International Cheese & Dairy Awards Supreme Champion Cheese!

An unctuous-creamy, semi-soft blue cheese with medium, fruity blue flavours and a creamy texture with rich blue veins. The outer rind on can be mouldy, damp with slight ammonia notes, however this is very normal for blue cheese and by opening the packaging and letting the cheese “breathe” this odour should dissipate or reduce.

The rind can have brownish/grey/blue colours and can be consumed. Please note blue cheese caps are cut near the surface of the cheese wheel which means the blue flavour and saltiness can be more intense.

Off cuts of blue cheese are ideal for culinary use as well as snacking.

This cheese can be frozen, but please be aware that the cheese texture may be drier and include some salty moisture when defrosted.

Ingredients – Pasteurised Milk, Salt, Cultures (Milk), Enzyme (Non-Animal Rennet)

$9.50/500g. Each bag is packed individually. Please note that weights are approximate and will vary as seen in store at the Eltham Cheese Bar.

We restock regularly with offcuts coming out of the factory (within the week) so continue to check again soon if 'out of stock'

How to enjoy and care for your Cheese

1. Remove cheese from the refrigerator 1-2 hours before consuming
2. Unwrap the cheese and let it breathe and come to room temperature; this enhances the flavours.
3. When serving together on a board use separate knives for each cheese type (white soft, blue, semi-soft, firm etc).
   
4. Serve with fresh or dried fruit, nuts, preserves and crusty breads (consider what goes with each type of cheese).
   
5. Include a range from mild-soft to medium and strong cheese styles, add names or descriptions.
6. Re-wrap cheese in its original paper/foil or in greaseproof paper or plastic wrap.
7. Store remaining cheese in a refrigerator (at 4°C).

This cheese can be frozen, but please be aware that the cheese texture may be drier when defrosted.
