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.
Region: Lombardy, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
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.

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.

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.
Region: Rhone Alps
Milk: Pasteurised Cow’s Milk
Size: Approx 250g
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.
Region: Veneto, Italy
Milk: Pasteurised Cow
Size: approx 250g wedge cut to order
Sainte Maure Caprifeuille 280g
One of the classic goat’s cheeses from France, made in a traditional log shape. Younger cheeses have a creamy, lemony tang. As the cheese matures, the nutty and earthy flavours from the rind become stronger, and the texture becomes firmer.
Region: Poitou-Charentes, France
Milk: Pasteurised Goat
Size: approx 250g each
Monte Veronese di Malga Dop – Slow Food Presidio 3 years old
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.
Region: Veneto, Italy
Milk: Unpasteurised Cow

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.
