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.
Region: Burgundy, France
Milk Type: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 500g wheel
Ubriaco Prosecco
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.

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 mouth, a long lasting earthy and nutty flavour.
Region: Corsica, France
Milk: Pasteurised Sheep’s Milk

Fresh Brillat Savarin (Triple Cream)
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
This is a fresh triple cream cheese – it has not been mould ripened in any way, so there is no rind. The texture is smooth and spreadable. The flavour is incredibly rich – buttery and creamy with a subtle, lactic finish. It’s addictive – don’t say we didn’t warn you. This is a fresh cheese, best eaten as soon as possible.

Milk Type: Pasteurised Cow
Size: Approx 500g
Goat Gorgonzola
This cheese is modeled on the famous ‘Gorgonzola Piccante’ but made with 100% goat’s milk. There is a sharp note of blue mould at the beginning that gently rolls away to a creamy mid-palate and a delightfully clean, lemony finish with hints of fresh, sweet goat’s milk.

Prefere De Nos Montagnes
This Reblochon style cheese is a pasturised version of the classic Reblochon. Made in the Rhone Alps this mild washed rind has a slight scent of the cellar, a creamy texture and a nutty aftertaste. Its delicate and subtle flavours go well with a glass of Savoie wine and perfect to make Tartiflette.

Milk: Pasteurised Cow’s Milk
Size: Approx 250g
Gorgonzola Piccante Dop
One of the best-known Italian cheeses, Gorgonzola Piccante is a relatively strong blue with a pungent, spicy bite developing early on. The finish is smooth with hints of cream and sweet milk from the lush dairy pastures of the Valsassina region – the original birth-place of this cheese.

Comté Aop matured 24 months
Comté is the king of French cheeses – every wheel hand-made and subtly different. During a 24-month maturation, the 35kg wheels of cheese develop an amazing depth of flavour – the underlying sweet note is accompanied by a rich flavour of roasted nuts and subtle creamy, yeasty finish. Delicious paired with sparkling wines and Pinot Noir.
