Mimolette
Known for its striking deep-orange colour, Mimolette was apparently created to mimic Dutch cheeses during a time of trade restrictions. While the colour may suggest a ‘strong, bitey’ cheese, the flavour is actually quite round and smooth. It has a predominantly hazelnutty flavour with hints of salt and butterscotch on the end palate. Mimolette is very wine friendly, pairing well with a variety of sparkling, white and red wines.

Caprinelle Tomme de Chevre
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.

Brillat Savarin with Truffle (Triple Cream) 500g
Just in case the triple cream cheese Brillat Savarin isn’t indulgent enough for you, we have this version with a layer of shaved truffle through the middle. The characteristic light, creamy interior is complimented by the delicate perfume of black truffles – it is like eating whipped cream with truffles. The texture is smooth and soft – not runny, but definitely ‘melt-in-the-mouth’ territory.
Region: Burgundy, France
Milk Type: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 500g wheel
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.

Canestrato Pecorino
A traditional pecorino from Basilicata hand-made with milk from small farms and then cave-matured. The flavour is full and round with a slightly savoury bite and an elegant but complex finish – each bite offers something different: hints of green grass, butterscotch, roast lamb and dried herbs. Absolutely delicious – it will have you coming back for more and more!

Holy Goat La Luna
This multi-award winning cheese is recognised as one of Australia’s best. It is hand-made by Carla Meurs and Ann-Marie Monda with 100% organic milk from their own herd of dairy goats. The fresh, clean, citrus flavours of the goat’s milk shine through and there is a subtle nutty note from the wrinkly white rind. The texture is smooth and velvety. Made with non-animal rennet.
Region: Sutton Grange, Victoria
Milk: Pasteurised Goat (organic)

Formai de Mut Dop di Alpeggio
Our blue label Formai de Mut is made exclusively with summer milk from mountain pastures 1,300-2,500 metres above sea level and has undergone extended maturation to create a big, savoury flavour. Early buttery and grassy notes give way to a light astringency and then a distinctive finish with hints of pepper steak.

Herve Mons Beaufort Chalet d’Alpage Aop
Beaufort is rightfully known as the ‘Prince of Gruyères’ for its smooth texture and lingering flavours of melted butter and sweet floral notes. We select only the d’Alpage (alpine) version: these cheeses can only be made in mountain chalets with rich Summer milk. Beaufort can often seem mild at first, but after a few moments the depth of flavour overtakes your entire palate – creamy, floral, herbaceous and nutty with hints of yeastiness.

Asiago Pressato Dop
This young Asiago is perfect for those wanting a milder cheese that still delivers on flavour. It has a smooth, supple texture with lots of eyes through-out, and a sweet, milky, slightly nutty flavour. It is great on panini, sandwiches and party platters. It also melts well and is very popular with children.

Paglierino Pecorino
A medium-matured pecorino, cave-aged for around 3 to 4 months. It is made with milk from sheep grazing in the National park of Cilento and the Valley of Diano. The flavour is balanced and gentle – slightly sweet, nutty, grassy flavours coming from the rich sheep’s milk with a mild, savoury finish. A delicious pecorino to serve on cheese platters, enjoy with a glass of Rosé or Pinot Noir. From artisan cheese-makers and affineurs Casa Madaio.
