cashel

An Irish cows milk, blue cheese, approximately 8-14 weeks old. When young the Cashel is firm yet moist with a hint of tarragon and white wine. As it ages it mellows to a rounder, spicier style, the interior softens and at its peak, collapses providing a tasty treat.

haxaire munster

This traditional cheese from the Vosges mountains of Northern France was once known as white meat by the monks who developed it. It is matured for two months in humid mountain cellars where the rind is regularly washed in Brine. Famous for its pungent smell and sticky orange rind, the interior is a fine soft and smooth consistency, with a mild creamy, meaty and slightly sweet flavour.

ironstone farmhouse

Naturally rinded traditionally matured cheese Handmade by the Brown Family on their biodynamic farm in Gippsland Victoria. Ironstone Extra Mature is matured the traditional way for a minimum of 18 months under a natural breathing rind. The condensed texture becomes firmer and fine crack may appear in the paste
