Herve Mons Mothais sur Feuille
When young, Mothais has a soft, almost runny texture and light, lemony flavour. As it matures, the texture becomes more dense, and the flavours more complex and concentrated. Mothais is wrapped with a leaf (feuille) – a long standing tradition for many French goat’s cheeses.

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 month, a long lasting earthy and nutty flavour.

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.

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.

Petit Langres
What a better way to combines two favourites – Cheese & Champagne. This light coloured washed rind is usually washed with champagne, or served with champagne poured in the middle cavity (fountaine).

St Marcellin
NB: Cheese delivered to selected postcodes within the greater Sydney metropolitan area only.
Soft, dense and fudgey, St Marcellin has a taste you can’t quite get enough of. It is quite unique in that the Geotrichum rind creates a completely different flavour to what you find in a brie or camembert – it is more earthy, rich and nutty and the texture is super-creamy.

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.
