinner with a glass of something bubbly.

Stilton Colston Bassett
Colston Bassett is a small dairy co-operative, with 4 local ‘member’ farms that supply all the milk for cheese-making. Their Stilton is rich and buttery, with that characteristic blue-green veining of earthy blue mould that delivers a full, strong flavour. The perfect after-dinner cheese – serve with a good port and some muscatels.

Quadrello
We source this cheese directly from a farmhouse buffalo dairy we found on our travels in Northern Italy – they make cheese each day with milk from their own herd. Quadrello is a bit like a buffalo milk version of Taleggio – a pungent, savoury rind on the outside and a creamy, semi-firm texture inside with a beautiful sweet finish thanks to the rich buffalo milk – delicious on cheese or antipasto platters and paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio or Pinot Noir.

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.

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.
