Long Paddock Driftwood
Long Paddock Cheese · Castlemaine, Victoria
Creamy, woodsy and nutty, a spruce-belted soft cheese that bakes like a mini fondue.
The cheese
Long Paddock makes Driftwood in Castlemaine, Victoria, in the style of Vacherin Mont d'Or. The soft cow's milk cheese is wrapped in a belt of spruce bark, under a thin bloomy rind. Each cheese weighs about 180g.
Tasting notes
The paste is creamy and melting, becoming oozy and spoonable with age. The flavour is mildly woodsy, creamy and nutty, growing stronger as it ripens.
How to enjoy
When ripe, cut off the top rind and dip in with bread. Or bake it: leave the bark on, pierce the top, add white wine, thyme and garlic, and bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes. Pair it with a Pinot Noir or a Savagnin.
