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

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.

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.

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.
Region: Centre, France
Milk: Pasteurised Goat
Size: approx 200g each
Taleggio Dop
A little bit stinky and a whole lot of tasty, Taleggio is easily recognised by its deep orange washed rind. This Italian classic has a pungent aroma and a rich, creamy flavour with savoury hints of smoked meats and lightly fried mushrooms. It’s soft and smooth with a creamy finish – enjoy with a beer or glass of Pinot Grigio. Taleggio works well on a cheese platter or use it make a Taleggio, thyme and mushroom pizza – delicious!

Gorgonzola with Truffle
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
This is a ‘Dolce Latte’ Gorgonzola with shaved truffle throughout. The cheese is sweet and creamy with a very mild spiciness coming from the thin blue veins. The truffles add an extra layer of flavour without overpowering the delicate cheese. The finish is creamy and mushroomy, with a hint of warmth and a backnote of truffle.

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
Gorgonzola Dolce Latte Dop
This is the milder version of Gorgonzola – sweet and gentle, rich and creamy. There is still a touch of spice from the pale blue mould, but it is quickly tamed by the incredible creaminess of this cheese. Gorgonzola Dolce Latte has a luscious texture with some super-runny patches here and there. Even people who say they don’t like blue cheese like this.

Epoisses Cremiers Selection 250g
One of the ‘super-stinkies’! This runny little cheese is washed with a local grape spirit during its maturation, to encourage the development of a sticky, orange rind with rich mushroomy and cured meat flavours. If you like strong cheese, you will love Epoisses.
