Swissmathier Appenzeller Alpage
Appenzell has been made in the Swiss Alps for over 700 hundred years. It is a bit like a gruyere, but with a more pronounced flavour and rich hints of cream and roasted almonds to finish. It is a great cheese for those who like a full flavour and a smooth, even texture that isn’t crumbly.

Parmigiano Reggiano Dop Organic
The King of Cheeses – a great Parmigiano Reggiano like this is a kitchen staple. Our reggiano from Cantarelli is sweet and savoury with a well-balanced bite. It also has an amazing texture – crumbly and flaky, but still incredibly moist – the result of aging in the family’s naturally ventilated cheese caves, used since the 1800’s for maturing Parmigiano Reggiano. Aged for 36 months and certified organic don’t let a single gram go to waste, grate on pasta or use the rind to flavour soups and stocks. Each wedge comes freshly sliced off the block wrapped in wax paper and sealed to protect the cheese from oxidisation.

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.

Stelvio Dop
Another classic mountain cheese from the Trentino Alto-Adige region in northeastern Italy – and this one is strong and stinky! Don’t be put off by the pungent smell – Stelvio has a delicious savoury flavour with hints of cured meats and fried mushrooms on the finish. The texture is smooth and semi-firm, a little supple with some small eyes through the centre. A great addition to cheese and antipasto platters.

Brillat Savarin with Truffle 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.

Swissmathier L’Etivaz Aop

Asiago DOP Stravecchio di Malga dell’Altopiano dei Sette Comuni – Slow Food Presidio – 3 years old
Aged Asiago from the Mountain Dairies of the Plateau of the Seven Communities. This is a very rare, artisan version of Asiago, matured for 19 months and produced only with raw Summer milk (June – September) from mountain pastures, no silage or GMO feeds are permitted. The aroma is amazing and the flavour is initially sweet, gradually tending to savoury-nutty with hints of green pastures and toasted bread – incredibly complex. In honour of the traditional methods used to make this cheese, it's a member of the Slow Food Presidium.
